Title: Worse than Mordor

Remember that tree, Mr. Frodo? It had the sweetest apples in the Shire. And that shed there, it's right in the place where the daffydowndillys always bloomed come spring. The well's been fouled – something's dead down there and please don't let it be Lotho. Though probably 'tis. Saruman had to know we were coming. He's left his filth smeared on the kitchen floor, and there's not a bite of food nor drop of drink in Bag End I'd trust not to be poisoned.

You go along back to Farmer Cotton's, and let me get started. I'll make it right.

Somehow.
