Chapter 17

Eradrin glanced around the hallway outside Frodo's room. The Hobbits were nowhere in sight. She sighed. Now I have to go find them, she thought. Suddenly voices rang out loudly down the hallway. "But Merry! I haven't had anything to eat for the past hour!"

"Well, I haven't either! So just sit tight and be quiet until someone comes for us!"

Ah! There are the Hobbits! Eradrin thought. She took off around the corner until she came to face three Hobbits sitting on a bench. They stopped talking and stared at Eradrin. Finally one spoke up. "Peregrin Took, at your service!" He gestured his hand to the right. "And this is Meriadoc Brandybuck!" To the left. "And Samwise Gamgee! Except you can call me Pippin, him Merry, and you can call Samwise 'Sam'." Eradrin looked a little startled at the hasty greeting.

"Hello..." She slowly replied, "My name is Eradrin..." Pippin jumped up. He took her hand and shook it so strongly that Eradrin almost fell over. "Nice to meet you, m' lady!" Sam grabbed Pippin's shirt and dragged him back onto the bench. He turned to Eradrin and mouthed "Sorry." Eradrin nodded, amusement gleaming in her eyes. She held out her hand. "Now, I suspect that you three are hungry..." Pippin jumped back up immediately and took Eradrin's hand. He smiled. "Yes! We are very hungry! Could you take us to some food, perhaps?" He looked at Eradrin hopefully. She nodded. "Most certainly!" And led the trio of Hobbits outside.

They came to a garden with a small table surrounded by four chairs under a willow tree that draped over a river. Eradrin sat them down at the table and went to the kitchen to prepare food for the hungry Hobbits. Humming to herself, she mixed salads for the Hobbits, and sprinkled a little cinnamon-sugar on the top of each, then put them on a tray. Then she picked up the tray and walked out.

Eradrin set the tray down. The Hobbits stopped talking as soon as the spotted the food. The attacked their bowls and ate all the food in about ten seconds. Eradrin had never seen anyone eat so fast. She chuckled to herself. Merry stood up and asked, "Lady Eradrin, sorry to bother you again, but where can we sleep?" Eradrin motioned for the hobbits to follow her. "Here, I will show you." She replied, and led them into The Last Homely House. She walked down a marble hallway into a small and cozy room with three hobbit sized beds. Moving to the side, she waited for the hobbits to enter. They stepped through the doorway, thanked Eradrin, and flopped on the beds, falling asleep instantly. Sam, though, hesitated. Turning back to Eradrin, he said, "Beggin your pardon m'lady, but I have a question." Eradrin tilted her head to the side. "What do you want, Sam?" Eradrin asked. He quietly asked, "I'd really like to go see Mr. Frodo. Could you take me to him?" Eradrin kindly nodded. "Follow me." She whispered. She tiptoed out the door, Sam following. Stopping in front of a room, Eradrin whispered, "He's right in here." And quietly opened the door.

Eradrin was surprised by how improved Frodo looked. Only this morning, he had looked half dead. Now he looked as if he had a minor cold. Eradrin hurried across to Elrond, who was sitting in a chair next to Frodo's bed, and whispered in his ear, "Sam wanted to come and see Frodo. May he?" Elrond nodded. Eradrin motioned to Sam to come in. The hobbit hurled himself across the room and landed next to Frodo with a thunk! Eradrin slowly backed out of the room. Turning around, she wearily walked down the hall into her room, jumped on her bed, and fell asleep instantly.

Sorry I didn't post this yesterday, I would have, but I was out camping.
