A brisk knock on the door brought no response after several minutes. When the three arrived, late in the morning between elevenses and luncheon, they noticed the curtains still drawn, and no smoke issuing from the kitchen chimney. When she heard the news, she insisted on going to Crickhollow the very next day to check on her brother, and spurred by her concern Merry’s parents went with her. However, on Hensday, Pippin’s oldest sister Pearl had arrived at Brandy Hall for a visit. As this was exactly the reason the cousins had moved in together, Saradoc and Esmeralda had been understanding. He’d told his parents that his cousin Pippin, who shared the house at Crickhollow with him, was having nightmares again. It had been a Mersday, the fifteenth of Rethe. The thought of that day made him feel a bit weak in the knees, and he sat down on a handy barrel and took out his pipe, while he waited for Berilac to put away the boat and join him.

He shook his head at his own impatience-Merry’s return to the Shire, alive and in one piece was miracle enough.

The Master of Buckland and his nephew Berilac were spending a fine morning in early spring inspecting the Ferry landing.īerilac who was in a small boat, checking the pilings, called out “They look just fine, Uncle Saradoc! I don’t think they even need tarring!” What else happened in that first Spring after the Ring was destroyed and the Kingdoms were renewed?
