Once his shift in the inn was done, Nob slipped out to meet up with his friend Bob.

They settled down in a corner of the stables, a flagon of frothing ale between them.

Two hours later, wrapped in horse blankets, they were sound asleep.

Neither of them noticed the shadowy figure who opened the doors and brandished a whip in the faces of the horses and ponies.

As the panicked creatures fled. black dread settled on the young hobbits like a shroud and, to their shame, they burrowed deep in the straw, hoping not to attract the intruder’s notice.
