Halbarad threw a dry log onto the fire and watched the sparks spiral upwards in the night air.

“A few trolls to enliven the boredom wouldn’t go amiss.”

Aragorn laughed. “We’re too far south for trolls.”

“Then we should go north tomorrow. There’s been no threat to the South Farthing greater than a grumpy badger.”

“Forget trolls. Some ale wouldn’t go amiss.

Halbarad smiled. “I’ll forego trolls in favour of ale.”

Rangers could travel swiftly at need and long legs made short work of the wooded hills and grassy dales of the Shire.

Barliman Butterbur’s ale was worth the walk.
