In
those
days
no
other
Men
had
settled
dwellings
so
far
west
,
or
within
a
hundred
leagues
of
the
Shire
.
But
in
the
wild
lands
beyond
Bree
there
were
mysterious
wanderers
.
The
Bree-folk
called
them
Rangers
,
and
knew
nothing
of
their
origin
.
They
were
taller
and
darker
than
the
Men
of
Bree
and
were
believed
to
have
strange
powers
of
sight
and
hearing
,
and
to
understand
the
languages
of
beasts
and
birds
.
They
roamed
at
will
southwards
,
and
eastwards
even
as
far
as
the
Misty
Mountains
;
but
they
were
now
few
and
rarely
seen
.
When
they
appeared
they
brought
news
from
afar
,
and
told
strange
forgotten
tales
which
were
eagerly
listened
to
;
but
the
Bree-folk
did
not
make
friends
of
them
.
There
were
also
many
families
of
hobbits
in
the
Bree-land
;
and
they
claimed
to
be
the
oldest
settlement
of
Hobbits
in
the
world
,
one
that
was
founded
long
before
even
the
Brandywine
was
crossed
and
the
Shire
colonized
.
They
lived
mostly
in
Staddle
though
there
were
some
in
Bree
itself
,
especially
on
the
higher
slopes
of
the
hill
,
above
the
houses
of
the
Men
.
The
Big
Folk
and
the
Little
Folk
(
as
they
called
one
another
)
were
on
friendly
terms
,
minding
their
own
affairs
in
their
own
ways
,
but
both
rightly
regarding
themselves
as
necessary
parts
of
the
Bree-folk
.
Nowhere
else
in
the
world
was
this
peculiar
(
but
excellent
)
arrangement
to
be
found
.
The
Bree-folk
,
Big
and
Little
,
did
not
themselves
travel
much
;
and
the
affairs
of
the
four
villages
were
their
chief
concern
.
Occasionally
the
Hobbits
of
Bree
went
as
far
as
Buckland
,
or
the
Eastfarthing
;
but
though
their
little
land
was
not
much
further
than
a
day
's
riding
east
of
the
Brandywine
Bridge
,
the
Hobbits
of
the
Shire
now
seldom
visited
it
.
An
occasional
Bucklander
or
adventurous
Took
would
come
out
to
the
Inn
for
a
night
or
two
,
but
even
that
was
becoming
less
and
less
usual
.
The
Shire-hobbits
referred
to
those
of
Bree
,
and
to
any
others
that
lived
beyond
the
borders
,
as
Outsiders
,
and
took
very
little
interest
in
them
,
considering
them
dull
and
uncouth
.
There
were
probably
many
more
Outsiders
scattered
about
in
the
West
of
the
World
in
those
days
than
the
people
of
the
Shire
imagined
.
Some
,
doubtless
,
were
no
better
than
tramps
,
ready
to
dig
a
hole
in
any
bank
and
stay
only
as
long
as
it
suited
them
.
But
in
the
Bree-land
,
at
any
rate
,
the
hobbits
were
decent
and
prosperous
,
and
no
more
rustic
than
most
of
their
distant
relatives
Inside
.
It
was
not
yet
forgotten
that
there
had
been
a
time
when
there
was
much
coming
and
going
between
the
Shire
and
Bree
.
There
was
Bree-blood
in
the
Brandybucks
by
all
accounts
.
The
village
of
Bree
had
some
hundred
stone
houses
of
the
Big
Folk
,
mostly
above
the
Road
,
nestling
on
the
hillside
with
windows
looking
west
.
On
that
side
,
running
in
more
than
half
a
circle
from
the
hill
and
back
to
it
,
there
was
a
deep
dike
with
a
thick
hedge
on
the
inner
side
.
Over
this
the
Road
crossed
by
a
causeway
;
but
where
it
pierced
the
hedge
it
was
barred
by
a
great
gate
.
There
was
another
gate
in
the
southern
corner
where
the
Road
ran
out
of
the
village
.
The
gates
were
closed
at
nightfall
;
but
just
inside
them
were
small
lodges
for
the
gatekeepers
.
Down
on
the
Road
,
where
it
swept
to
the
right
to
go
round
the
foot
of
the
hill
,
there
was
a
large
inn
.
It
had
been
built
long
ago
when
the
traffic
on
the
roads
had
been
far
greater
.
For
Bree
stood
at
an
old
meeting
of
ways
;
another
ancient
road
crossed
the
East
Road
just
outside
the
dike
at
the
western
end
of
the
village
,
and
in
former
days
Men
and
other
folk
of
various
sorts
had
travelled
much
on
it
.
Strange
as
News
from
Bree
was
still
a
saying
in
the
Eastfarthing
,
descending
from
those
days
,
when
news
from
North
,
South
,
and
East
could
be
heard
in
the
inn
,
and
when
the
Shire-hobbits
used
to
go
more
often
to
hear
it
.
But
the
Northern
Lands
had
long
been
desolate
,
and
the
North
Road
was
now
seldom
used
:
it
was
grass-grown
,
and
the
Bree-folk
called
it
the
Greenway
.
The
Inn
of
Bree
was
still
there
,
however
,
and
the
innkeeper
was
an
important
person
.
His
house
was
a
meeting
place
for
the
idle
,
talkative
,
and
inquisitive
among
the
inhabitants
,
large
and
small
,
of
the
four
villages
;
and
a
resort
of
Rangers
and
other
wanderers
,
and
for
such
travellers
(
mostly
dwarves
)
as
still
journeyed
on
the
East
Road
,
to
and
from
the
Mountains
.
It
was
dark
,
and
white
stars
were
shining
,
when
Frodo
and
his
companions
came
at
last
to
the
Greenway-crossing
and
drew
near
the
village
.
They
came
to
the
West-gate
and
found
it
shut
;
but
at
the
door
of
the
lodge
beyond
it
,
there
was
a
man
sitting
.
He
jumped
up
and
fetched
a
lantern
and
looked
over
the
gate
at
them
in
surprise
.
