It

was

hard

to

follow

,

for

it

went

many

ways

,

and

I

was

at

a

loss

.

But

it

seemed

to

me

that

one

or

two

had

ridden

towards

Bree

;

and

that

way

I

went

,

for

I

thought

of

words

that

might

be

said

to

the

innkeeper

.

"

Butterbur

they

call

him

,

"

thought

I.

"

If

this

delay

was

his

fault

,

I

will

melt

all

the

butter

in

him

.

I

will

roast

the

old

fool

over

a

slow

fire

.

"

He

expected

no

less

,

and

when

he

saw

my

face

he

fell

down

flat

and

began

to

melt

on

the

spot

.

"

"

What

did

you

do

to

him

?

"

cried

Frodo

in

alarm

.

"

He

was

really

very

kind

to

us

and

did

all

that

he

could

.

Gandalf

laughed

.

"

Do

n't

be

afraid

!

"

he

said

.

"

I

did

not

bite

,

and

I

barked

very

little

.

So

overjoyed

was

I

by

the

news

that

I

got

out

of

him

,

when

he

stopped

quaking

,

that

I

embraced

the

old

fellow

.

How

it

happened

I

could

not

then

guess

,

but

I

learned

that

you

had

been

in

Bree

the

night

before

,

and

had

gone

off

that

morning

with

Strider

.

"

Strider

!

"

I

cried

,

shouting

for

joy

.

"

Yes

,

sir

,

I

am

afraid

so

,

sir

,

"

said

Butterbur

,

mistaking

me

.

"

He

got

at

them

,

in

spite

of

all

that

I

could

do

,

and

they

took

up

with

him

.

They

behaved

very

queer

all

the

time

they

were

here

:

wilful

,

you

might

say

.

"

"

Ass

!

Fool

!

Thrice

worthy

and

beloved

Barliman

!

"

said

I.

"

It

's

the

best

news

I

have

had

since

midsummer

:

it

's

worth

a

gold

piece

at

the

least

.

May

your

beer

be

laid

under

an

enchantment

of

surpassing

excellence

for

seven

years

!

"

said

I.

"

Now

I

can

take

a

night

's

rest

,

the

first

since

I

have

forgotten

when

.

"

So

I

stayed

there

that

night

,

wondering

much

what

had

become

of

the

Riders

;

for

only

of

two

had

there

yet

been

any

news

in

Bree

,

it

seemed

.

But

in

the

night

we

heard

more

.

Five

at

least

came

from

the

west

,

and

they

threw

down

the

gates

and

passed

through

Bree

like

a

howling

wind

;

and

the

Bree-folk

are

still

shivering

and

expecting

the

end

of

the

world

.

I

got

up

before

dawn

and

went

after

them

.

"

I

do

not

know

,

but

it

seems

clear

to

me

that

this

is

what

happened

.

Their

Captain

remained

in

secret

away

south

of

Bree

,

while

two

rode

ahead

through

the

village

,

and

four

more

invaded

the

Shire

.

But

when

these

were

foiled

in

Bree

and

at

Crickhollow

,

they

returned

to

their

Captain

with

tidings

,

and

so

left

the

Road

unguarded

for

a

while

,

except

by

their

spies

.

The

Captain

then

sent

some

eastward

straight

across

country

,

and

he

himself

with

the

rest

rode

along

the

Road

in

great

wrath

.
