Weaving Dreams

            Eglantine Banks Took sat down at her loom and took up her shuttle feeling pleasantly hopeful for the future.  Her eldest daughter had finally managed to capture the attention of young Frodo Baggins, and it was certainly about time!  Pearl had set her cap for her second cousin several times removed some years ago at the Free Fair.  It had taken the two of them to finally waken him to Pearl’s interest in him, but it was well worth it.

            Lanti began weaving a blanket, imagining it covering the marriage bed of the future Master and Mistress of Bag End.
