Indeed, better to be safe than sorry in this case. Love Belan's gentle concern for both his master and the Hobbits.

How true, a horse and human must seems to intimidating to hobbits! I like it that they call him "Mr Hirluin," that's a nice cultural element. And I'm glad the healer daughter is not at home, since that would have been a little too pat. Leaving some of her salves behind is plausible enough.

Author Reply: *grin* The horse and the human are going to be intimidating by their size if nothing else. The "Mr. Hirluin" seemed very natural to me; these are farmers of about the same social class as Farmer Cotton and Farmer Maggot.

I'm glad you appreciate the part about the daughter--that was exactly my reasoning for why she wasn't home for a visit at the time. But she'll certainly be needed later.

This is getting better and better! I hope the authorities will believe Hirluin soon enough.

How would we react if someone told us that creatures out of nursery tales were coming to attack us?

Such a smart horse. A good partner for a solitary Ranger to have on his travels. So now we know that the Ranger has a better chance. Next, to find the Bounders! It is probably a good thing that the Thain is also a "Took". That Tookish sense of adventure makes it more likely that the message will be believed. Now to see the Battle of Greenfileds from the Hobbits' point of view. I will be watching!
