The Hobbit Hole XXVIII - Through shadows to the edge of night
http://freeper.the-hobbit-hole.net/ ^

Posted on 02/24/2006 9:52:11 AM PST by HairOfTheDog

Welcome to The Hobbit Hole!

Through shadows to the edge of night

New verse:

Upon the hearth the fire is red,
Beneath the roof there is a bed;
But not yet weary are our feet,
Still round the corner we may meet
A sudden tree or standing stone
That none have seen but we alone.
Tree and flower and leaf and grass,
Let them pass! Let them pass!
Hill and water under sky,
Pass them by! Pass them by!

Still round the corner there may wait
A new road or a secret gate,
And though we pass them by today,
Tomorrow we may come this way
And take the hidden paths that run
Towards the Moon or to the Sun.
Apple, thorn, and nut and sloe,
Let them go! Let them go!
Sand and stone and pool and dell,
Fare you well! Fare you well!

Home is behind, the world ahead,
And there are many paths to tread
Through shadows to the edge of night,
Until the stars are all alight.
Then world behind and home ahead,
We’ll wander back to home and bed.
Mist and twilight, cloud and shade,
Away shall fade! Away shall fade!
Fire and lamp, and meat and bread,
And then to bed! And then to bed!

Oh, I am sure they believe we spent a lot of the time screwing stuff against the wall. You don't think they would not trust us do you?

Trust us? They have no reason to think otherwise, it's not like they have pictures.

Of course, it's really my dad's trust we have to worry about... my spies do not report him purchasing any weaponry as of yet, so we must be ok.

I'm pretty sure he's not toying with ~us~.

He'd better not be toying with me, either.

Now, fooling around with me... that might be another story.

"You, Miss Scarlett, need to be toyed with-- often-- and by somebody that knows how."

A gentleman would never say such things.

Gentlemen are ~so~ overrated anyhow. ;-)

These will be nice rooms all though not 'to code' since I did not bother with any of that permit or inspection nonsense (shhhhh).

Heh. When I had my house inspected, they found that the washer was run on an extension cord strung through the crawlspace.

We don't need no steenkin' code!

Would I do that?
Assuming I had nothing better available to toy with?

That would be fun. Don't think there'd be enough Hobbits coming to make a really impressive display though...
