Strider gave Arwen & I the silent treatment for two whole days. It took a bit of cajoling on our part, but we finally got him to smile yesterday, and he sang for us in the evening. During the night, we saw lights flashing in the eastern sky. It looked like lightning, but there were no clouds...very strange. We camped by a small stream today, and Strider caught several fish for our dinner. He's so handy to have around, I think we'll keep him.

At the day's end they came to a stream that wandered down from the hills to lose itself in the stagnant marshland, and they went up along its banks while the light lasted. It was already night when at last they halted and made their camp under some stunted alder-trees by the shores of the stream. Ahead there loomed now against the dusky sky the bleak and treeless backs of the hills. That night they set a watch, and Strider, it seemed, did not sleep at all. The moon was waxing, and in the early night-hours a cold grey light lay on the land.
