Barrow-Downs Birthday Party at the Fields of Cormallen - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

***Mithadan*** · 05-17-2002, 09:49 AM

Having heard rumour of a party, Folly Furfoot and his friend Isengar respond in an appropriately Hobbitish fashion. In anticipation of the service of many fine meals, they attempt to arrive in a timely manner -- three days early.

Tiptoeing up to the forum entrance, Folly tries the door. Isengar, waiting impatiently behind hisses to his friend, "Well? Can we get in?"

Folly turns and shakes his wooly-pated head. "No. The door's locked." They listen for a moment and hear from behind the door the sounds of saws and hammers working feverishly. Even more promising (to the Hobbits' minds) was the sound of bottles clinking and the smell of food being prepared.

"There must be a way in!" cried Isengar.

"There is," said a voice from behind them. They turned to find Mithadan testing the edge of a long knife. "You must get by me first!"

As the Hobbits babbled nervous apologies, Mithadan took the knife by its hilts and, first placing a note on its point, sank it into the locked door. The note read:

-----------------

"See you Monday and no earlier," said Mithadan with a meaningful glance at the blade. The Hobbits hurriedly fled to mark their calenders and dream about the festivities. Would the day ever arrive?

Mithadan checked to make sure the door and the topic were locked. He chuckled. No one would be able to post until monday when the party began.
