From “The Life-book of Lancogard North-Took”:

Overhill, North-farthing, The Shire, 23 Afteryule

Though not much which anyone else would note had happened, the past couple of weeks had been unusual for Daphne.
The Waymeet Market seemed to have gone fairly well, despite the appearance of a couple shady characters, and her load had been decently light for the weeks past.

We have just recently finished our errantry in Waymeet, a tiny town in the Shire. The market was definitely a success, with customers from all walks of life and all races coming to look at our wares. We made many a coin, though I myself, did not participate in the selling of the wares.

Ye know, as I sit's here out side me caravan, it nevers ceases to amaze me the number of folk who pass through our little hamlet of Waymeet. I means, ye see's all kinds of folk. True, that some dunna even spare us a glance - thinking we're no fit ter be greeted. Them's the only that hale mainly from the Little Delving... now I've never worked out why those folk think there better than us all, I gather they even look down on some in Michel Delving - now that is queer!

But I tell's ye, ye'll never find a placemore full of life and laughter than Waymeet.

The pale light of the full moon that lit the Great Road. yule was holding the reins of the pony harnessed to her wagon. She paced slowly onwards in the direction of Buckland, her bare feet treading out the path that was taking her back to the Shire and her memories on  this noiseless night under the moon. Her hair unbound, her robe uncintured. She knew she was probably watched by hidden eyes in the dark shadows.

Yule looked at the bright star shining to the North in the early evening sky . Byco stood next to her in silence for a long moment, not wanting to interrupt her thoughts. As she moved, he followed. They walked in silence along the road to the west, leaving Bywater and the Green Dragon Inn behind.Her delicate feet still trying to get used to the ways of the hobbits. She paused to gaze upwards at the many stars enjoying the fresh night breeze blowing gently in her hair.
