This is most unfortunate !
I can't find my best handkerchief, I looked everywhere but sadly no luck. It was the last gift my father gave me before passing away, so it has a huge sentimental value to me. I need to find it, I am so clumsy sometime, how does one go about losing a handkerchief ? Of all things that one can lose...buttons, hair, teeth...I go and misplace one of the most precious things I own. I must retrace my steps in the last few days, visit the same places, meet the same people.
Oh she was a a cheerful and friendly hobbit - she said she likes summer but prefers winter ( that made me smile ) , but she loves to stroll in the fine weather too , up and down along the stream between Brockenborings and Overhill...something about a waterfall and some pebbles and an old tradition, but I did not ask any further because I noticed how her smile disappeared when she mentioned the waterfall.
She was wearing a cute green hat and a baggy tunic ( not sure why though, not what a hobbit lass would usually wear I think ) , I could not see her face very well in the dark, but her voice sounded nice and gentle. She mentioned the old cottage with the blue door at the edge of the village, she said it belong to her now...that surely got my full attention because grandpa Rufus does mention that house in his book. I may need to go and have a look at the burrow myself, and better not say a word about this...for now at least.
'Warning! Caution! Don't go near!
Blue door cottage holds much to fear!
Once home to hobbits plain and fair,
Now something strange lives there.'
I will walk down the village later on today, ask the bounders, maybe someone found my handkerchief and handed it in at the Watch Office, that would be what I would do if I find something that is lost, then again hobbits do like mathoms and I fear someone may just want to keep it but I really hope not.
