A Valuable Volume
The long trek to the Great Smials of Tuckborough has paid off. There are a few false starts: Gaerondil finds and rejects volumes on swine, show chickens, and split-rail fences, while Redandir, predictably, selects To Win a Lass, and Hermanniadoc goes for Fireside Tales of the Shire. But once again, it is Lirisseya whose unerring research skills find the right volume -- a book called The Green Thumb by Old Gardner Greenleaves contains a sketch of the very flower the Elves are researching!
In the absence of hiril Manadhlaer's secretary, Gaerondil is deputized to copy the lore as fast as possible. The Elves and hobbits, at the end of a long day, can barely bring themselves to part; the Elves insist on giving their new friends some healing salves, which are well received.
