Tahi turned to Bywater, and back up the Hill, as day was ending once more in a beautiful sunset in the Shire. And he went on to his village, to Overhill, and there was yellow light, and fire within; and the evening meal was ready, and he was expected by his parents. And his father Baldo drew him in, and set him in his chair, and his mother brought him his pipe and pipe-weed . He drew a deep breath. ‘Well, I’m back,’ he said - it's Spring, there must be badgers in the wood.
