Any of you fine GentleHobbits want to help me haul the water to cauldron, or gather tinder for the fire?

Do you really want it shaven? Or we could put it up with some festive beads and bells...
Ah, the Mirkwood lads are here! No, wait - it's Mirkwood lasses! The lads stopped off to help the Rangers find the missing brown cows. Well, have we any Honorary Wenches willing to entertain these merry elf-maids? We Wenches will prepare rooms for the ladies to freshen up in!

*Wonders why her dreams included goats and shining trees. Wonders if her dreams were actually nightmares. Decides it doesn't matter and staggers up the stairs to find a quieter, softer nook with "sunbe-e-e-a-a-mmmms" resonating in her head.*

*Gracefully descends the stairs after a soothing bath, straw hat jauntily perched upon her fair locks, gardening gloves dangling in left hand*
*Surveys Beren and fallow and smiles prettily as she sashays past them to the flowerbeds that need attention*
*Waves at Jenny and Mayday* "Good Afternoon, ladies! Lovely day and the flowerbeds await me. Shall I start with the daffodils and tulips or tie backt he roses?"

::looks up from hair and waves at Shan:: Ho, Shan! I don't really know about the garden... Could you do something about the roses, though? Those things are vicious... ::sucks thumb, then goes back to plaiting hair::

*Steps outside and proceeds to the rosebeds, muttering under her breath "I am not afraid of giant spiders, oh no . . . I am not afraid of giant spiders, oh no . . . "*
*Breathes deeply of the perfumed air and basks in the sunshine*
"What a glorious day"

Actually, Shelob is great help keeping down the squash bugs. She's beautiful, and utterly fascinating! Once you understand her habits, she's really not all that bad.
I use her to help guard the Secret Tunnel, and as long as you carry the Light of Elendil, she won't bother you at all.

*feels a sense of foreboding as he contemplates an encounter between Ungoliant, the giant sap-sucking spider, and Shilob, the giant people-sucking spider*
If a person is a sap, does he get sucked twice?
That sucks.
