A Short Cut To Mushrooms
They waded the stream, and hurried over a wide open space, rush-grown and treeless, on the further side. [...] The leaves blew upwards in sudden gusts of wind, and sports of rain began to fall from the overcast sky. Then the wind died away and the rain came streaming down. They trudged along as fast as they could, over patches of grass, and through thick drifts of old leaves, and all about them the rain pattered and trickled. [...] Frodo sprang to his feet. A long-drawn wail came on the wind, like the cry of some evil and lonely creature.
***
The gate opened and three huge dogs came pelting out into the lane, and dashed towards the travelers, barking fiercely. [...] The hobbits wrapped themselves up, but their ears were strained for any sound above the creak of the wheels and the slow clop of the ponies' hoofs.
an atmosphere of private misgivings and a deep regret for the best beer in the eastfarthing
