The Lord of the Rings – Merry and Estella
It was a cool autumn evening when Estella Bolger arrived
at Brandy Hall. As she walked up to one of the side doors, she listened to the
Brandywine as it flowed past one of Buckleberry’s many docks. There were many
sounds a skilled hobbit could pick out. Mostly wind in the trees and many birds
and insects singing. She listened for a few seconds more then knocked on the
door.
It was opened by one of the younger Brandybucks. “Hi,
Estella,” he said. “Merry is waiting in the North Hall.”
“Thanks,” Estella said.
Estella always found getting through Brandy Hall difficult,
what with the large number of Brandybucks going to and fro through the hallways,
which branched this way in that in unpredictable ways. It was like the Brandybucks
didn’t plan out the expansion of the Smial. However, she remembered the way to
the North Hall and entered less than 5 minutes after she was let in.
“Hi, Estella,” Merry said.
