BAGGINS MADNESS

“Good morning, Mister Gamgee.”

The Gaffer visibly jumped, and Frodo bit back a giggle, watching him cast about in alarm. “Who's there?”

“Up here.” Frodo parted the branches to grin down.

“Gandalf's beard! Thought I was hearin' ghosts. What you doin' up there? You got a death wish? You're like to fall.”

Now Frodo laughed in earnest. “Sorry. I can see for miles from up here.”

Hamfast shook his finger. “Mayhap. But climbin' trees ain't proper for a hobbit. And that's a fact!” He stomped away, muttering under his breath. “Scarin' good, honest folk. Tis Baggins madness.”

It's fun trying to find alternative phrases like that.

A nice, cheerful scene!
Despite the sombre prompt.
