Disclaimer: Not my hobbits but i love them, and borrow them from time to time.

The humidity brought on dampness; soon rain was imminent.  Thunder pounded and lightning zig zagged in front of them. Rain was unceasing, dampening spirits of a smooth homecoming.

The hobbits welcomed the change, for the stifling heat made them quite uncomfortable as they kept riding north towards Rivendell and home.

But the rain did not bring solace especially with the surprising encounter with Saruman.

The dampness of the air after the pouring rain only gave slight comfort. It felt suffocating.

Frodo’s heartbeat matched the constant pitter-patter of the rain. The uneasiness that Saruman’s words spoke kept gnawing at his conscience.

Poor Frodo! The idea of something nasty waiting for them at home must have been gnawing on all of them. Nicely done.

You can feel that combination of physical discomfort and inner uneasiness.

Thank so much! i'm glad this worked. The hobbits returning to Rivendell and homeward bound did coincide with August- September time and thunderstorms tend to happen at that time since so humid so i naturally thought of this timeframe.
