Frodo sat in the rocking-chair overlooking the back garden, starshine on his face and Elanor asleep in his arms. Hair like tufted mithril, little face peaceful and bright, she smiled, and he wondered what a baby might dream. His own dreams once held babies, like Elanor but dark-curled, held a fair bookish wife to love him and bear them; there had always been time to find a spouse tomorrow, till all time was past and his dreams sounded with the voice of the Sea. But in this moment Elanor lay in his arms, the stars singing in her sleep.
