Before turning back, Pippin cast one last look across the Shire's borders. Lake Evendim glittered in the evening distance; closer and darker, three Men limped away into the Dim Hills, driven like all the other Ruffians from the land they'd violated for too long.

On the other side of Pippin, towards the greener hills, the lads bound each other's wounds and set up camp under Merry's direction. Growing more cunning sortie by sortie, their bounders had lost no one this fight, with only one lad too hurt to walk. Pippin turned to them, and to distant Long Cleeve beyond, and smiled.
