PRECIOUS LIFE
The influenza epidemic of 1394 would ever remain in Frodo's memory. It was no Great Plague, such as the Shire's first generation had seen, but it carried off many an elderly matron and one or two unfortunate bairns.
Some said that the death of bairns was worst, that the old folk had seen their fair share of life. Frodo could not agree. He and Bartimus had, for some days, been the only lads fit and willing enough to bury both young and old, and his heart had broken with each grave dug. All life, whether long or short, was precious.
