A WEE BIT OF FALLOHIDE

The Bolger clan were a practical lot. Prior to the establishment of Buckland, their land was closest to the Brandywine, and the Shire's first line of defence against invaders from the east. Their ancestry included Fallohide blood, so they were supposed to be taller, fairer and bolder than other clans.

Fredegar considered that bold Fallohide blood rather dilute in his case. Not for him, the dangerous trek across Eriador, pursued by Black Riders. Then Fredegar Bolger surprised himself. When faced with danger he ran, but not before bravely raising the alarm. Perhaps he was a wee bit Fallohidish after all.

He dug deep and found that boldness

[grundyscribbling]

*stands up to applaud Fredegar*
Fallohidish indeed!

[elwendell]

Yes. He deserves applause. He was scared to death, but he stood strong.

[shirebound]

Hooray for Fredegar! I hope the Shire's respect for him grew after his frantic run.

[elwendell]

I'm certain it did.

[lindahoyland]

You capture him perfectly.

[elwendell]

He doesn't get enough credit.

[hhimring]

It was extremely sensible to run, but also brave to raise the alarm!

[elwendell]

Exactly. I believe all hobbits are stronger than they think.
