Wilmac Brandybuck, Maggot's farmhand, sent you to Brandy Hall to speak with Saradoc Brandybuck, and the Master of Brandy Hall warned you of Rollo and Doderic's musings.
'Those boys -- my nephew Doderic and Maggot's boy Rollo -- might have gone off into the Old Forest. They are probably poking around and getting into all manner of trouble, if I know those boys!
'You might be able to find them at Bald Hill, which lies east of the Bonfire Glade.'1/1

'Uncle Saradoc is waiting for me? That bodes ill. I wish Rollo would hurry along. I cannot leave until he returns. We were chasing a brigand through here -- we saw him sneaking about the gate and thought we'd best do the Bounders' job for them.
'I confess that I lost my nerve as we crested this hill, and I saw the full scope of the Forest. Rollo is a different sort though, always comfortable to wander through these winding trails.
'There is an abandoned cottage along the Withywindle, south-east of here. He made mention of heading that way, but that seems like hours ago. Perhaps you could find him there and tell him to hurry on back?'1/1

'He... he tried to kill me! \qI'll gut you like a fish, and then your girl,\q he said, \qOr I'll make certain you never see your lovely again.\q I didn't mean for this to happen! But he threatened Celandine. I couldn't let him hurt her, could I? All I wanted was to get the notes I wrote for Celandine from him.
'You can't treat people like that. Good, honest hobbits, we are... didn't want to hurt nobody. I'm going to stay here and give him an honest burial at least. Could you tell Doderic that I'm all right? But please... don't tell him about any of this, will you? Could you take these too... show them to Doderic, he'll understand.
'I just... this doesn't feel the way I thought it would.'1/1

'So glad to know that Rollo is all right! That's such a relief!
'What is this? Maggot's notes to Celandine, and there are some references here that make it seem....
'No wonder he wanted to recover these from that Man. Here, take them on to Celandine. She should see what Rollo thinks of her.'1/1

'You found him! He's coming back soon, and I can finish all I set out to do.
'For that, you deserve something. It may not be much, I fear. But here, please take it, if it is of use to you. You have no idea how much you have helped me.'1/1
