2. A short cut to mushrooms (p.84) • In the morning Frodo woke refreshed. • There was no sign of the Elves. (→ The Elves were not there but they left some food for the hobbits.) • “What is the plan for today?” asked Pippin. - “ To walk to Bucklebury as quickly as possible.” answered Frodo. (→ their first destination : Bucklebury.)

3. A short cut to mushrooms (p.84) • “Do you think we shall see anything of those Riders?” asked Pippin cheerfully. • Under the morning sun the prospect of seeing a whole troop of them did not seem very alarming to him. (→ Pippin’s personality : optimistic, bright.)

4. A short cut to mushrooms (p.84) • Pippin : “Did you find out anything about them from Gildor?” “Did you ask about the sniffing?” .. (→ Pippin keepsasking about ‘Black Rides’.) • “Not much – only hints and riddles,” said Frodo evasively. ( → not willing to give clear answers to Pippin’s question.)

5. A short cut to mushrooms (p.84) • ~ not liking the reminder. • From Frodo’s mind the bright morning - treacherously bright, he thought – had not banished the fear of pursuit; (→ Fordo has a fear in his mind.) • The merry voice of Pippin came to him. He was running on the turf and singing.

6. A short cut to mushrooms (p.85) • “No! I could not!” he(Frodo) said to himself. ~ To take them into exile, where hunger and weariness may have no cure, is quite another. ~ The inheritance is mine alone. (→ Frodo decided to go on his way alone. Because it would be very dangerous and even they couldn’t come back to Shire.)

7. A short cut to mushrooms (p.85) • “If you don’t come back, sir, then I shan’t, that’s certain,” said Sam. • “I am going with him, if he climbs to the Moon, And if any of those Black Riders try to stop him, they’ll have Sam Gamgee to reckon with, I said. They laughed.” (→ Sam’s personality : Faithful)

8. A short cut to mushrooms (p.85) • Frodo : “Who are they, and what are you talking about?” • Sam : “The Elves, sir. We had some talk last night;~ Wonderful folk, Elves, sir! Wonderful!” ~ They are quite different from what I expected - so old and young, and so gay and sad, as it were. (→ explanation about the Elves.)

9. A short cut to mushrooms (p.85) • “ ~ after last night I feel different.” • “I don’t rightly know what I want : but I have something to do before the end, and it lies ahead, nor in the Shire. I must see it through, sir, if you understand me.” (→ Sam accepted this situation as his destiny./ Frodo decided to go on with his faithful companion, Sam.)

10. A short cut to mushrooms (p.86) • Frodo : “ And I am going to make for Bucklebury Ferry as quickly as Possible. I am not going out of the way, back to the road we left last night: I am going to cut straight across country from here.” • Pippin : “The country is rough round here,~ And if you are worrying about Black Riders, I can’t see that it is any worse meeting them on a road than in a wood or a field.”

11. A short cut to mushrooms (p.86) • Frodo : “It is less easy to find people in the woods and fields, and if you are supposed to be on the road, there is some chance that you will looked for on the road and not off it.” (→ Frodo and Pippin are arguing about which way they choose.) • “All right!” said Pippin. (finally decided.)

12. A short cut to mushrooms (p.87) • Sam Gamgee looked back. “Look!” he said, clutching Frodo by the arm. They all looked, and on the edge high above them they saw against the sky a horse standing. Beside it stooped a black figure. (→ Black Riders are chasing them.)

13. A short cut to mushrooms (p.87) • (They hide into the bushes.) • Frodo : “You’ve got sharp ears, Sam: can you hear anything coming?” • ~ but there was no sound of pursuit. • Sam : “ I don’t fancy he would try bringing his horse down that bank, but I guess he knows we came down it. We had better be going on.”

14. A short cut to mushrooms (p.87) • Going on was not altogether easy. They had packs to carry, and the bushes and brambles were reluctant to let them through. • ~ and they were also no longer certain of the direction in which they were going. • Pippin : “If we are going to try and get back on to our course, we must cross(the stream) at once and bear right.”

15. A short cut to mushrooms (p.88) • They did not talk, but kept glancing back, and from side to side. (→ beware of the Black Rides.) • Pippin : “I hope we have not turned too much towards the south, ~ and we ought to have been through it by now.” • Frodo : “Let us keep on as we are going! I am not sure that I want to come out into the open yet.” (→ Frodo still doesn’t want to go through the road.)

16. A short cut to mushrooms (p.88) • They went on for perhaps another couple of miles. • They halted under the elm tree. (and they had their lunch.) • Very soon they were laughing, and snapping their fingers at rain, and at Black Riders. • Sam and Pippin began to sing a song.(cheerful)

17. A short cut to mushrooms (p.88) • They stopped short suddenly. Fordo sprang to his feet. A long-drawn wail came down the wind, like the cry of some evil and lonely creature. It rose and fell, and ended on a high piercing note. (→ The sound of Black Riders. They are keep searching for the hobbits.)

18. A short cut to mushrooms (p.89) • Frodo : “It was a call, or a signal – there were words in that cry, though I could not catch them.” • They were all thinking of the Riders, but no one spoke of them. They were now reluctant either to stay or go on; but sooner or later they had got to get across the open country to the Ferry, and it was best to go sooner and in daylight.

19. A short cut to mushrooms (p.89) • They now saw that they had, in fact, turned too much to the south. • Far back behind them stood the high place where they had breakfasted.

(→ They reached Farmer Maggot’s house.) • (→ Pippin said hello to Mr. Maggot and introduced Frodo and Sam to him.) • (→ And Sam doesn’t like Mr. Maggot that much. Because hehad a natural mistrust of the inhabitants of other parts of the Shire.)

24. A short cut to mushrooms (p.90) • Maggot: “There are some funny things going on today. Of course, we do get queer folk wandering in these parts at times.~ But this fellow was the most outlandish.” • Pippin: “What fellow do you mean?” • Maggot: “Then you haven’t seen him? He went upthe lane towards the causeway not a long while back. He was a funny customer and asking funny questions.

25. A short cut to mushrooms (p.91) • Maggot : “Well, if that isn’t queerer than ever? Mr. Baggins is it? Come inside! We must have a talk.” (→ Maggot was surprised when he heard Frodo’s name.) • “I had just heard the name Baggins before you turned up. What do you think that funny customer asked me?” (→ Someone, who was seeking Frodo Baggins, had dropped in Maggot’s house.)

A short cut to mushrooms (p.91) • (→ Mr. Maggot tells Frodo about Black Riders in detail.) • Maggot : “ He came riding on a big black horse in at the gate, which happened to be open, and right up to my door. All black he was himself, too, and cloaked and hooded up, as if he did not want to be known.”

27. A short cut to mushrooms (p.92) • Stranger(to Maggot) : “I came from yonder. Have you seen Baggins?” • Maggot (to Frodo): “He asked in a queer voice, and bent down towards me. I could not see any face, for his hood fell down so low; and l felt a sort of shiver down my back.” (→The stranger was a very uncomfortable being. And Mr. Maggot didn’t tell Frodo’s whereabouts.)

28. A short cut to mushrooms (p.92) • Stranger(to Maggot) : “He is coming. He is not far away. I wish to find him.” (→ It seems like one of the Black Riders is looking for Frodo.) • Maggot : (to Frodo) “He gave a sort of hiss. It might have been laughing, and it might not. Then he spurred his great horse right at me, and I jumped out of the way only just in time.”

29. A short cut to mushrooms (p.92) • Frodo sat for a moment looking at the fire, but his only thought was how on earth would they reach the Ferry. (→ Frodo wants to escape that place as soon as possible.) • Sam stirred in his chair, and looked at the farmer with an unfriendly eye. (→ He still doesn’t like Maggot.)

30. A short cut to mushrooms (p.93) • Maggot : “Mark my words, this all comes of those strange doings of Mr. Bilbo’s. ~ My advice is: stay there! And don’t get mixed up with these outlandish folk. ~ And that might be true enough; for as like as not it is old Mr. Bilbo they want news of.” (→ Maggot gives some advice to Frodo. And he thinks this situation is all because of Bilbo’s suspicious behavior.)

33. A short cut to mushrooms (p.94) • Farmer Maggot drew in his ponies and the waggon creaked to a halt. ~ suddenly they heard what they had all been dreading: hoofs on the road ahead. The sound was coming towards them. • Clip-clop, clip-clop came the approaching rider. (→ the sound of hooves of a horse.)

34. A short cut to mushrooms (p.94) • When they had finished, the farmer and his sons went out with a lantern and got the waggon ready. (→ Frodo and his party leave for Ferry.) • It was five miles or more from Maggot’s lane to the Ferry. • They reached the entrance to the Ferry lane at last.
