CREDENCE

Frodo Baggins was moving to Crickhollow. Most approved of his intention to return to relations in Buckland. Less charitable folk were happy for him to take his strange ways back to where they were more acceptable.

The occupants of Bagshot Row had mixed feelings; sad to lose a good landlord, but very happy to be gifted the deeds to their smials. Nobody wanted the Sackville-Baggins' as landlords.

Quieter rumour murmured the move was a ruse; that Mr Baggins intended to follow his mad uncle into the wilds. Nobody gave that thought much credence. Who would wish to leave the Shire?
