Rating: G
Tolman was beating the bounds when one of the Big Folk came striding up the south road. Alone and on foot but armed with a sword.
Tolman drew his bow and nocked an arrow. “Just turn around, master, and go back to wherever you come from."
“Are you a Halfling?” the Outsider asked, eyes wide with amazement.
“Hobbit, if you please, master,” Tolman replied, aiming the arrow at his heart.
“I seek Elrond Half-elven, lord of Imladris.”
“Well, he isn't here. There ain't no elves, half or otherwise, in the Shire. And no Men neither, if you take my meaning.”

Note:
"'...long have I wandered by roads forgotten, seeking the house of Elrond, of which many had heard, but few knew where it lay.'"
