Oats
All through the winter Grandmother had cautioned against eating what needed to be sown; yet it was still precious little and Osred would need to scatter it with care.
Then the riders came, bearing barley and oats, just as the ground was ready.
“From our future queen’s dowry,” said one.
Grandmother looked sad. “Éomer King sold himself for these? I hope they grow well, for it was a hard bargain.”
“Sold himself, aye… but not sacrificed,” the rider answered and he winked. “Princess Lothiriel would certainly make me happy enough to stay at home and no longer sow wild oats!”
