Gandalf's wisdom.
"We should make haste to leave," Gandalf said at length.
"You have wandered a bit south, following the trail of... not bandits.
And it would ill behoove us to be in these lands at night.
I will go with you for a while, as my path now takes me in your direction."
As the adventurers left the barrow and scattered the treasure of Hir Rusark, Gandalf let out a long shrill whistle.
Just as they start to wonder, the whistle was answered.
In a few minutes, a beautiful white horse galloped up to Gandalf and greeted him.
Only moments behind this horse came the mule of the adventurers !
She even bore their gear faithfully.
Gandalf commented: "The mule seems to have more sense than her masters.
She ran abroad in the warm air of the open downs rather than enter the cold barrow of a Wight as we did.
But come, the glad greetings over we must move onward."
