Chapter 1 - Rash Decisions

Diamond tucked herself deeper into the shadows.  Before her, amidst a bevy of Great Smials’ ladies sat her latest wedding guest, and the source of her despair.  Estella Brandybuck, proving true all tales, was all that Diamond was not:  cheerful, gracious and radiant with obvious fruitfulness.  The tall huntress gazed down at her dusty feet and trousers.  She would never make a proper wife for the next Thain.  For all the love he might bear her now, bitterness would eclipse it entirely when disdain for her dragged him down, and Pippin had such dreams.  She would not make this mistake.
