“How did you get into the shed on the wharf?”
“Well, I had to monkey with the locks a bit, but with the use of that bent fork in the keyhole I managed to get it open. But then the Guards came by, so I made a show of playing my violin--the captain, he threw two coppers into my hat! Thought I was really busking!”
Laughter. “You really fooled him, did you?”
“Had no more idea who I really was than the Man in the Moon!”
More laughter. “What are you going to do when Father finds out you are the one who broke into Uncle Imrahil’s boat shed?”
“Well, I was only returning that coil of rope and lantern we borrowed from it before he left. I hid it under the extra main sheet.”
“Well, Faramir, I suppose I owe you a bottle!”
“That you do, brother mine!”
