‘Who ever heard of marrying a bear? It's unheard of!’ they said.
‘Hardly unheard of!’ she answered. ‘After all, Beorn, too, had a mother.’
And so, once again, she went to meet him at the Carrock early of an evening and, after a while, she followed him all the way across his bee-pastures to his wide wooden halls.
‘What's he like then, bare under his bear-skin?’ they asked, when she came visiting, bearing a pot of the best honey they had ever eaten as a guest gift.
But she, unfazed, tossed her braids and laughed.
‘Wouldn't you like to know!’
