Ferny will learn a hard lesson if he tries to reclaim Bill!

All that remains now is to take up residence in the stable at The Prancing Pony, and Bill will be well-cared for until the hobbits and Gandalf return.

"He cannot harm you any longer. You have outgrown him and his ways, and he has no place in your life." Sounds exactly like something Gandalf would say.

I needn't have worried about what would happen if Bill ever ran into his "old misery" again. Should have seen that coming. What a triumph for the once "only a pony." Greatheart indeed!

I notice that I am no longer pressed against the Ranger's leg – or against his horse's side – but I am trotting freely alongside, matching the horse's strides as we go, my head and tail held high. Not only that, but I have every confidence that even should my old misery sneak into the inn's stables at night to try and steal me away, he will be no match for me – for what I have become.

What a triumphant moment and realization, after this long, dreadful journey. I'm so happy for Bill.
