Chapter XI:  A Knife in the Dark
 
A remote hobbit hole - presumably Crickhollow
 
As they prepared for sleep in the inn at Bree, darkness lay
on Buckland;  a mist strayed in the dells and along the
riverbank.  The house at Crickhollow stood silent.

The Midgewater Marshes

'I am being eaten alive!' cried Pippin.
'Midgewater!   There are more
midges than water!'

'What do they live on when they can't get
hobbit?' asked Sam, scratching his neck.

Lightning at Weathertop
 
    As Frodo lay, tired but unable to close his eyes, it seemed to
    him that far away there came a light in the eastern sky;
    it flashed and faded many times.  It was not the dawn,
    for that was still some hours off.

    'What is that light?' he said to Strider, who had risen,
    and was standing, gazing ahead into the night.

    'I do not know,' Strider answered.  'It is too distant to make
    out.  It is like lightning that leaps up from the hill-tops.'
