A Speedy Errand  

'Hello again! The spring weather is pleased, rain or shine, is it not? I see that you are still looking at the hedges of the maze yonder. Do you wish to challenge your own best time? That is an admirable goal; I do not think you are yet ready to challenge mine.

'I think a good compromise will be your running of the maze within twice the amount of time I was able to achieve on my best day. Ten minutes should do the trick. My five-minutes record is not to be outdone, of course. I am willing to offer a fairer prize on this challenge.

'Don't forget to shout if you gte lost and need me to come looking! I'll not think less of you --- some people get mighty lost in such a confusion of ways. But I'm afraid that you may miss the scenery and smells if you are able to carry on at a pace that will get you out so quick as this challenge demands.'

Gil Plover, the Maze-master of Bree, has challenged you to get through the maze before the time runs out. You mustn't tarry long within the hedge-walls!
