It is winter in Salinas Valley, California. The sun is not shining, and fog covers the valley. On Henry Allen’s foothill ranch, the hay cutting and storing has been finished, and the orchards are waiting for rain. Elisa Allen, Henry’s wife, is working in her flower garden and sees her husband speaking with two cigarette-smoking strangers. Elisa is thirty-five years old, attractive and clear-eyed, although at the moment she is clad in a masculine gardening outfit with men’s shoes and a man’s hat. Her apron covers her dress, and gloves cover her hands. As she works away at her chrysanthemums, she steals occasional glances at the strange men. Her house, which stands nearby, is very clean.

One of the themes is that the author want his readers to know that there is more to life then we can see, or that a building/ strengthening a friendship is worth more than any treasure. Another one is like don't judge a book by its cover in this case the author is trying to point out when gandalf said that biblo is more than what meets the eye and thorin and co. underestimated him. Until he found the ring. Sorry if this is spoiling the book to anyone. Hope this helps! Have a great day!
