'I am simply at my wit's end! Nothing we have done has appeased the Old Took's ghost. I can think of nothing else to do. I will never have my library back. What to do, what to do....

'Wait... no, it's too terrible to ask! But I must have my library back. You have done so much for me already, but could I ask you to muster up your courage and face the Old Took's ghost yourself?

'With great caution, enter my library and perhaps -- since you have done so much to try and appease him -- the Old Took will grant you an audience. His presence seems to be strongest in the far corner of the room, by my small book-shelf. Do please be careful!'

Adelard Took is outside the library in the Great Smials.

In confronting the \qghost\q in Adelard Took's library, you discovered that it was nothing more than a squirrel hiding behind the book-case. You should tell Adelard that it is safe to return to his library.
