In Arda
- T.A. 3018:
- After the departure of the Elves, Khamûl resumes his search for the Ring.[1]
- The hobbits have breakfast with bread, fruit and drinks the High Elves left for them. Frodo decides to continue to Bucklebury by cutting through Green Hill Country and the Marish.[2]
- They are blocked by the Stock-brook, until they see a Black Rider for a third time, behind them; they are forced to dive into the bushes by the bank and continue their way along it.[2]
- They wade the stream and run into a wood; rain falls over the Marish. At mid-day they have a lunch beside a sheltered elm.[2]
- Unable to find Frodo, Khamûl summons another Nazgûl from Dol Guldur.[1] The two evil cries disturb the hobbits who are resting.[2]
- The two Ringwraiths go eastwards. Khamûl[1] interrogates Farmer Maggot about "Baggins", but he doesn't cooperate.[2] Khamûl sends his companion towards the Overbourn Marshes while himself goes towards the Brandywine Bridge.[1]
- Leaving the wood, the hobbits see that they have turned too much to the south; adjusting their course to the Bucklebury Ferry, they reach a turnip field outside Maggot's estates in the afternoon.[2]
- After a dinner, Maggot takes the hobbits with his waggon to the Ferry. They meet Merry looking for them.[2] Khamûl also arrives at the Bucklebury Ferry but too late.[1]
- They reach Crickhollow in the night. Frodo reveals them his plans but they are already known. In the night he dreams about the trees of the Old Forest.[3]
- Gandalf hurries towards The Shire on Shadowfax.
- Boromir travels towards Rivendell to ask for counsel.
