Meanwhile, hidden in the treetops above the gathered mooters, Willow dons a deerstalker hat and whips out a violin. A case such as this must be properly pondered.
Soon strains of Faded Love mixed with speculative murmurs float down from the canopy. "A shaven Ent... a demand for more posts... a classic kidnap for ransom to be certain. Suspects: A younger, hastier ent, and two personifications - one winter, one spring. But the motivation! What need has Santa for a beard of moss and lichen? What desire the Bunny for more posts? And what could drive Quickbeam, who though hasty, has ever been good, to turn on his elder? Find the motive and we shall find the true kidnapper - and with it The Beard!" ... "Shave an' a haircut - two bits."
