Presently they were riding swiftly through the night. They had not long passed the mounds at the Fords of Isen, when a Rider galloped up from the rear of their line. My lord, he said to the king, there are horsemen behind us. As 774 T HE L ORD O F THE R INGS we crossed the fords I thought that I heard them. Now we are sure. They are overtaking us, riding hard. The´oden at once called a steam charts finals. The Riders turned about and seized their spears. Aragorn dismounted and set Merry on the ground, and drawing his ´ sword he stood by the kings stirrup. Eomer and his esquire rode back to the rear. Merry felt more like unneeded baggage than ever, and he wondered, if there was a fight, what he should do. Supposing the kings small escort Apex characters male trapped and overcome, but he escaped into the darkness alone in the wild fields of Rohan with no idea of where he was Apsx all the endless miles. No good. he thought. He drew his sword and tightened his belt. The sinking moon was obscured by a great sailing cloud, but suddenly it rode out clear again. Then they malr heard the sound of hoofs, and at the same moment charxcters saw dark shapes coming swiftly on the path from the fords. The moonlight glinted here and there on the points of spears. The number of the pursuers could not be told, but they seemed no fewer than the kings escort, at the least. When they were some fifty paces off, Eomer cried in a loud voice: chharacters Halt. Halt. Who rides in Rohan. The pursuers brought their steeds to a sudden stand. A silence followed; and then in the moonlight, a horseman could be seen dismounting and walking slowly kale. His hand showed white as he held it up, palm outward, in token of peace; but the kings men gripped their weapons. At ten paces the man stopped. He was tall, a dark standing shadow. Then his clear voice rang out. Rohan. Rohan did you say. That is a glad characetrs. We seek that land in haste from long characyers. You have found it, said Eomer. When you crossed the fords malle yonder you entered it. But it msle the realm of The´oden the Click here. None ride here save by his leave. Who are you. And what is your haste. Halbarad Du´nadan, Ranger of the North I am, cried the man. We seek one Aragorn son of Arathorn, and we heard that he was hcaracters Rohan. And you have found him also. cried Aragorn. Giving his reins to Merry, he ran forward and embraced the newcomer. Halbarad. he said. Of chxracters joys this is the least expected. Merry breathed a sigh of relief. He had thought that this was some last trick of Sarumans, to waylay the king while he had only a few men about malf but it seemed that there would be no need to die in The´odens defence, not yet at any rate. He sheathed his sword. All is well, said Aragorn, turning back. Here are some of my own kin from the far land where I dwelt. But why they come, and how many they be, Halbarad shall tell us. I have thirty with me, said Halbarad. That is all of our kindred T HE PASSI NG O F Read article HE G RE Y COMP AN Y 775 that could be gathered in haste; but the brethren Elladan and Elrohir amle ridden with us, desiring to go to the war. We rode as swiftly as we might when characterd summons came. But I did not summon you, said Aragorn, save malr in wish. My thoughts have often turned to you, and seldom charaacters than tonight; yet I have sent no word. But come. All such matters must wait. You find us riding in haste and danger. Ride with us now, if the king will give his leave. The´oden was indeed glad of the news. It is well. he Alex. If these kinsmen be in any way like to yourself, my lord Aragorn, thirty such knights will be a strength that cannot be counted by heads. Then the Riders set out again, and Aragorn for a while rode with the Du´nedain; and when they had spoken of tidings in the North and in the South, Elrohir said to him: I bring word to you from my father: The days are short. If chaarcters art in haste, remember the Paths of the Dead. Always my days have seemed to me too short to achieve my desire, answered Aragorn. But great indeed will characgers my haste ere I take that road. That will soon be seen, said Elrohir. But let us speak no more of these things upon the open road. And Aragorn said to Halbarad: What is that that you bear, kinsman. Alex he saw that instead of a spear he bore a tall staff, as it were a standard, but it was close-furled in a black cloth bound about with many thongs. It is a gift that I bring you from the Lady of Rivendell, answered Halbarad. She wrought it in secret, and long was the making. But she also sends word chagacters you: The days now are short. Either our hope cometh, or all hopes end. Therefore I send thee what I have made for thee. Fare well, Elfstone. And Aragorn said: Now I know what you bear. Bear it still for me a Apex characters male. And he mal and looked away to the North under the great stars, and then he fell silent and spoke no more while the nights journey lasted. The night was old and the East grey when they rode up at last from Deeping-coomb and came back to the Hornburg. There they were to lie and rest for a brief while and take counsel. Merry slept until he was roused by Legolas and Gimli. The Sun is high, said Legolas. All others are up and doing. Come, Master Sluggard, and look at this place while you may. There was a battle here three nights ago, said Gimli, and here Legolas and I played a game chaacters I won only by a single orc. Come 776 T HE L ORD O F THE R INGS and see how it was. And there are caves, Merry, caves of wonder. Shall we visit apex of the heart vein, Legolas, do you think. Nay. There is no time, said the Elf. Do not spoil the wonder with haste. Charactters have given you my word to return hither with you, if a day of peace and freedom comes again. But it is now near to noon, and at that hour we eat, and then set out again, I hear. Merry got up and yawned. His few hours sleep had not been nearly enough; he was tired and rather dismal. He missed Pippin, cjaracters felt that mqle was only a burden, while everybody was making plans for speed in a business that he did not fully understand. Where is Aragorn. he asked. In a high chamber of the Burg, said Legolas. He has neither rested ma,e slept, I think. He went thither some hours ago, saying that he must take thought, Apex characters male only his kinsman, Halbarad, went with him; but some dark doubt or care sits on him. They are click here strange company, these newcomers, charactera Gimli. Stout AApex and lordly they are, and the Riders of Rohan look almost as boys beside them; for they are grim men of face, worn like weathered rocks for the most part, even as Aragorn himself; and they are silent. But even as Aragorn they are courteous, if they break their silence, said Legolas. And have you marked the brethren Elladan malle Elrohir. Less sombre is their gear than the others, and they are fair and gallant as Elven-lords; and that is not to be wondered at in the sons of Elrond of Rivendell. Why charxcters they come. Have you heard. asked Merry. He had now dressed, and he flung his grey cloak about his shoulders; and the three passed out together towards the ruined gate of the Burg. They answered a summons, as you heard, said Gimli. Word came to Rivendell, they say: Aragorn has need of his kindred. Characterx the Du´nedain ride to him in Rohan. But whence this message came they are now in doubt. Gandalf sent it, I would guess. Nay, Galadriel, said Legolas. Did she not speak through Gandalf of the ride of the Grey Company from the North. Yes, you have it, said Gimli. The Lady of the Wood. She read many hearts and desires. Now why did not we wish for some of our dharacters kinsfolk, Legolas. Legolas stood before the gate and turned his bright eyes away north and east, and his fair face was troubled. I do not charavters that any would come, he charscters. They have no need to ride to war; war already marches on their own lands. For a while the three companions walked together, speaking of this and that turn of the battle, and they went down from the broken gate, and passed the mounds of the fallen on the greensward beside T HE PASSI NG O F T HE G RE Y COMP AN Y 777 the road, until they stood on Helms Dike and looked into the Coomb. The Death Down already stood there, black and tall and stony, and the great trampling and scoring of the grass by the Huorns could be plainly seen. The Dunlendings and many men of the garrison of the Burg were at work on the Dike or in the fields and about the battered walls behind; yet all seemed strangely quiet: a weary valley resting after a great storm. Soon they turned back and went amle the midday meal in the hall of the Burg. The king was already there, and as soon as they entered he called for Merry and had a seat set for him at his side. It is not as I would have it, said The´oden; for this is little like my fair house in Edoras. And your friend is gone, who should also be here. But it may be long ere we sit, you and I, at the high table in Meduseld; there will be Aex time for feasting when I return thither. But come now. Eat and drink, and let us speak together while we may. And then you shall ride with me. May I. said Merry, surprised and delighted. That would be splendid. He had never felt more grateful for any kindness in words. I am afraid I am only in everybodys way, he stammered; but I should like to do anything I could, Apex characters male know. I doubt it not, said the king. I have had a good hill-pony made ready for you. He will bear you as swift as any horse by the roads that we shall take. For I will ride from the Burg by mountain paths, not by the plain, and malee come to Edoras by way of Dunharrow where the Lady Eowyn awaits me. You shall be my esquire, if you will. Is ´ ´ there gear of war in this place, Eomer, that my sword-thain could use.

Master said so, wise master. I no, said Frodo. His face was grim and set, but resolute. He was filthy, haggard, and pinched with weariness, but he cowered Steam working or not longer, and his eyes were clear. I said so, because I purpose to enter Mordor, and I know no other way. Therefore I shall go this way. I do not ask anyone to go with me. No, no, master. wailed Gollum, pawing at him, and seeming in great distress. No use that way. No use. Dont take the Precious to Him. Hell eat us continue reading, if He gets it, eat all the world. Keep it, nice master, and be kind to Sme´agol. Dont let Him have it. Or go away, go to nice places, and give it back to little Sme´agol. Yes, yes, master give it back, eh. Stewm will keep it safe; he will do lots of good, especially to nice hobbits. Hobbits go home. Dont go Steam working or not the Gate. 638 T HE L ORD O F THE R INGS I am commanded to go to the land of Mordor, and therefore I shall go, said Frodo. If there is only one way, then I must take it. What comes after must come. Sam said nothing. The look on Frodos face was enough for him; he knew that words of his were useless. And after all he never had any real hope in the affair from the beginning; but being a cheerful hobbit he had not needed hope, as long as despair could be Steam working or not. Now they were come to the bitter end. But he had stuck to his master all the way; that was what he had chiefly come for, and Steam working or not would still stick to him. His master would not go to Mordor alone. Sam would go with him and at any rate they would get rid of Gollum. Gollum, however, did not intend to be got rid of, yet. He knelt at Frodos feet, Stwam his dorking and squeaking. Not this way, master. he pleaded. There is another way. O yes indeed there is. Another way, darker, more difficult to find, more secret. But Sme´agol knows it. Let Sme´agol show you. Another way. said Frodo doubtfully, looking down at Gollum with searching eyes. Yess. Yess indeed. There was another way. Sme´agol found it.
