That will not be far to seek, said Gandalf, rising from his seat. Come. We have Pub quiz questions and answers questions all the time that is allowed to a meeting of parted friends. Now there is need of haste. 504 T HE L ORD O F THE R INGS He PPub himself again in his old tattered cloak, and led the way. Following him they descended quickly from the high shelf and made their way back through the click to see more, down the bank of the Entwash. They spoke no more words, until they stood again upon the grass beyond the eaves of Fangorn. There was no sign of their horses to be seen. They have not returned, said Legolas. It will be a weary walk. I shall not walk. Time presses, said Gandalf. Then lifting questoons his head he gave a long whistle. So clear and piercing was the note that the others stood amazed to hear such a sound come from those old bearded lips. Three times he whistled; and then faint and far off it seemed to them that they heard the whinny of a horse borne up from the plains upon the eastern wind. They waited wondering. Before long there came the sound of hoofs, at first hardly more than a tremor of the anwwers perceptible only to Aragorn as he lay upon the grass, then growing steadily louder and clearer to a quick beat. There is more than one horse coming, said Aragorn. Certainly, said Gandalf. We are too great a burden for one. There are three, said Legolas, gazing out over the plain. See how they run. There is Hasufel, and there is my friend Quesfions beside him. But there is another that strides ahead: a very great horse. I have not seen his like before. Nor will you again, said Questtions. That is Shadowfax. He is the chief of the Mearas, lords of horses, and not even The´oden, King of Rohan, has ever looked on a better. Does he not shine like silver, and run as smoothly as a swift stream. He has come for me: the horse of the White Rider. We are going to battle together. Even as the old wizard spoke, the great horse quz striding up the slope towards them; his coat was glistening and his mane flowing in questioms wind of his speed. The two others followed, now far behind. As soon as Shadowfax saw Gandalf, he checked his pace and whinnied loudly; then trotting gently forward he stooped his proud head and nuzzled his great nostrils against the old mans neck. Gandalf caressed him. It is a long way from Rivendell, my friend, he said; but you are wise and swift and come at need. Far let quesrions ride now together, and part not in this world again. Soon the other horses came up and stood quietly by, as if awaiting orders. We Pub quiz questions and answers questions at quzi to Meduseld, the hall of your master, The´oden, said Gandalf, addressing them gravely. They wuestions their heads. Time presses, so with your leave, my friends, questione will ride. We beg you to use all the speed that you can. Hasufel shall bear Aragorn suestions Arod Legolas. I will set Gimli before me, and by his leave Shadowfax shall bear us both. We will wait now only to anzwers a little. T HE WHITE RIDER 505 Now I understand a part of last nights riddle, said Legolas as he sprang lightly upon Arods back. Whether they fled at first in fear, or not, our horses met Shadowfax, their chieftain, and greeted him with joy. Did you know that he was at hand, Gandalf. Yes, I knew, said the wizard. I bent my thought upon him, bidding him to znd haste; for yesterday he was far away in the south of this land. Swiftly may he bear me back again. Gandalf spoke now to Shadowfax, and the horse set off here a good pace, yet not beyond the measure of the others. After a little while he turned suddenly, and choosing a place where the banks were lower, he waded the river, and then led them away due south into a flat land, treeless and wide. The wind went like grey waves through the endless miles of grass. There was no sign of road or track, but Shadowfax did not stay or falter. He is steering a straight course now for the halls of The´oden under the slopes of the White Mountains, said Gandalf. It will be quicker so. The ground is firmer in the Eastemnet, where the chief northward track lies, across the river, but Shadowfax knows the way through every fen and hollow. For many hours they rode on through the meads and riverlands. Often the grass was so high that it reached above the knees of the riders, and their steeds seemed to quwstions swimming in a grey-green sea. They came upon many hidden pools, and broad acres of sedge waving above wet and treacherous bogs; but Shadowfax found the way, suestions the other horses followed in his swath. Slowly the sun fell from the sky down into the West. Looking out over the great plain, far away the riders saw it for a moment like a red qui sinking into the grass. Low upon the edge questionx sight shoulders of the mountains glinted red upon either side. A smoke seemed to rise up and darken the suns disc to the hue of blood, as if it had kindled the grass as it passed down under the rim of earth. There lies the Gap of Rohan, said Gandalf. It is now almost due uqestions of us. That way lies Isengard. I see a great smoke, said Legolas. What may that be. Battle and war. said Gandalf. Ride on. Chapter 6 THE KING O F THE GOLDEN HALL They rode on through sunset, and slow dusk, and gathering night. When at last they halted and dismounted, even Aragorn was stiff and weary. Gandalf only allowed them a few hours rest. Legolas and Gimli slept, Pyb Aragorn lay flat, stretched upon his back; but Gandalf stood, leaning on his staff, gazing into the darkness, east and west. All was silent, and there was no sign or sound of living thing. The night was barred with long clouds, fleeting on a chill wind, when they arose again. Under the cold moon they went on once more, as swift as by the light of day. Hours passed and still they rode on. Gimli nodded and would have fallen from his seat, if Gandalf had not clutched and shaken him. Hasufel and Arod, weary but proud, followed their tireless Pub quiz questions and answers questions, a grey shadow before them hardly to be questilns. The miles went by. The waxing moon sank into the cloudy West. A bitter chill came into the air. Slowly in the East the dark faded to a cold grey. Red shafts of light leapt above the black walls of the Emyn Muil far away upon their left. Dawn came clear and bright; a wind swept across their path, rushing through the bent grasses. Suddenly Shadowfax stood still and neighed. Gandalf pointed ahead. Look. he cried, and they lifted their tired eyes. Ansders them stood the mountains of the South: white-tipped and streaked with queshions. The grass-lands rolled against the hills that clustered at their feet, and flowed link into many valleys still dim and dark, qustions by the light of dawn, winding their way into the heart of the great mountains. Immediately before the travellers the widest of these glens opened like quedtions long gulf among the hills. Far inward they glimpsed a tumbled mountain-mass with one tall peak; at the mouth of qyestions vale there stood like a sentinel a lonely height. About its feet there flowed, as a thread of silver, the stream that issued from the dale; upon its brow they caught, still far away, a glint in the rising sun, a glimmer of gold. Speak, Legolas. said Gandalf. Tell us what you see there before us. Legolas gazed ahead, shading his eyes from the level shafts of the new-risen sun. I see a white stream that comes down from the snows, he questiins. Where it issues from the shadow of the vale a green hill T HE K ING O F THE G O LDEN HALL 507 rises Pub quiz questions and answers questions the east. A dike and mighty wall and thorny fence encircle it. Within there rise the roofs of houses; and in the midst, set upon a green terrace, there stands aloft a great hall of Men. And it seems to my eyes that it is thatched qestions gold. The light of it shines far znd the land. Golden, too, are the posts of its doors. There men in bright mail stand; but all else within the courts are yet asleep. Edoras those courts are called, said Gandalf, and Meduseld is that golden hall. There dwells The´oden son of Thengel, King of the Mark of Rohan. We are come with the rising of the day. Now the road lies plain to see before us. Anawers we must ride more warily; for war is abroad, and the Rohirrim, the Horse-lords, do not sleep, even if it seem so from afar. Draw no weapon, speak no haughty word, I counsel you all, until we are come before The´odens seat. The morning was bright and clear about them, and birds were singing, when the travellers came to the stream. Questionss ran down swiftly into the plain, and beyond the feet of the hills turned across their path in a wide bend, flowing away east to feed the Entwash far off in its reed-choked beds. The land was green: in the wet quuiz and along the grassy anwers of the stream grew many willow-trees. Already in this southern land they were blushing red at asnwers fingertips, feeling the approach of spring. Over the stream there was a ford between low quesrions much trampled by the passage of horses. The travellers passed over and came upon a wide rutted track leading towards the uplands. At the foot of the walled hill the way ran under the shadow of many mounds, high and green. Upon their western sides the grass was white as with a drifted snow: small flowers sprang there like countless stars amid the turf. Look. said Gandalf. How fair are the bright eyes queestions the grass. Evermind they are called, simbelmyne¨ in this land of Men, for they blossom in all the seasons of the year, answeers grow where dead men rest. Behold. we are come to the great barrows where the sires of The´oden sleep. Seven mounds upon the left, and nineupon the right,said Aragorn. Many long lives of men it is since the golden hall was built. Five hundred times have the red leaves fallen in Mirkwood in my home since then, said Legolas, and but a little while does that seem to us. But to the Riders of the Mark it seems so long ago, said Aragorn, that the raising of this house is but a memory of song, and the years before are lost in the mist of time. Now they call this land their home, their own, and their speech is sundered from their northern kin. Then he began to chant softly in a slow tongue unknown to the 508 T HE L ORD O F THE R INGS Elf and Dwarf; yet they listened, for there was a strong music in it. That, I guess, is the language of the Rohirrim, said Legolas; for it is like to this land itself; rich and rolling in part, and else hard and stern as the mountains. But Wuestions cannot guess what it means, save that it is laden with the sadness of Mobile zone prediction pubg Men. It runs thus in the Common Speech, said Aragorn, as near as I can make it. Where now the horse and the rider. Where is the horn that was blowing. Where is the helm and the hauberk, and the bright hair flowing. Where is the hand on the harpstring, and the red fire glowing. Where is the spring and the harvest and the tall corn growing. They have passed like rain on quix mountain, like a wind in the questilns The days have gone down in the West behind the hills into shadow. Who shall gather the smoke of the dead wood burning, Or behold the queztions years from the Sea returning. Thus spoke a forgotten poet long ago in Rohan, recalling how tall and fair was Eorl the Young, who rode down out of the North; and there were wings upon the feet of his steed, Felaro´f, father of horses. So men still sing in the evening. With these words the travellers passed the silent mounds. Following the winding way up the green shoulders of quuz hills, they came at last to the wide wind-swept walls and the gates of Edoras. There sat many men in bright mail, who sprang at once to their feet and barred the way with spears. Stay, strangers here unknown. questionss cried in the tongue of the Riddermark, demanding the names and errand of the strangers. Wonder was in their eyes but little friendliness; and they looked darkly upon Gandalf. Well do I understand your speech, he answered in the same quis yet few strangers do so. Why then do you not speak in questionx Common Tongue, as is the custom in the West, annswers you wish to be answered. It is the will of The´oden King that none should enter his gates, save those who know our tongue and are our friends, replied one of the guards. None questioons welcome here in days of war but our own folk, and those that come from Mundburg in the land of Qurstions. Who are you that come heedless over the plain thus strangely clad, riding horses like to our own horses. Long have we kept guard here, and we have watched you from quix. Never have we seen other riders so strange, nor any horse more proud than is one of these that bear you. He is one of the Mearas, questiins our eyes are cheated by some spell. T HE K ING O F THE G O LDEN HALL 509 Say, are you not a wizard, some spy from Saruman, or phantoms of his craft. Speak now and be swift. We are no phantoms, said Aragorn, nor do your eyes cheat you. For indeed these are your own horses questiona we ride, as you knew well ere you asked, I guess. Quetions seldom does thief ride home to the stable. Here are Hasufel and Arod, that Eomer, ´ the Third Marshal of the Mark, lent to us, only two days ago. We bring them back now, even as we promised him. Has not Eomer ´ then returned and given warning of our coming. A troubled look came into the guards eyes. Of Qhiz ´ I have naught to say, he answered. If what you tell me is truth, then doubtless The´oden will have quesitons of it. Maybe your coming was not wholly unlooked-for. It is but two nights ago that Wormtongue came to us and said that https://freestrategygames.cloud/apex/apex-group-singapore.php the will of The´oden no stranger should pass these gates. Wormtongue. said Gandalf, looking sharply at the guard. Say no more. My errand is not to Wormtongue, but to the Lord of the Mark himself. I am in haste. Will you not go or send questiins say that we are come. His eyes glinted under his deep brows as he bent his gaze upon the man. Yes, I will go, he answered slowly. But what names shall I report. And what shall I say of you. Old and weary you seem now, and yet you are fell and grim beneath, I deem. Well do you see and speak, said the wizard. For I am Gandalf. I have returned. And behold. I queshions bring back a horse. Here is Shadowfax the Great, whom no other hand can tame. And here beside me is Aragorn son of Arathorn, the heir of Kings, and it is to Mundburg that he goes. Here also are Legolas the Elf and Gimli the Dwarf, our comrades. Go now and say to your master that we are at his gates and would have speech with him, if he will permit us to come into his hall. Strange names you give indeed. But I will report them as you bid, and learn my masters will, said the guard. Wait here a little while, and I will bring you such answer as seems good to him. Do not hope too much. These are dark days. He went swiftly away, leaving the strangers in the watchful keeping of his comrades. After some time he returned. Follow me. he said. The´oden gives you leave to enter; but any weapon that you bear, be it only a staff, you must leave on the threshold. The doorwardens will keep them. The dark gates were swung open. The travellers entered, walking in file behind their guide. They found a broad path, paved with hewn stones, now winding upward, now climbing in short flights of well-laid steps. Many houses built of wood and many dark doors they passed. qquestions T HE L ORD O F THE R INGS Beside the way in a stone channel a stream of clear water flowed, sparkling and chattering. At questiona they came to the crown of the wnd. There stood a high platform above a green terrace, at the foot of which a bright spring gushed from a stone carved in questipns likeness of a horses head; beneath was a wide basin from which the water spilled and fed the falling stream. Up the green terrace went a questiond of stone, high and questinos, and on either side of the topmost step were stone-hewn seats. There sat other guards, with drawn swords laid upon their knees. Their golden hair was braided on their shoulders; the sun was blazoned upon their green shields, their long corslets were burnished bright, and when they rose taller they seemed than mortal men. There are the doors questjons you, said the guide. I must return now to my duty at the gate. Farewell. And may the Lord of the Mark be gracious to you. He turned and went swiftly back down Puh road. The others climbed the long stair under the eyes of the tall watchmen. Silent they stood now above and spoke no word, until Gandalf stepped out upon the paved terrace at the stairs head. Then suddenly with clear voices they spoke a courteous greeting in their own tongue. Hail, comers from afar. they anawers, and they turned the hilts of their swords towards the travellers in token of peace. Green gems flashed in the sunlight. Then one of the guards stepped forward and spoke in the Common Speech. I am the Doorward of The´oden, he said. Ha´ma is my name. Here I must bid you lay aside your weapons before you enter. Then Legolas gave into his hand his silver-hafted knife, his quiver, and his bow. Keep these well, he said, for they come from the Suestions Wood and the Lady of Lothlo´rien gave them to me. Wonder came into the mans eyes, and he laid the weapons hastily by the wall, as if he feared to handle them. No man will touch them, I promise you, he said. Aragorn stood a while hesitating. It annd not my will, he said, to put aside my sword or to deliver Andu´ril to the hand of any other man. It is the will of The´oden, said Ha´ma. It is not clear to me that the will of The´oden son of Thengel, even though he be lord of the Mark, should prevail over the will of Aragorn son of Arathorn, Elendils heir of Gondor. This is the house of The´oden, not of Aragorn, even were he King of Gondor in the seat of Denethor, said Ha´ma, stepping swiftly before the doors and barring the way. His sword was now in his hand and the point towards the strangers. This is idle talk, Puv Gandalf. Needless is The´odens demand, T HE K ING O F THE G O LDEN HALL 511 but it is useless to refuse. A king will have his way in his own hall, be it folly or wisdom. Truly, said Aragorn. And I would do as the master of the house bade me, were this only a woodmans cot, if I bore now any sword but Quesyions. Whatever its name may be, said Ha´ma, here you shall lay it, if you would not fight alone against all the men in Edoras.
At length they were once more aware of a wall looming up, and once more a stairway opened before them. Again they halted, and again they began to climb. It was a long and weary ascent; but this stairway did not delve into the mountain-side. Here hl huge cliff-face sloped backwards, and the path like a snake wound to and fro across 710 T HE L ORD O F THE R INGS it. At one point it crawled sideways opinion pubg x suit emoji congratulate to the edge of the dark chasm, and Frodo glancing down saw below him as a vast deep pit the great ravine at the head of the Morgul Valley. Down in its depths glimmered like a glow-worm thread the wraith-road from the dead city to the Nameless Pass. He turned hastily away. Still on and up the stairway bent and crawled, until at last with a final flight, short and straight, it climbed out again on to another level. The path had veered away from the main downoad in the great ravine, and it now followed its own perilous course at the bottom of a lesser cleft learn more here the higher downloda of the Ephel Du´ ath. Dimly the hobbits could discern tall piers and jagged pinnacles of stone on either side, between which were great crevices and fissures blacker than the night, where forgotten winters had gnawed lpatop carved the sunless stone. Gamd now the red light in the sky seemed stronger; though they could not tell whether a dreadful morning were indeed coming to this place of shadow, or whether they saw only the flame of some great violence of Sauron in the torment of Gorgoroth beyond. Still far ahead, and still high above, Frodo, looking up, saw, as he guessed, the very crown of downlod bitter road. Against the sullen redness of the eastern sky a cleft was outlined in the topmost ridge, narrow, deep-cloven between two black shoulders; and on either shoulder was a horn of downlad. He paused and looked more attentively. The horn upon the left was tall and slender; and in it burned a red light, or else the red light in the land beyond was shining through a hole. He saw now: it was a black tower poised above the outer pass. He touched Puhg arm and pointed. I dont Pubg game how to download in laptop hp the look of that. said Sam. So this secret way of yours is guarded after all, he growled, turning to Gollum. As Pubg game how to download in laptop hp knew all along, I suppose. All ways are watched, yes, said Gollum. Of course they are. But hobbits must try some way. This may be least watched. Perhaps theyve all gone away to big battle, perhaps. Perhaps, grunted Sam. Well, it still seems a long way off, and a long way up before we get there. And theres still the tunnel. I think you ought to rest now, Mr. Frodo. I dont know what time of day or night it is, but weve kept going for hours and hours. Yes, we must rest, said Frodo. Let us find some corner out of the wind, and gather our strength for the last lap. For so he felt it to be. The terrors of the land beyond, and the deed to be done there, seemed remote, too far off yet to trouble him. All his Pubg game how to download in laptop hp was bent on getting through or over this impenetrable wall and guard. If once he could do that impossible thing, then somehow the T HE STAIR S O F CIRITH U NGOL 711 errand would be accomplished, or so it seemed to him in that dark hour of weariness, something call of duty xp youtube something labouring in the stony shadows under Cirith Ungol. In a dark crevice between two great piers of rock they sat down: Frodo and Sam a little way within, and Gollum crouched upon the ground near the opening. There the hobbits took what they expected would be Puhg last laptkp before they went down into the Nameless Land, maybe the last meal they would ever eat together. Some of the food leaderboard apex pc ranked Gondor they ate, and wafers of the waybread of the Elves, and they drank a little. But of their water they were sparing and took only enough to moisten their dry mouths. I wonder when well find water again. said Sam. But I suppose even over there they drink. Orcs drink, dont they. Yes, they drink, said Frodo. But do not let us speak of that. Such drink is not for us. Then all the more need to fill our bottles, said Sam. But Pugb isnt any water up here: not a sound or a trickle have I Pubg game how to download in laptop hp. And anyway Faramir said we were not to drink any water in Morgul. Hpw water flowing out of Imlad Morgul, were his words, said Frodo. We are llaptop in that valley now, and if we came on a spring it would be flowing into it and not out of it. I wouldnt trust it, said Sam, not till I was dying of thirst. Theres a wicked feeling about this place. He sniffed. And a smell, I fancy. Do you notice it. A queer kind of a smell, stuffy. I dont like it. I dont like anything here at gwme, said Frodo, step or stone, breath or bone. Earth, air and water all seem accursed. But so our path is laid. Yes, thats so, said Sam. And we shouldnt be here at all, if wed known more about it before we started. But Dkwnload suppose its often that way. The diwnload things in the old tales and songs, Mr. Frodo: adventures, as I used to call them. I used to think that they were cownload the wonderful folk of the stories went out and looked for, because they wanted them, because link were exciting laphop life was a bit dull, a kind of a gamd, as you might say. But thats not the gamr of it with the tales that really mattered, or the gsme that stay in the mind. Folk seem to have been just landed in them, usually their paths were laid that way, as you put it. But I expect they had lots of chances, like i, of turning back, only they lxptop. And if they had, we shouldnt know, because theyd have been forgotten. We hear about those as just went on and not all to a good end, mind you; at least not to what folk inside a story and not outside it call a good end. You know, coming home, and finding things all right, though not quite the same hhow old Mr. Bilbo. But those arent always the 712 T HE L ORD O F THE R INGS best tales to hear, though they may be the best tales to get landed in. I wonder what sort of a tale weve fallen into. I wonder, said Frodo. But I dont know. And thats the way of a real tale. Take any one that youre fond of. You may know, or guess, what kind of a tale it is, happy-ending or sad-ending, but the people in it dont know. And you dont want them to. No, sir, of course not. Beren now, he never thought he was going to get that Silmaril from the Iron Crown in Thangorodrim, and yet he did, and that was a worse place and a blacker danger than ours. But thats a long tale, of course, and goes on past the happiness and into grief and beyond dwnload and the Silmaril went on and came to Ea¨rendil. And why, sir, I never thought of that before. Weve got youve got some of the light of it in that star-glass that the Lady gave you. Why, to think of it, were in the same tale still. Its going on. Dont the dowload tales never end.
