Mithrandir said to watch for two, but here there were four, and under Tom Bombadil’s wing. Not coming by the Road, either but riding to meet it from the south, as if no dangers lurked beyond Deadman’s Dike. Three of them wore heavy woolens despite the lingering heat of the day, and he might have thought them borderers, for they all wore swords, had it not been for the fourth, with his scholar’s softness and the oddly familiar set to his chin.
Tom’s eyes twinkled as he spotted the watcher, “No ordinary travelers,” they said.
And Aragorn nodded. “I know.”

Date: 2004-06-09 12:56 pm (UTC)One of these days I'm going to find a random number generator, set it to picking pages out of my omnibus edition, and see if I can't find a way to drabble an insight for a third of the pages it picks. It's a heady exercise in writing flipping open the book and skimming until the bunny bites!
Thanks!

Date: 2004-06-09 04:30 pm (UTC)You see, ever since they met Gildor Sam's been sure that he has a task to do, and the task is bigger than wanting to see the world, or even wanting to follow Frodo. He's met Ringwraiths now, he knows how horrible that evil is, and he won't leave Frodo to it. If it turns out that the task to do is to keep Frodo from Sauron's grasp, then so be it -- but not until they've done everything in their power short of the knife first. And, begging Strider's pardon, but Frodo's more likely to listen to those he knows best, since the Ranger can be downright scary at times -- but if Strider can somehow carry Merry and Pippin and Sam's voices along to wherever it is Frodo's hiding that would be helpful...

Date: 2004-06-09 04:51 pm (UTC)Well, okay, that's a possible scenario. I'm still trying to work in Sam doing some kind of interpretive dance, preferably with veils. They're going to adapt Asfaloth's headstall to make a jingly belt for him, and he will dance upon the grass, twirling, to beckon Frodo back. I'm working the Lúthien connection. What do you think, plausible?
(I think I still have Fennelseed's latest on my mind...)

Date: 2004-06-09 05:03 pm (UTC)Interpretive dance hey? And veils, too! I shall have to make sure that the cold water is running in the shower before I read the next chapter then.
And you would remind me of Fennelseed's latest when I am at work and don't dare explain why I am blushing to my colleagues.
