Merry, on Caradhras

Cold be hand and heart and bone… and other parts of me too, that would be much happier warm. It seems like every other time we’ve been in trouble something’s tried to chill us to the core. The wight in the barrow, and the Riders and now the mountain – or whatever is hiding here.

I’m glad that Gandalf has made a fire, but standing here in the cold and dark reminds me of Weathertop and how nightblind we were when we turned away from the flames to try to see what was attacking us. My teeth were chattering then too.

Ah, visionary hobbits! I think Merry gets a little neglected sometimes, so it's fun to try to see from his point of view.
