"You can't be warriors, you're girls!" Evrett said.
"You have more courage than wisdom if you dare mock armed shieldmaidens so, " said Mellon laughing as he dodged a snowball. "I rejoice in their allegiance with Gondor!"
Squeals of delight became battle-cries as the shieldmaidens doubled their efforts, and Evrett found himself the target of two indignant girls and a seventeen-year-old blacksmith intent on teaching Evrett manners.
Several other girls came to join the shieldmaidens. "Form ranks! " Mellon cried, and they lined up. Evrett's friends rallied to his side, and the battle between the shieldmaidens, the Gondorian, and the orcs (who bore a striking resemblance to Rohirric boys) raged on.
