In truth, I think the line was more for the audience than anything. Last we saw, Elrond was being berated by Galadriel as to whether to send help. Haldir's line was to inform the audience that they are there with Elrond's wishes. We already knew Galadriel wanted to send help but if Elrond's name was not mentioned, it would have left the impression Galadriel was acting alone.<P>Personally, I found the line rather clumsy.<P>H.C.
