[Angry Brandybuck]

This all came as a great shock to Angry, and he found all he could do was stand and blink is disbelief and dismay. Soon he gained the power of reasonable thought and saw the dilema. The only way to save Crystal's new life would be to sacrifice Aduthondiel's new life, and vice versa.

Being a Hobbit, Angry had always been one to respect the law in his country and he held it as a shining light in a dark world. So the thought immediately came to him:

"Why not go and see Mayor Gamgee? He's always willing to help people out of a difficult situation, and he certainly wouldn't take kindly to some Rohan tyrant comin' in here an' orderin' everyone around as if he owns the place. And theres no need Miss Aduthondiel, for you to go ridin off like a fool, if you pardon the expression, away from a place that you like; we could hide Miss Crystal easy-like. If I know the Shire, all we'd have to do would be to hide her in the next village along or so, and we'd obviously have to not go out or anything but it would be easy to do."

Angry gestured around him "I mean, look at all the strange folks you get in this Inn all the time, no offence to 'em meant you understand, no Hobbit's gonna be able to tell the difference between a woman from Rohan and a man from Rivendell, let alone a particular woman."
