Before I turn the page to the next chapter, I would like to mention how much I enjoy the ending of this one - it's so very hobbity!

'So that is the King of Rohan!' said Pippin in an undertone. 'A fine old fellow. Very polite.'


The preceding pages also have such wonderful humour - Merry's high-falutin' language, used with tongue in cheek; Gimli's "torn between rage and joy"; Théoden's 'It cannot be doubted that we witness the meeting of dear friends" - all bring welcome yet subtle comic relief into the story. (...too subtle for the movies, apparently. )
