Yes, Hiriel, you are correct. And thanks for taking the time to type out the quote in context so everyone can find it.
I like this quote - I find it mildly amusing that an Age later, a great King
does take what is his right and helps to destroy Sauron in the bargain:

'You forget to whom you speak,' said Aragorn sternly, and his eyes glinted. 'Did I not openly proclaim my title before the doors of Edoras? What do you fear that I should say to him? Nay, Gimli,' he said in a softer voice, and the grimness left his face, and he looked like one who has laboured in sleepless pain for many nights. 'Nay, my friends, I am the lawful master of the Stone, and I had both the right and the strength to use it, or so I judged. The right cannot be doubted. The strength was enough – barely.'

Your turn! Good luck - there's not a lot of dialogue in the Appendices to choose from.
