[QUOTE]And did the wargs really speak? This is not a rhetorical question - I just don't remember.QUOTE]
In the children's book, TH, they do, but that's not to
say JRRT thought so in the greater world of ME.
Quote:
He (the warg leader) spoke to them in the
dreadful language of the Wargs. Gandalf understood
it. Bilbo did not, but it sounded terrible to him...I will
tell you what Gandalf heard, though Bilbo did not
understand it. ...This was dreadful talk to listen to...
So the Wargs had no intention of going away and letting the
people up the trees escape, at any rate before morning.
And long before that, they said, goblin soldiers
would be coming down from the mointains; and goblins
can climb trees, or cut them down.
