Also, as Sam tells Elanor (and us) in the Epilogue (unpublished, but indicative of Tolkien's feelings on the subject), there would be Elves (even some Noldor at that) in Middle-earth for many long years to come. Indeed, I would say that there are STILL Elves in this middle-earth of ours, and that means that Cirdan is still here somewhere, probably at some small fishing town on the British coast.

Ooh what a fab thought ... it would have to be Cornwall or Wales - westward and Celtic (just in case he slipped into Sindarin

).

For me it's got to be Southend-on-Sea!!!!!

(a little joke from an Essex boy to my countrymen and women)

But, back to Frodo either healing or Dying. What about Saruman foretelling
him (rather nastily, I believe) that he would have neither a healthy life or a long one?
