Makes sense, I suppose!<P>Another thought I had; it could be purposed that Arwen reach the Grey Havens for one reason: she could be given the "token" for passage on the ship to the West, then decide to keep it for her ultimate use of it--a gift to Frodo at the end of his quest. It would be a good way to illustrate it so everyone could see a clear train of thought. Arwen gives up her passage, not only for Aragorn and a mortal life, but to provide a measure of healing for Frodo. I must admit I am looking forward to Arwen's gift to Frodo in ROTK. It is a favorite moment of mine and I hope it is included. <P>Cheers,<BR>Lyta
