Firefoot has been trapped in the Barrow!
How about when Túrin's band captured and tied Beleg?

I might be mistaking greatfuly but after reading through the chapter I found no signs of mistrust that would have been in Celeborn`s mind . All I found was a thought of "But had I known that the Dwarves had stirred up this evil in Moria again , I would have forbidden you to pass the northern borders , you and all that went with you ." But it displays only anger at the Dwarves for awaking the evil under ground , that would made him not to let them enter . If you meant any other thing from the part , I beg for your forgivness but the information is very poor .
This is when I come up with a sugestion : when posting the situation , you could post aswell the part you exactly meant , for it is hard for the question-giver to search all through the books to find weather it`s true or not and it would make the answer-givers to think more and do more research making the quizz more interesting . How about that Evisse ?

I have no choice than to take Firefoot`s answer as the right onw for the situation is more known . No ofence taken !

That's a very good idea, Ophelia. I'll go edit the first post to include this.

As for Mithalwen's answer - the thing that came to mind was when Gimli was 'singled out' to be blindfolded - that certainly was a sign of mistrust, that later proved more than unfounded. But you're right, she should have been more specific.

Mithalwen is lost in the dark paths of Moria.Mithalwen is lost in the dark paths of Moria.Mithalwen is lost in the dark paths of Moria.Mithalwen is lost in the dark paths of Moria.
Actually it was the doubt of Celeborn I was thinking of but I didn't have the Fellowship on me ( I am resorting to cyber cafes at the moment for reasons too tedious to go into) when he he learns of the balrog .... and then Galadriel tells him not and he says "I did not know your plight was so evil" but I should have been more specific.....and on reflection... it wasn't as close as Firefoot's since Celeborn was more mistrusting his own decision rather than another person - so don't have any concerns on my account

BTW I am a "she" but I am not going to freak if I am called a he... I have an androgynous name in real life so I am quite used to it......

Well, let's see, discomfort followed by delight... I'm thinking of Sam being caught by Gandalf eavesdropping on his conversation with Frodo in 'Shadow of the Past'. First he feels discomfort at the thought of being turned into something unnatural, then he feels delight at his going to see the Elves.

Though perhaps, in the beginning he feels more terrfied than mere discomfort... So if anyone has a better one...

I know this might be a very bad example , but I will take my chances .
When Galadriel was eyeing each of the Fellowship , at the chapter "Mirror of Galadriel" , Sam felt discomfort when he was eyed , but then came the delight part - the delightful rest and refuge at Lorien .
