Merry and Pippen's escape from Grishnakh

[akhtene]

Having read this thread I decided to re-read the chapter in Two Towers, and that's what I thought.
Under given circumstances, Pippin hardly had any time or knowledge, to sort out who was who in Mordor hierarchy, what their captor was supposed to know or what could interest him. [img]smilies/confused.gif[/img]

IMO by imitating Gollum the first time Pippin was sending a message to Merry, that

" Grishnakh knows about the Ring!... he probably wants it for himself"

Right after that, Merry

now alert and aware of Pippin's guess

joins the talk and together the hobbits start playing for time.
PS. Nice verse, littlemanpoet [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]
