You do not know your danger, Theoden. These hobbits will sit on the edge of ruin and discuss the pleasures of the table, or the small doings of their fathers, grandfathers, and great-grandfathers, and remoter cousins to the ninth degree, if you encourage them with undue patience.

"All and all! That he found forward he guessed a gain; needed display in the water it has disproved. Stop us that worship his title, worship him in the past, but praise our exit from the fields of the orcs! Stop the horses freezing!"

I'm not sure that's right. If anybody needs a hint say so.

This has to be Feanor's memorable lines:

'None and none! What I have left behind I count now no loss; needless baggage on the road it proved! Let those that cursed my name curse me still, and whine their way back to the cages of the Valar. Let the ships burn!'

Was he a cool fellow or what?

Correct Evisse!

And yes Feanor is a very cool elf - along with Maglor, Matimo, and Fingon. They're the only Noldor I really like in the books.

Let's see:

'Out of joy we need not stay; and still out of hope.
