This is one of my favourite minor characters ...and for me, one of the glories of Tolkien is that he can make the minor characters so vivid..and I happen to have read this bit very recently.

"Nay, nay," said Elfhelm, 'the enemy is on the road not in the hills. You hear the Woses, the Wild Men of the woods: thus they talk together from afar'

Guinevere · 06-09-2014, 03:47 AM

I agree about Tolkien's minor characters! For me , the fun of this game is to browse through the books and find quotes I love.
