Aragorn

smiled

at

him

;

then

he

turned

to

Boromir

again

.

"

For

my

part

I

forgive

your

doubt

,

"

he

said

.

"

Little

do

I

resemble

the

figures

of

Elendil

and

Isildur

as

they

stand

carven

in

their

majesty

in

the

halls

of

Denethor

.

I

am

but

the

heir

of

Isildur

,

not

Isildur

himself

.

I

have

had

a

hard

life

and

a

long

;

and

the

leagues

that

lie

between

here

and

Gondor

are

a

small

part

in

the

count

of

my

journeys

.

I

have

crossed

many

mountains

and

many

rivers

,

and

trodden

many

plains

,

even

into

the

far

countries

of

Rhun

and

Harad

where

the

stars

are

strange

.

"

But

my

home

,

such

as

I

have

,

is

in

the

North

.

For

here

the

heirs

of

Valandil

have

ever

dwelt

in

long

line

unbroken

from

father

unto

son

for

many

generations

.

Our

days

have

darkened

,

and

we

have

dwindled

;

but

ever

the

Sword

has

passed

to

a

new

keeper

.

And

this

I

will

say

to

you

,

Boromir

,

ere

I

end

.

Lonely

men

are

we

,

Rangers

of

the

wild

,

hunters

-

but

hunters

ever

of

the

servants

of

the

Enemy

;

for

they

are

found

in

many

places

,

not

in

Mordor

only

.

"

If

Gondor

,

Boromir

,

has

been

a

stalwart

tower

,

we

have

played

another

part

.

Many

evil

things

there

are

that

your

strong

walls

and

bright

swords

do

not

stay

.

You

know

little

of

the

lands

beyond

your

bounds

.

Peace

and

freedom

,

do

you

say

?

The

North

would

have

known

them

little

but

for

us

.

Fear

would

have

destroyed

them

.

But

when

dark

things

come

from

the

houseless

hills

,

or

creep

from

sunless

woods

,

they

fly

from

us

.

What

roads

would

any

dare

to

tread

,

what

safety

would

there

be

in

quiet

lands

,

or

in

the

homes

of

simple

men

at

night

,

if

the

Dunedain

were

asleep

,

or

were

all

gone

into

the

grave

?

"

And

yet

less

thanks

have

we

than

you

.

Travellers

scowl

at

us

,

and

countrymen

give

us

scornful

names

.

"

Strider

"

I

am

to

one

fat

man

who

lives

within

a

day

's

march

of

foes

that

would

freeze

his

heart

or

lay

his

little

town

in

ruin

,

if

he

were

not

guarded

ceaselessly

.

Yet

we

would

not

have

it

otherwise

.

If

simple

folk

are

free

from

care

and

fear

,

simple

they

will

be

,

and

we

must

be

secret

to

keep

them

so

.

That

has

been

the

task

of

my

kindred

,

while

the

years

have

lengthened

and

the

grass

has

grown

.

"

But

now

the

world

is

changing

once

again

.

A

new

hour

comes

.

Isildur

's

Bane

is

found

.

Battle

is

at

hand

.

The

Sword

shall

be

reforged

.

I

will

come

to

Minas

Tirith

.

"

"

Isildur

's

Bane

is

found

,

you

say

,

"

said

Boromir

.

"

I

have

seen

a

bright

ring

in

the

Halfling

's

hand

;

but

Isildur

perished

ere

this

age

of

the

world

began

,

they

say

.

How

do

the

Wise

know

that

this

ring

is

his

?

And

how

has

it

passed

down

the

years

,

until

it

is

brought

hither

by

so

strange

a

messenger

?

"

"

That

shall

be

told

,

"

said

Elrond

.

"

But

not

yet

,

I

beg

,

Master

!

"

said

Bilbo

.

"

Already

the

Sun

is

climbing

to

noon

,

and

I

feel

the

need

of

something

to

strengthen

me

.
