Thunder

growled

and

rumbled

in

the

distance

,

and

the

rain

was

still

falling

heavily

.

The

hobbits

crawled

away

back

into

the

gully

;

but

they

did

not

find

much

shelter

there

.

Rills

of

water

began

to

run

down

;

soon

they

grew

to

a

spate

that

splashed

and

fumed

on

the

stones

,

and

spouted

out

over

the

cliff

like

the

gutters

of

a

vast

roof

.

'

I

should

have

been

half

drowned

down

there

,

or

washed

clean

off

,

'

said

Frodo

.

'

What

a

piece

of

luck

you

had

that

rope

!

'

'

Better

luck

if

I

'd

thought

of

it

sooner

,

'

said

Sam

.

'M

aybe

you

remember

them

putting

the

ropes

in

the

boats

,

as

we

started

off

:

in

the

elvish

country

.

I

took

a

fancy

to

it

,

and

I

stowed

a

coil

in

my

pack

.

Years

ago

,

it

seems

.

"

It

may

be

a

help

in

many

needs

,

"

he

said

:

Haldir

,

or

one

of

those

folk

.

And

he

spoke

right

.

A

pity

I

did

n't

think

of

bringing

another

length

,

'

said

Frodo

;

'

but

I

left

the

Company

in

such

a

hurry

and

confusion

.

If

only

we

had

enough

we

could

use

it

to

get

down

.

How

long

is

your

rope

,

I

wonder

?

'

Sam

paid

it

out

slowly

,

measuring

it

with

his

arms

:

'

Five

,

ten

,

twenty

,

thirty

ells

,

more

or

less

,

'

he

said

.

'

Who

'd

have

thought

it

!

'

Frodo

exclaimed

.

'

Ah

!

Who

would

?

'

said

Sam

.

'

Elves

are

wonderful

folk

.

It

looks

a

bit

thin

,

but

it

's

tough

;

and

soft

as

milk

to

the

hand

.

Packs

close

too

,

and

as

light

as

light

.

Wonderful

folk

to

be

sure

!

Thirty

ells

!

'

said

Frodo

considering

.

'

I

believe

it

would

be

enough

.

If

the

storm

passes

before

nightfall

,

I

'm

going

to

try

it

.

'

'

The

rain

's

nearly

given

over

already

,

'

said

Sam

;

'

but

do

n't

you

go

doing

anything

risky

in

the

dim

again

,

Mr.

Frodo

!

And

I

have

n't

got

over

that

shriek

on

the

wind

yet

,

if

you

have

.

Like

a

Black

Rider

it

sounded-but

one

up

in

the

air

,

if

they

can

fly

.

I

'm

thinking

we

'd

best

lay

up

in

this

crack

till

night

's

over

.

'

'

And

I

'm

thinking

that

I

wo

n't

spend

a

moment

longer

than

I

need

stuck

up

on

this

edge

with

the

eyes

of

the

Dark

Country

looking

over

the

marshes

,

'

said

Frodo

.
