He

wondered

very

much

what

kind

of

folk

they

were

.

He

wished

now

that

he

had

learned

more

in

Rivendell

,

and

looked

more

at

maps

and

things

;

but

in

those

days

the

plans

for

the

journey

seemed

to

be

in

more

competent

hands

,

and

he

had

never

reckoned

with

being

cut

off

from

Gandalf

,

or

from

Strider

,

and

even

from

Frodo

.

All

that

he

could

remember

about

Rohan

was

that

Gandalf

's

horse

,

Shadowfax

,

had

come

from

that

land

.

That

sounded

hopeful

,

as

far

as

it

went

.

'

But

how

will

they

know

that

we

are

not

Orcs

?

'

he

thought

.

'

I

do

n't

suppose

they

've

ever

heard

of

hobbits

down

here

.

I

suppose

I

ought

to

be

glad

that

the

beastly

Orcs

look

like

being

destroyed

,

but

I

would

rather

be

saved

myself

.

'

The

chances

were

that

he

and

Merry

would

be

killed

together

with

their

captors

,

before

ever

the

Men

of

Rohan

were

aware

of

them

.

A

few

of

the

riders

appeared

to

be

bowmen

,

skilled

at

shooting

from

a

running

horse

.

Riding

swiftly

into

range

they

shot

arrows

at

the

Orcs

that

straggled

behind

,

and

several

of

them

fell

;

then

the

riders

wheeled

away

out

of

the

range

of

the

answering

bows

of

their

enemies

,

who

shot

wildly

,

not

daring

to

halt

.

This

happened

many

times

,

and

on

one

occasion

arrows

fell

among

the

Isengarders

.

One

of

them

,

just

in

front

of

Pippin

,

stumbled

and

did

not

get

up

again

.

Night

came

down

without

the

Riders

closing

in

for

battle

.

Many

Orcs

had

fallen

,

but

fully

two

hundred

remained

.

In

the

early

darkness

the

Orcs

came

to

a

hillock

.

The

eaves

of

the

forest

were

very

near

,

probably

no

more

than

three

furlongs

away

,

but

they

could

go

no

further

.

The

horsemen

had

encircled

them

.

A

small

band

disobeyed

Uglúk

's

command

,

and

ran

on

towards

the

forest

:

only

three

returned

.

'

Well

,

here

we

are

,

'

sneered

Grishnákh

.

'

Fine

leadership

!

I

hope

the

great

Uglúk

will

lead

us

out

again

.

'

'

Put

those

Halflings

down

!

'

ordered

Uglúk

,

taking

no

notice

of

Grishnákh

.

'

You

,

Lugdush

,

get

two

others

and

stand

guard

over

them

!

They

're

not

to

be

killed

,

unless

the

filthy

Whiteskins

break

through

.

Understand

?

As

long

as

I

'm

alive

,

I

want

'em

.

But

they

're

not

to

cry

out

,

and

they

're

not

to

be

rescued

.

Bind

their

legs

!

'

The

last

part

of

the

order

was

carried

out

mercilessly

.

But

Pippin

found

that

for

the

first

time

he

was

close

to

Merry

.

The

Orcs

were

making

a

great

deal

of

noise

,

shouting

and

clashing

their

weapons

,

and

the

hobbits

managed

to

whisper

together

for

a

while

.

'

I

do

n't

think

much

of

this

,

'

said

Merry

.

'

I

feel

nearly

done

in

.

Do

n't

think

I

could

crawl

away

far

,

even

if

I

was

free

.
