The

turf

was

deep

and

yielding

,

and

that

helped

them

:

but

it

seemed

a

long

slow

business

.

They

gave

the

watch-fire

a

wide

berth

,

and

wormed

their

way

forward

bit

by

bit

,

until

they

came

to

the

edge

of

the

river

,

gurgling

away

in

the

black

shadows

under

its

deep

banks

.

Then

they

looked

back

.

The

sounds

had

died

away

.

Evidently

Mauhúr

and

his

'

lads

'

had

been

killed

or

driven

off

.

The

Riders

had

returned

to

their

silent

ominous

vigil

.

It

would

not

last

very

much

longer

.

Already

the

night

was

old

.

In

the

East

,

which

had

remained

unclouded

,

the

sky

was

beginning

to

grow

pale

.

'

We

must

get

under

cover

,

'

said

Pippin

,

'

or

we

shall

be

seen

.

It

will

not

be

any

comfort

to

us

,

if

these

riders

discover

that

we

are

not

Orcs

after

we

are

dead

.

'

He

got

up

and

stamped

his

feet

.

'

Those

cords

have

cut

me

like

wires

;

but

my

feet

are

getting

warm

again

.

I

could

stagger

on

now

.

What

about

you

,

Merry

?

Merry

got

up

.

'

Yes

,

'

he

said

,

'

I

can

manage

it

.

Lembas

does

put

heart

into

you

!

A

more

wholesome

sort

of

feeling

,

too

,

than

the

heat

of

that

orc-draught

.

I

wonder

what

it

was

made

of

.

Better

not

to

know

,

I

expect

.

Let

's

get

a

drink

of

water

to

wash

away

the

thought

of

it

!

'

'N

ot

here

,

the

banks

are

too

steep

,

'

said

Pippin

.

'

Forward

now

!

'

They

turned

and

walked

side

by

side

slowly

along

the

line

of

the

river

.

Behind

them

the

light

grew

in

the

East

.

As

they

walked

they

compared

notes

,

talking

lightly

in

hobbit-fashion

of

the

things

that

had

happened

since

their

capture

.

No

listener

would

have

guessed

from

their

words

that

they

had

suffered

cruelly

,

and

been

in

dire

peril

,

going

without

hope

towards

torment

and

death

;

or

that

even

now

,

as

they

knew

well

,

they

had

little

chance

of

ever

finding

friend

or

safety

again

.

You

seem

to

have

been

doing

well

,

Master

Took

,

'

said

Merry

.

'

You

will

get

almost

a

chapter

in

old

Bilbo

's

book

,

if

ever

I

get

a

chance

to

report

to

him

.

Good

work

:

especially

guessing

that

hairy

villain

's

little

game

,

and

playing

up

to

him

.

But

I

wonder

if

anyone

will

ever

pick

up

your

trail

and

find

that

brooch

.

I

should

hate

to

lose

mine

,

but

I

am

afraid

yours

is

gone

for

good

.

'

I

shall

have

to

brush

up

my

toes

,

if

I

am

to

get

level

with

you

.

Indeed

Cousin

Brandybuck

is

going

in

front

now

.

This

is

where

he

comes

in

.

I

do

n't

suppose

you

have

much

notion

where

we

are

;

but

I

spent

my

time

at

Rivendell

rather

better

.

We

are

walking

west

along

the

Entwash

.

The

butt-end

of

the

Misty

Mountains

is

in

front

,

and

Fangorn

Forest

.

'

Even

as

he

spoke

the

dark

edge

of

the

forest

loomed

up

straight

before

them

.

Night

seemed

to

have

taken

refuge

under

its

great

trees

,

creeping

away

from

the

coming

Dawn

.
