And

do

not

forget

that

old

man

!

'

said

Gimli

.

'

I

should

be

happier

if

I

could

see

the

print

of

a

boot

.

'

'

Why

would

that

make

you

happy

?

'

said

Legolas

.

'

Because

an

old

man

with

feet

that

leave

marks

might

be

no

more

than

he

seemed

,

the

Dwarf

'M

aybe

,

'

said

the

Elf

;

'

but

a

heavy

boot

might

leave

no

print

here

:

the

grass

is

deep

and

springy

.

'

'

That

would

not

baffle

a

Ranger

,

'

said

Gimli

.

'

A

bent

blade

is

enough

for

Aragorn

to

read

.

But

I

do

not

expect

him

to

find

any

traces

.

It

was

an

evil

phantom

of

Saruman

that

we

saw

last

night

.

I

am

sure

of

it

,

even

under

the

light

of

morning

.

His

eyes

are

looking

out

on

us

from

Fangorn

even

now

,

maybe

.

'

'

It

is

likely

enough

,

'

said

Aragorn

;

'

yet

I

am

not

sure

.

I

am

thinking

of

the

horses

.

You

said

last

night

,

Gimli

,

that

they

were

scared

away

.

But

I

did

not

think

so

.

Did

you

hear

them

,

Legolas

?

Did

they

sound

to

you

like

beasts

in

terror

?

'

'N

o

,

'

said

Legolas

.

'

I

heard

them

clearly

.

But

for

the

darkness

and

our

own

fear

I

should

have

guessed

that

they

were

beasts

wild

with

some

sudden

gladness

.

They

spoke

as

horses

will

when

they

meet

a

friend

that

they

have

long

missed

.

'S

o

I

thought

,

'

said

Aragorn

;

'

but

I

can

not

read

the

riddle

,

unless

they

return

.

Come

!

The

light

is

growing

fast

.

Let

us

look

first

and

guess

later

!

We

should

begin

here

,

near

to

our

own

camping-ground

,

searching

carefully

all

about

,

and

working

up

the

slope

towards

the

forest

.

To

find

the

hobbits

is

our

errand

,

whatever

we

may

think

of

our

visitor

in

the

night

.

If

they

escaped

by

some

chance

,

then

they

must

have

hidden

in

the

trees

,

or

they

would

have

been

seen

.

If

we

find

nothing

between

here

and

the

eaves

of

the

wood

,

then

we

will

make

a

last

search

upon

the

battle-field

and

among

the

ashes

.

But

there

is

little

hope

there

:

the

horsemen

of

Rohan

did

their

work

too

well

.

'

For

some

time

the

companions

crawled

and

groped

upon

the

ground

.

The

tree

stood

mournfully

above

them

,

its

dry

leaves

now

hanging

limp

,

and

rattling

in

the

chill

easterly

wind

.

Aragorn

moved

slowly

away

.

He

came

to

the

ashes

of

the

watch-fire

near

the

river-bank

,

and

then

began

to

retrace

the

ground

back

towards

the

knoll

where

the

battle

had

been

fought

.

Suddenly

he

stooped

and

bent

low

with

his

face

almost

in

the

grass

.

Then

he

called

to

the

others

.

They

came

running

up

.
