It

is

now

a

full

hour

past

noon

,

'

said

Éomer

.

'

Before

the

night

of

the

third

day

from

now

we

should

come

to

the

Hold

.

The

Moon

will

then

be

one

night

past

his

full

,

and

the

muster

that

the

king

commanded

will

be

held

the

day

after

.

More

speed

we

can

not

make

,

if

the

strength

of

Rohan

is

to

be

gathered

.

'

Aragorn

was

silent

for

a

moment

.

'

Three

days

,

'

he

murmured

,

'

and

the

muster

of

Rohan

will

only

be

begun

.

But

I

see

that

it

can

not

now

be

hastened

.

'

He

looked

up

,

and

it

seemed

that

he

had

made

some

decision

;

his

face

was

less

troubled

.

Then

,

by

our

leave

,

lord

,

I

must

take

new

counsel

for

myself

and

my

kindred

.

We

must

ride

our

own

road

,

and

no

longer

in

secret

.

For

me

the

time

of

stealth

has

passed

.

I

will

ride

east

by

the

swiftest

way

,

and

I

will

take

the

Paths

of

the

Dead

.

The

Paths

of

the

Dead

!

'

said

Théoden

,

and

trembled

.

'

Why

do

you

speak

of

them

?

'

Éomer

turned

and

gazed

at

Aragorn

,

and

it

seemed

to

Merry

that

the

faces

of

the

Riders

that

sat

within

hearing

turned

pale

at

the

words

.

'

If

there

be

in

truth

such

paths

,

'

said

Théoden

,

'

their

gate

is

in

Dunharrow

;

but

no

living

man

may

pass

it

.

'

'

Alas

!

Aragorn

my

friend

!

'

said

Éomer

.

'

I

had

hoped

that

we

should

ride

to

war

together

;

but

if

you

seek

the

Paths

of

the

Dead

,

then

our

parting

is

come

,

and

it

is

little

likely

that

we

shall

ever

meet

again

under

the

Sun

.

'

'

That

road

I

will

take

,

nonetheless

,

'

said

Aragorn

.

'

But

I

say

to

you

,

Éomer

,

that

in

battle

we

may

yet

meet

again

,

though

all

the

hosts

of

Mordor

should

stand

between

.

'

'

You

will

do

as

you

will

,

my

lord

Aragorn

,

'

said

Théoden

.

'

It

is

your

doom

,

maybe

,

to

tread

strange

paths

that

others

dare

not

.

This

parting

grieves

me

,

and

my

strength

is

lessened

by

it

;

but

now

I

must

take

the

mountain-roads

and

delay

no

longer

.

Farewell

!

'

'

Farewell

,

lord

!

'

said

Aragorn

.

'

Ride

unto

great

renown

!

Farewell

,

Merry

!

I

leave

you

in

good

hands

,

better

than

we

hoped

when

we

hunted

the

orcs

to

Fangorn

.

Legolas

and

Gimli

will

still

hunt

with

me

,

I

hope

;

but

we

shall

not

forget

you

.

'

'

Good-bye

!

'

said

Merry

.

He

could

find

no

more

to

say

.

He

felt

very

small

,

and

he

was

puzzled

and

depressed

by

all

these

gloomy

words

.

More

than

ever

he

missed

the

unquenchable

cheerfulness

of

Pippin

.

The

Riders

were

ready

,

and

their

horses

were

fidgeting

;

he

wished

they

would

start

arid

get

it

over

.
