‘… Always after a defeat and a respite,
the Shadow takes another shape and grows again.’
«I wish it need not have happened in my time,»
said Frodo.
«So do I,» said Gandalf,

Rc – Tolkien – LotR – Certainly gardeners are honoured
‘… You are a new people
and a new world to me.
Are all your kin of like sort?
Your land must be

before their knees
to hide their feet. […]

‘For we shall ride with you far on the road,
even as far as the country of Rohan.
In three days now Éomer will return hither
to bear Théoden back to rest in the Mark,
and we shall ride with him to honour the fallen.
But now before you go I will confirm
the […]
Rc – Tolkien – LotR – I declare you free in the realm of Gondor
‘Then I will declare my doom,’
said Faramir.
‘As for you, Frodo,
in so far as lies in me under higher authority,
I declare you free in the realm of Gondor
to the furthest of its ancient bounds;
save only that neither you nor any that […]
Rc – Tolkien – LotR – This nice friendliness
For a while the hobbits sat in silence. At length Sam stirred. ‘Well I call that neat as neat,’ he said. ‘If this nice friendliness would spread about in Mordor, half our trouble would be over.’
‘Quietly, Sam,’ Frodo whispered. ‘There may be others about. We have evidently had a very narrow escape, and the hunt […]

[ … ] said Frodo sharply.
«And now leave me in peace for a bit!
I don’t want to answer a string of questions while I am eating.
I want to think!»
«Good Heavens!» said Pippin. «At breakfast?»
