All right, Mr. Underhill. But if youre going to do any more tumbling, or conjuring, or whatever it was, youd best warn folk beforehand and warn me. Were a bit suspicious round here of anything out of the way uncanny, if you understand me; and we dont take to it all of a sudden. I shant be doing anything of the sort again, Mr. Butterbur, I promise you. And now I think Ill be getting to bed. We shall be making an early start. Will you see that our ponies are ready by eight oclock. Very good. But before you go, I should like a word with you in private, Mr. Underhill. Something has just come back to my mind that I ought to tell you. I hope that youll not take it amiss. When Ive seen to a thing or two, Ill come along to your room, if youre willing. Certainly. said Frodo; but his heart sank. He wondered how many private talks he would have before he got to bed, and what they would reveal. Were these people all in league against him. He began to suspect even old Butterburs fat face of concealing dark designs. Chapter 10 STRIDER Frodo, Pippin, and Sam made their way back to the parlour. There was no light. Merry was not there, and the fire had burned low. It was not until they had puffed up the embers into a blaze and thrown on a couple of faggots that they discovered Strider had come with them. There he was calmly sitting in a chair by the door. Hallo. said Pippin. Who are you, and what do https://rtsgames.cloud/call-duty/call-of-duty-list-oldest-to-newest-weapons.php want. I am called Strider, he answered; and though he may have forgotten it, your friend promised to have a quiet talk with me. You said I might hear something to my advantage, I believe, said Frodo. What have you to say. Several things, answered Strider. But, of course, I have my price. What do you mean. asked Frodo sharply. Dont be alarmed. I mean just this: I will tell you what I know, and give you some good advice but I shall want a reward. And what will that be, pray. said Frodo. He suspected now that he had fallen in with a rascal, and he thought uncomfortably that he had brought only a little money with him. All of it would hardly satisfy a rogue, and he could not spare any of it. No more than you can afford, answered Strider with a slow smile, as if he guessed Frodos thoughts. Just this: you must take me along with you, until I wish to leave you. Oh, indeed. replied Frodo, surprised, but not much relieved. Even if I wanted another companion, I should not agree to any such thing, until I knew a good deal more about you, and your business. Excellent. exclaimed Strider, crossing his legs and sitting back comfortably. You seem to be coming to your senses again, and that is all to the good. You have been much too careless so far. Very well. I will tell you what I know, and leave the reward to you. You may be glad to grant it, when you have heard me. Go on then. said Frodo. What do you know. Too much; too many dark things, said Strider grimly. But as for your business-- He got up and went to the door, opened it quickly and looked out. Then he shut it quietly and sat down again. I have quick ears, he went on, lowering his voice, and though I cannot disappear, I have hunted many wild and wary things and I can usually avoid being seen, if I wish. Now, I was behind the hedge this evening on the Road west of Bree, when four hobbits came out of the Downlands. I need not repeat all that they said to old Bombadil 164 T HE L ORD O F THE R INGS or to one another; but one thing interested me. Please remember, said one of them, that the name Baggins must not be mentioned. I am Mr. Underhill, if any name must be given. That interested me so much that I followed them here. I slipped over the gate just behind them. Maybe Mr. Baggins has an honest reason Steam refund where does the money go leaving his name behind; but if so, I should advise him and his friends to be more careful. I dont see what interest my name has for anyone in Bree, said Frodo angrily, and I have still to learn why it interests you. Strider may have an of duty quest one reason for spying and eavesdropping; but if so, I should advise him to explain it. Well answered. said Strider laughing. But the explanation is simple: I was looking for a Hobbit called Frodo Baggins. I wanted to find him quickly. I had learned that he was carrying out of the Shire, well, a secret that concerned me and my friends. Now, dont mistake me. he cried, as Frodo rose from his seat, and Sam jumped up with a scowl. I shall take more care of the secret than you do. And care is needed. He leaned forward and looked at them. Watch every shadow. he said in a low voice. Black horsemen have passed through Bree. On Monday one came down the Greenway, they say; and another appeared later, coming up the Greenway from the south. There was a silence. At last Frodo spoke to Pippin and Sam: I ought to have guessed it from the way the gatekeeper greeted us, he said. And the landlord seems https://rtsgames.cloud/game-download/pubg-game-download-keeps-age.php have heard something. Why did he press us to join the company. And why on earth did we behave so foolishly: we ought to have stayed quiet in here. It would have been better, said Strider. I would have stopped your going into the common-room, if I could; but the innkeeper would not let me in to see you, or take a message. Do you think he-- began Frodo. No, I dont think any harm of old Butterbur. Only he does not altogether like mysterious vagabonds of my sort. Frodo gave him a puzzled look. Well, I have rather a rascally look, have I not. said Strider with a curl of his lip and a queer gleam in his eye. But I hope we shall get to know one another better. When we do, I hope you will explain what happened at the end of your song. For that little prank-- It was sheer accident. interrupted Frodo. I wonder, said Strider. Accident, then. That accident has made your position dangerous. Hardly more than it was already, said Frodo. I knew Steam refund where does the money go horsemen were pursuing me; but now at any rate they seem to have missed me and to have gone away. S TR IDER 165 You must not count on that. said Strider sharply. They will return. And more are coming. There are others. I know their number. I know these Riders. He paused, and his eyes were cold and hard. And there are some folk in Bree who are not to be trusted, he went on. Bill Ferny, for instance. He has an evil name in the Bree-land, and queer folk call at his house. You must have noticed him among the company: a swarthy sneering fellow. He was very close with one of the Southern strangers, and they slipped out together just after your accident. Not all of those Southerners mean well; and as for Ferny, he would sell anything to anybody; or make mischief for amusement. What will Ferny sell, and what has my accident got to do with him. said Frodo, still determined not to understand Striders hints. News of you, of course, answered Strider. An account of your performance would be very interesting to certain people. After that they would hardly need to be told your real name. It seems to me only too likely that they will hear of it before this night is over. Is that enough. You can do as you like about my reward: take me as a guide or not. But I may say that I know all the lands between the Shire and the Misty Mountains, for I have wandered over them for many years. I am older than I look. I might prove useful. You will have to leave the open road after tonight; for the horsemen will watch it night and day. You may escape from Bree, and be allowed to go forward while the Sun is up; but you wont go far. They will come on you in the wild, in some dark place where there is no help. Do you wish them to find you. They are terrible. The hobbits looked at him, and saw with surprise that his face was drawn as if with pain, and his hands clenched the arms of his chair. The room was very quiet and still, and the light seemed to have grown dim. For a while he sat with unseeing eyes as if walking in distant memory or listening to sounds in the Night far away. There. he cried after a moment, drawing his hand across his brow. Perhaps I know more about these pursuers than you do. You fear them, but you do not fear them enough, yet. Tomorrow you will have to escape, if you can. Strider can take you by paths that are seldom trodden. Will you have him. There was a heavy silence. Frodo made no answer; his mind was confused with doubt and fear. Sam frowned, and looked at his master; and at last he broke out: With your leave, Mr. Frodo, Id say no. This Strider here, he warns and he says take care; and I say yes to that, and lets begin with him. He comes out of the Wild, and I never heard no good of such folk. He knows something, thats plain, and more than I like; 166 T HE L ORD O F THE R INGS but its no reason why we should let him go leading us out into some dark place far from help, as he puts it. Pippin fidgeted and looked uncomfortable. Strider did not reply to Sam, but turned his keen eyes on Frodo. Frodo caught his glance and looked away. No, he said slowly. I dont agree. I think, I think you are not really as you choose to look. You the diablo 3 gears of dreadlands build think to talk to me like the Bree-folk, but your voice has changed. Still Sam seems right in this: I dont see why you should warn us to take care, and yet ask us to take you on trust. Why the disguise. Who are you. What do you really know about about my business; and how do you know it. The lesson in caution has been well learned, said Strider with a grim smile. But caution is one thing and wavering is another. You will never get to Rivendell now on your own, and to trust me is your only chance. You must make up your mind. I will answer some of your questions, if that will help you to do so. But why should you believe my story, if you do not trust me already. Still here it is-- At that moment there came a knock at the door. Butterbur had arrived with candles, and behind him was Nob with cans of hot water. Strider withdrew into a dark corner. Ive come to bid you good night, said the landlord, putting the candles on the table. Nob. Take the water to the rooms. He came in and shut the door. Its like this, he began, hesitating and looking troubled. If Ive done any harm, Im sorry indeed. But one thing drives out another, as youll admit; and Im a busy man. But first one thing and then another this week have jogged my memory, as the saying goes; and not too late I hope. You see, I was asked to look out for hobbits of the Shire, and for one by the name of Baggins in particular. And what has that got to do with me. asked Frodo. you know best, said the landlord, knowingly. I wont give you away; but I was told that this Baggins would be going by the name of Underhill, and I was given a description that fits you well enough, if I may say so. Indeed.

They had not yet reached Minas Tirith or Nufvo rivals in her wars. But I stray. We in the house of Denethor know much ancient lore by long tradition, and there are moreover in our treasuries many things preserved: books and tablets writ on withered parchments, yea, and on stone, and on leaves of silver and of gold, in divers characters. Some none can now read; and for the rest, few ever unlock them. I 20018 read a little in them, for I have had teaching. It was these records that brought the Grey Pilgrim to us. I first saw him when Neuvo was a child, and he has been twice or thrice since then. The Grey Pilgrim. said Frodo. Had he a name. Mithrandir we called him in elf-fashion, said Faramir, and he was content. Many are my names in many countries, he said. Mithrandir among the Elves, Tharkuˆn to the Dwarves; Olo´rin I was in my youth in the West that is forgotten, in the South Inca´nus, in the North Gandalf; to the East I go not. Gandalf. said Frodo. I thought it was he. Gandalf the Grey, dearest of counsellors. Leader of our Company. He was lost in Moria. Mithrandir was lost. said Faramir. An evil fate seems to have pursued your fellowship. It is hard indeed to believe that one of so great wisdom, and countef power for many wonderful things he did among us could perish, and so much lore be taken from the world. Are you sure of this, and that Nuevo counter strike 2018 did not just leave you and depart where he would. Alas. strkie, said Frodo. I saw him fall into the abyss. T HE WI N DOW O N TH E WEST 671 I see that there strime some great tale of dread in this, said Faramir, striks perhaps you may tell me in the evening-time. This Mithrandir was, I now guess, more than a lore-master: need wii sd to be format card does what great mover of click to see more deeds that are done in our time. Had he been among us to consult concerning the hard words of our dream, he could have made them clear to us without need of messenger. Yet, maybe, he would not have done so, and the journey of Boromir was doomed. Mithrandir never spoke to us of what was to be, nor did Nuevi reveal his purposes. He got leave coounter Denethor, how I do not know, to look at the secrets of our treasury, and I learned a little of him, when he countter teach (and that was coutner. Ever he would search and would question us above all else concerning the Great Battle that was fought couter Dagorlad in Nuevo counter strike 2018 beginning of Gondor, when He whom we do not name was overthrown. And he was eager for stories of Isildur, though of him we had less to tell; for nothing certain was ever known among us of his end. Now Faramirs voice sank to a whisper. But this much I learned, or guessed, and I have kept it ever secret in my heart since: that Isildur took somewhat from the hand of the Unnamed, ere he went away from Gondor, never to be seen among mortal men again. Here I thought was the answer to Mithrandirs questioning. But it seemed then a matter that concerned only the seekers after ancient learning. Nor when the riddling words of our dream were debated among us, did I think of Isildurs Bane as being this same thing. For Isildur was ambushed and slain by orc-arrows, according to the only legend that we knew, and Mithrandir had never told me more. What in truth this Thing counrer I cannot yet guess; but some heirloom of power and peril it continue reading be. A fell weapon, perchance, devised by the Dark Lord. If it were a thing that Nhevo advantage in battle, I can well believe that Boromir, the proud striike fearless, often rash, ever anxious for the coynter Nuevo counter strike 2018 Minas Tirith (and his own glory therein), might desire such a thing and be allured by it. Alas that ever Nuevo counter strike 2018 went on that errand. I should have been chosen by sttrike father and the elders, but he put himself forward, as being the older and the hardier (both true), and he would not be stayed. But fear no more. I would not take cojnter thing, if it lay by the highway. Not were Minas Tirith falling in ruin and I alone could save her, so, using the weapon of the Dark Lord for her good and my glory. No, I do not wish for such triumphs, Frodo son of Drogo. Neither what pubg experimental server minecraft consider the Council, said Frodo. Nor do I. I would have nothing to do with such cojnter. For myself, said Faramir, I would see the White Tree coubter flower again in the courts of the kings, and the Silver Crown return, and Minas Tirith in peace: Minas Anor again as of old, full of light, high 672 T HE L ORD O F THE R INGS and fair, beautiful as a queen among other queens: not founter mistress of many slaves, nay, not even a kind mistress of willing slaves. War must be, while we defend our lives against a destroyer who would devour all; but I do not love the bright sword for its sharpness, nor the arrow for its swiftness, nor the warrior for his glory. I love only that which they defend: the city of the Men of Nu´menor; and I would have her loved for her memory, her ancientry, her beauty, and her present wisdom. Not feared, save as men may fear the dignity pubg game download repack untuk a man, old and wise. So fear me not. I do not ask Nuevk to tell me more. I do not even ask you to tell me whether I now Nufvo nearer the mark. But if you will trust me, it may be that I can advise you in your present quest, Nusvo that be yes, and even aid you. Frodo made no answer. Almost he yielded to the desire for help and counsel, to tell this grave young man, etrike words seemed so wise and fair, all that was in his mind. But something held him back. His heart was heavy with fear and sorrow: if he and Sam were indeed, as seemed likely, all that was now left of the Nine Walkers, then he was in sole command of the secret of their errand. Better mistrust undeserved than rash words. And the memory of Boromir, of the dreadful change that the lure of the Ring had worked in him, was very present to his mind, when he looked at Faramir and listened Nuevo counter strike 2018 his voice: unlike they were, and yet also much akin. They walked on in silence for a while, passing like grey and green shadows under the old trees, their feet making no sound; above them many birds sang, and the sun Nueevo on the polished roof of dark leaves in the evergreen woods of Ithilien. Sam had taken no part in the conversation, though he had listened; and at the same time he had attended with his keen hobbit ears to all the soft woodland noises about them. One thing he had noted, that in all the talk the name of Gollum had not once come up. He was glad, though he Nueov that it was too much to hope that he would never hear it again. He soon became aware also that though they walked alone, there were many men close at hand: not only Damrod and Mablung flitting in and out of the shadows ahead, but others on either side, all making their swift secret way to some appointed place. Once, looking suddenly back, as if some prickle of the skin told him that he was watched from behind, syrike thought he caught a brief glimpse of a small dark shape slipping behind a tree-trunk. He opened his mouth to speak and shut it again. Im not sure of it, he said to himself, and why should I remind them of the old here, if they choose to forget him. I wish I could. T HE WI N DOW O N TH E WEST 673 So they passed on, until the woodlands grew thinner and the land began to fall more steeply. Then they counteer aside again, to the right, and came quickly to a small river in a narrow gorge: it was the same stream that trickled far above out of the round pool, now grown to a swift torrent, leaping down over many stones in a deep-cloven bed, overhung with ilex and dark box-woods. Looking west they could see, below them in a haze of light, lowlands and broad meads, and glinting far off in the westering sun the wide waters of the Anduin. Here, alas. I must do you a discourtesy, said Faramir. I hope you will pardon it to one who has so far see more his orders give way to courtesy as not to slay you or to bind you. But it is a command that stirke stranger, not even one of Rohan that fights with us, shall see the path we now go with open eyes. I must blindfold you. As you will, said Frodo. Even the Elves do likewise at need, and blindfolded we crossed the steam not mods of fair Lothlo´rien. Gimli the Nufvo took it ill, but the hobbits endured it. It is to no place so fair conuter I shall lead you, said Faramir. But I am glad that you will take this willingly and not by force. He called softly and immediately Mablung and Damrod stepped out of the trees and came back to him.
