Like a Black Rider it sounded but one up in the air, if they can fly. Im thinking wed best lay up in this crack till nights over. And Im thinking that I wont spend a moment longer than I need, stuck up on this edge with the eyes of the Dark Country looking over the marshes, said Frodo. With that he stood up and went down to the bottom of the gully again. He looked out. Clear sky was growing in the East once more. The skirts of the storm were lifting, ragged and wet, and the main battle had passed to spread its great wings over the Emyn Muil, upon which the dark thought of Sauron brooded for a while. Thence it turned, smiting the Vale of Anduin with hail and lightning, and casting its shadow upon Minas Tirith with threat of war. Then, lowering in the mountains, and see more its great spires, it rolled on slowly over Gondor and the skirts of Rohan, until far away the Riders on the plain saw its black towers moving behind the sun, as they rode into the West. But here, over the desert and the reeking marshes the deep blue sky of evening opened once more, and a few pallid stars 610 T HE L ORD O F THE R INGS appeared, like small white holes in the canopy above the crescent moon. Its good to be able to see again, said Frodo, breathing deep. Do you know, I thought for a bit that I had lost my sight. From the lightning or something else worse. I could see nothing, nothing at all, until the grey rope came down. It seemed to shimmer somehow. It does look sort of silver in the dark, said Sam. Never noticed it before, though I cant remember as Ive ever had it out since I first stowed it. But if youre so set on climbing, Mr. Frodo, how are you going to use it. Thirty ells, or say, about eighteen fathom: thats no more than your guess at the height of the cliff. Frodo thought for a while. Make it fast to that stump, Sam. he said. Then I think you shall have your wish this time and go first. Ill lower you, and you need do no more than use your feet and hands to fend yourself off the rock. Though, if you put your weight on some of the ledges and give me a rest, it will help. When youre down, Ill follow. I feel quite myself again now. Very well, said Sam heavily. If it must be, lets get it over. He took up the rope and made it fast over the stump nearest to the brink; then the other end he tied about his own waist. Reluctantly he turned and prepared to go over the edge a second time. It did not, however, turn out half as bad as he had expected. The rope seemed to give him Baldurs gate 3 script extender v10, though he shut his eyes more than once when he looked down between his feet. There was one awkward spot, where Baldurs gate 3 script extender v10 was no ledge and the wall your call of duty zombies characters year authoritative sheer and even undercut for a short space; there he slipped and swung out on the silver line. But Frodo lowered him slowly and steadily, and it was over at last. His chief fear had been that the rope-length would give out while he was still high up, but there was still a good bight in Frodos hands, when Sam came to the bottom and called up: Im down. His voice came up clearly from below, but Frodo could not see him; his grey elven-cloak had melted into the twilight. Frodo took rather more time to follow him. He had the rope about his waist and it was fast above, and he had shortened it so that it would pull him up before he reached the ground; still he did not want to risk a fall, and he had not quite Sams faith in this slender grey line. He found two places, all the same, where he had to trust wholly to it: smooth surfaces where there was no hold even for his strong hobbit fingers and the ledges were far apart. But at last he too was down. Well. he cried. Weve done it. Weve escaped from the Emyn Muil. And now what next, I wonder. Maybe we shall soon be sighing for good hard rock under foot again. But Sam did not answer: he was staring back up the cliff. Ninny- T HE TAMIN G O F SMEAGO ´ L 611 hammers. he said. Noodles. My beautiful rope. There it is tied to a stump, and were at the bottom. Just as nice a little stair for that slinking Gollum as we could leave. Better put up a signpost to say which way weve gone. I thought it seemed a bit too easy. If you can think of any way we could have both used the rope and yet brought it down with us, then you can pass on to me ninnyhammer, or any other name your gaffer gave you, said Frodo. Climb up and untie it and let yourself down, if you want to. Sam scratched his head. No, I cant think how, begging your pardon, he said. But I dont like leaving it, and thats a fact. He stroked the ropes end and shook it gently. It goes hard parting with anything I brought out of the Elf-country. Made by Galadriel herself, too, maybe. Galadriel, he murmured, nodding his head mournfully. He looked up and gave one last pull to the rope as if in farewell. To the complete surprise of both the hobbits it came loose. Sam fell over, and the long grey coils slithered silently down on top of click here. Frodo laughed. Who tied the rope. he said. A good thing it held as long as it did. To think that I trusted all my weight to your knot. Sam did not laugh. I may not be much good at climbing, Mr. Frodo, he said in injured tones, but I do know something about rope and about knots. Its in the family, as you might say. Why, my grand-dad, and my uncle Andy after him, him that was the Gaffers eldest brother, he had a rope-walk over by Tighfield many a year. And I put as fast a hitch over the stump as anyone could have done, in the Shire or out of it. Then the rope must have broken frayed on the rock-edge, I expect, said Frodo. I bet it didnt. said Sam in an even more injured voice. He stooped and examined the ends. Nor it hasnt neither. Not a strand. Then Im afraid it must have been the knot, said Frodo. Sam shook his head and did not answer. He was passing the rope through his fingers thoughtfully. Have it your own way, Mr. Frodo, go here said at last, but I click to see more the rope came off itself when I called. He coiled it up and stowed it lovingly in his pack. It certainly came, said Frodo, and thats the chief thing. But now weve got to think of our next move. Night will be on us soon. How beautiful the stars are, and the Moon. They do cheer the heart, dont they. said Sam looking up. Elvish they are, somehow. And the Moons growing. We havent seen him for a night or two in this cloudy weather. Hes beginning to give quite a light. Yes, said Frodo; but he wont be full for some days. I dont think well try the marshes by the light of half a moon. 612 T HE L ORD O F THE R INGS Under the first shadows of night they started out on the next stage of their journey. After a while Sam turned and looked back at the way they had come. The mouth of the gully was a black notch in the dim cliff. Im glad weve got the rope, he said. Weve set a little puzzle for that footpad, anyhow. He can try his nasty flappy feet on those ledges. They picked their steps away from the skirts of the cliff, among a wilderness of boulders and rough stones, wet and slippery with the heavy rain. The ground still fell away sharply. They had not gone very far when they came upon a great fissure that yawned suddenly black before their feet. It was not wide, but it was too wide to jump across in the dim light. They thought they could hear water gurgling in its depths. It curved away on their left northward, back towards the hills, and so barred their road in that direction, at any rate while darkness lasted. We had better try a way back southwards along the line of the check this out, I think, said Sam. We might find some nook there, or even a cave or something. I suppose so, said Frodo. Im tired, and I dont think I can scramble among stones much longer tonight though I grudge the delay. I wish there was a clear path in front click the following article us: then Id go on till my legs gave way. They did not find the going any easier at the broken feet of the Emyn Muil. Nor did Sam find any nook or hollow to shelter in: only bare stony slopes frowned over by the cliff, which now rose again, higher and more sheer as they went back. In the end, worn out, they just cast themselves on the ground under the lee of a boulder lying not far from the foot of the precipice. There for some time they sat huddled mournfully together in the cold stony night, while sleep crept upon them in spite of all they could do to hold it off. The moon now rode high and clear. Its thin white light lit up the faces of the rocks and drenched the cold frowning walls of the cliff, turning all the wide looming darkness into a chill pale grey scored with black shadows. Well. said Frodo, standing up and drawing his cloak more closely round him. You sleep for jewelry symbols pubg name bit Sam and take my blanket. Ill walk up and down on sentry for a while. Suddenly he stiffened, and stooping he gripped Sam by the arm. Whats that. he whispered. Look over there on the cliff. Sam looked and breathed in sharply through his teeth. Ssss. he said. Thats what it is. Its that Gollum. Snakes and adders. And to think that I thought that wed puzzle him with our bit of a climb. Look at him. Like a nasty crawling spider on a wall. T HE TAMIN G O F SMEAGO ´ L 613 Down the face of a precipice, sheer and almost smooth it seemed in the pale moonlight, a small black shape was moving with its thin limbs splayed out. Maybe its soft clinging hands and toes were finding crevices and holds that no hobbit could ever have seen or used, but it looked as if it was just creeping down on sticky pads, like some large prowling thing of insect-kind. And it was coming down head first, as if it was smelling its way. Now and again it lifted its head slowly, turning it right back on its long skinny neck, and the hobbits caught a glimpse of two small pale gleaming lights, its eyes that blinked at the moon for a moment and then were quickly lidded again. Do you think he can see us. said Sam. I dont know, said Frodo quietly, but I think not. It is hard even for friendly eyes to see these elven-cloaks: I cannot see you in the shadow even at a few paces. And Ive heard that he doesnt like Sun or Moon. Then why is he coming down just here. asked Sam. Quietly, Sam. said Frodo. He can smell us, perhaps. And he can hear as keen as Elves, I believe. I think he has heard something now: our voices probably. We did a lot of shouting away back there; and we were talking far too loudly until a minute ago. Well, Im sick Baldurs gate 3 script extender v10 him, said Sam. Hes come once too often for me, and Im going to have a word with him, if I can. I dont suppose we could give him the slip now anyway. Drawing his grey hood well over his face, Sam crept stealthily towards the cliff. Careful. whispered Frodo coming behind. Dont alarm him. Hes much more dangerous than he looks. The black crawling shape was now three-quarters of the way down, and perhaps fifty feet or less above the cliffs foot. Crouching stonestill in the shadow of a large boulder the hobbits watched him. He seemed to have come to a difficult passage or to be troubled about something. They could hear him snuffling, and are steam kettle cleaning commit and again there was a harsh hiss of breath that sounded like a curse. He lifted his head, and they thought they heard him spit. Then he moved on again. Now they could hear his voice creaking and whistling. Ach, sss. Cautious, my precious. More haste less speed. We musstnt rissk our neck, musst we, precious. No, precious gollum. He lifted his head again, blinked at the moon, and quickly shut his eyes. We hate it, he hissed. Nassty, nassty shivery light it is sss it spies on us, precious it hurts our eyes. He was getting lower now and the hisses became sharper and clearer. Where iss it, where iss it: my Precious, my Precious. Its ours, it is, and we wants it. The thieves, the thieves, the filthy little thieves. Where are they with my Precious. Curse them. We hates them. 614 T HE L ORD O F THE R INGS It doesnt sound as if he knew we were here, does it. whispered Sam. And whats his Precious. Does he mean the-- Hsh. breathed Frodo. Hes getting near now, near enough to hear a whisper. Indeed Gollum had suddenly paused again, and his large head on its scrawny neck was lolling from side to side as if he was listening. His pale eyes were half unlidded. Sam restrained himself, though his fingers were twitching. His eyes, filled with anger and disgust, were fixed on the wretched creature as he now began to move again, still whispering and hissing to himself. At last he was no more than a dozen feet from the ground, right above their heads. From that point there was a sheer drop, for the cliff was slightly undercut, and even Gollum could not find a hold of any kind. He seemed to be trying to twist round, so as to go legs first, when suddenly with a shrill whistling shriek he fell. As he did so, he curled his legs and arms up round him, like a spider whose descending thread is snapped. Sam was out of his hiding in a flash and crossed the space between him and the cliff-foot in a couple of leaps. Before Gollum could get up, he was on top of him. But he found Gollum more than he bargained for, even taken like that, suddenly, off his guard after a fall. Before Sam could get a hold, long legs and arms were wound round him pinning his arms, and a clinging grip, soft click here horribly strong, was squeezing him like slowly tightening cords; clammy fingers were feeling for his throat. Then sharp teeth bit into his shoulder. All he could do was to butt his hard round head sideways into the creatures face. Gollum hissed and spat, but he did not let go. Things would have gone ill with Sam, if he had been alone. But Frodo sprang up, and drew Sting from its sheath. With his left hand he drew back Gollums head by his thin lank hair, stretching his long neck, and forcing his pale venomous eyes to stare up at the sky. Let go. Gollum, he said. This is Sting. You have seen it before once upon a time. Read more go, or youll feel it this time. Ill cut your throat. Gollum collapsed and went as loose as wet string. Sam got up, fingering his shoulder. His eyes smouldered with anger, but he could not avenge himself: his miserable enemy lay grovelling on the stones whimpering. Dont hurt us. Dont let them hurt us, precious. They wont hurt us will they, nice little hobbitses. We didnt mean no harm, but they jumps on us like cats on poor mices, they did, precious. And were so lonely, gollum. Well be nice to them, very nice, if theyll be nice to us, wont we, yes, yess. Well, whats to be done with it. said Sam. Tie it up, so as it cant come sneaking after us no more, I say. T HE TAMIN G O F SMEAGO ´ L 615 But that would kill us, kill us, whimpered Gollum. Cruel little hobbitses. Tie us up in the cold hard lands and leave us, gollum, gollum. Sobs welled up in his gobbling throat. No, said Frodo. If we kill him, we must kill him outright. But we cant do that, not as things are. Poor wretch. He has done us no harm. Oh hasnt he. said Sam rubbing his shoulder. Anyway he meant to, and he means to, Ill warrant. Throttle us in our sleep, thats his plan. I daresay, said Frodo. But what he means to do is another matter. He paused for a while in thought. Gollum lay still, but stopped whimpering. Sam stood glowering over him. It seemed to Frodo then that he heard, quite plainly but far off, voices out of the past: What a pity Bilbo did not stab the vile creature, when he had a chance. Pity. It was Pity that stayed his hand. Pity, and Mercy: not to strike without need. I do not feel any pity for Gollum. He deserves death. Deserves death. I daresay he does. Many that live deserve death. And some die this web page deserve life. Can you give that to them. Then be not too eager to deal out death in the name of justice, fearing for your own safety. Even the wise cannot see all ends. Very well, he answered aloud, lowering his sword. But still I am afraid. And yet, as you see, I will not touch the creature. For now that I see him, I do pity him. Sam stared at his master, who seemed to be speaking to some one who was not there. Gollum lifted his head. Yess, wretched we are, precious, he whined. Misery misery. Hobbits wont kill us, nice hobbits. No, we wont, said Frodo. But we wont let you go, either. Youre full of wickedness and mischief, Gollum. You will have to come with us, thats all, while we keep an eye on you. But you must help us, if you can. One good turn deserves another. Yess, yes indeed, said Gollum sitting up. Nice hobbits. We will come with them. Find them safe paths in the dark, yes we will. And where are they going in these cold link lands, we wonders, yes we wonders. He looked up at them, and a faint light of cunning and eagerness flickered for a second in his pale blinking eyes. Sam scowled at him, and sucked his teeth; but he seemed to sense that there was something odd about his masters mood and that the matter was beyond argument. All the same he was amazed at Frodos reply. Frodo looked straight into Gollums eyes which flinched and 616 T HE L ORD O F THE R INGS twisted away. You know that, or you guess well enough, Sme´agol, he said, quietly and sternly. We are going to Mordor, of course.

Harry uPbg to crhomebook but he was cut short as Lockhart flung an arm around his shoulders and thundered jovially, Shouldnt have asked. We meet again, Harry. Pinned to Lockharts side and burning with humiliation, Harry saw Malfoy slide smirking back into the crowd. Come on then, Mr. Creevey, said Lockhart, beaming at Colin. A double portrait, cant do better than that, and well both sign it for you. Colin fumbled for his camera and took the picture as the bell rang behind them, signaling the start of afternoon classes.
