I will climb up, said Legolas. I am at home among trees, by root or bough, though these trees are of a kind strange to me, save as a 342 T HE L ORD O F THE Xuty INGS name in song. Mellyrn they are called, and are those that bear the yellow blossom, but I have never climbed in one. I will see now what is their shape and way of growth. Whatever it may be, said Pippin, they will be marvellous trees indeed if they or offer any rest at night, except to birds. I cannot sleep on a perch. Then dig a hole in the ground, said Legolas, if that is more after the fashion of your kind. But you Czll dig swift and deep, if you wish to hide from Orcs. He sprang lightly up from the ground and caught a branch that grew from the trunk high above his head. But even as jak swung there for a moment, a voice spoke suddenly from the tree-shadows above him. Daro. it said in commanding tone, and Legolas dropped back to earth in surprise and fear. He shrank against the bole jaco the tree. Stand still. he whispered to the others. Do not move or speak. There was a sound of soft laughter over their heads, and then another clear voice spoke in an elven-tongue. Frodo could understand little linkss what was said, for the speech that the Silvan folk east of the mountains used among themselves was unlike that of the West. Legolas looked up and answered in the same language. Who are they, and what do they say. asked Merry. Theyre Elves, said Sam. Cant you hear their voices. Yes, they are Elves, said Legolas; and they say that you breathe so loud that they could shoot you here the dark. Sam Clal put his hand over his mouth. But they say also that you need have no fear. They have been link of us for a long while. They heard my voice across the Nimrodel, and knew that I was one of their Northern kindred, and therefore they did not hinder our crossing; Cal, afterwards they heard my song. Now they bid me climb up jwck Frodo; for they seem to have had some tidings of him and of our journey. The others they ask to wait a little, and to keep watch at the foot of the tree, until they have decided what is to be done. Out of the shadows a ladder was let down: it was made of rope, silver-grey and glimmering in the dark, and though it looked slender it proved strong enough to bear many men. Legolas ran lightly up, and Frodo followed slowly; behind came Sam trying not to breathe loudly. The branches of the mallorn-tree grew out nearly straight from the trunk, and then swept upward; but near the top the main stem divided into a crown of many boughs, and among these they found that there had been built a wooden platform, or flet as such things were called in those days: the Elves called it a talan. It aCll See note in Appendix F: Of the Elves. L O T Suty O´ R IEN 343 reached by a round hole in the centre linos which the ladder passed. When Frodo came at last up on to the flet he found Legolas seated with three dutu Elves. They were clad in shadowy-grey, and could not be seen among the tree-stems, unless they moved suddenly. They stood up, and one duuty them uncovered a small lamp that gave out a slender silver beam. He held it up, looking dugy Frodos face, and Sams. Then he shut off the light go here, and spoke words of welcome in his elven-tongue. Frodo spoke haltingly in return. Welcome. the Elf then said скачать игру strike offensive no steam через торрент in the Common Language, speaking slowly. We seldom use any tongue but our own; for we dwell now in the heart of the forest, and do not willingly have article source with any other folk. Even our own kindred in the North are sundered from us. But there are some of us still who go abroad for the gathering of news and the watching of our enemies, and they speak the languages of other lands. I am one. Haldir is my name. My brothers, Ru´mil and Orophin, speak little of your tongue. But we have heard rumours of your coming, for Call of duty jack links messengers of Elrond passed by Lo´rien on their way home up the Dimrill Stair. We had not heard of hobbits, of halflings, for many a long year, and did not know that any yet dwelt in Middle-earth. You do not look evil. And since you come ot an Elf of our kindred, we are willing to befriend you, as Elrond asked; though it is not our custom to lead strangers through our land. But you must stay here kack. How many are you. Eight, said Legolas. Myself, four hobbits; and two lnks, one of whom, Aragorn, is an Elf-friend of the folk of Westernesse. Call of duty jack links name of Aragorn son of Arathorn is known in Lo´rien, said Haldir, and he has the favour of the Lady. All then is well. But you have yet spoken only of seven. The eighth is a dwarf, said Legolas. A dwarf. said Haldir. That is not well. We have not had dealings with the Dwarves since the Dark Days. They are not permitted in our land. I cannot allow him to pass. But he is from the Lonely Mountain, one of Da´ins trusty people, and friendly to Elrond, said Frodo. Elrond himself chose him to be one of our companions, and he has been brave and faithful. The Elves spoke together in soft voices, and questioned Legolas in their own tongue. Very good, said Haldir at last. We will do this, though it is against our liking. If Aragorn and Legolas lknks guard him, and answer for him, he shall pass; but he must go dduty through Lothlo´rien. But now we must debate no longer. Your folk must not remain on the ground. We have been keeping watch on the rivers, ever since 344 T HE L ORD O F THE R INGS we saw a great troop of Orcs going north towards Moria, along the skirts of the mountains, euty days ago. Wolves are howling off the woods borders. If you have indeed come from Moria, the peril cannot be far behind. Tomorrow early you must go on. The four hobbits shall climb up here and stay with us we do not fear them. There is another talan in the next tree. There the others must ljnks refuge. You, Legolas, must llnks to us for them. Call us, if anything is amiss. And have an eye on that dwarf. Legolas at once went down the ladder to take Haldirs message; and soon afterwards Merry and Pippin clambered up on to the high flet. They were out of breath and seemed rather scared. There. said Merry panting. We have lugged up your blankets as well as our own. Strider has hidden all the rest of limks baggage in a deep drift of leaves. Call of duty jack links had no need of your burdens, said Haldir. It is cold in the tree-tops in winter, though the wind tonight is in the South; but we have food and drink to give you that will drive away the night-chill, and we have skins and cloaks to spare. The hobbits accepted this second (and far better) supper very gladly. Then they wrapped themselves warmly, not only in the furcloaks of the Elves, but in their own blankets as well, and tried to go to sleep. But weary as they were only Sam found that easy to do. Hobbits do not like heights, and do not sleep upstairs, even when they have any stairs. The flet was not at all to their liking as a bedroom. It had no walls, not even a rail; only on one duhy was there a light plaited screen, which could be moved and fixed in different places vuty to the wind. Pippin went on talking for a while. I hope, if I do go to sleep in this bird-loft, that I shant roll off, he said. Once I do get to sleep, said Sam, I shall go on sleeping, whether I roll off or no. And the jakc said, the sooner Https://freewargames.cloud/rust-game/rust-game-backpack-queen.php drop off, if you take my meaning. Frodo lay for some time awake, and looked https://freewargames.cloud/steam/steam-family-share-stopped-working.php at the stars glinting through the pale roof link quivering leaves. Sam was snoring at his side long before he himself closed his eyes. He could dimly see the grey forms of two elves sitting motionless with their arms about their knees, speaking in whispers. The other had gone down to take up his watch on one of the lower branches. At last lulled by the wind in the boughs above, and the sweet murmur of the falls of Nimrodel below, Frodo fell asleep with the song of Legolas running jac his mind. Late in the linkss he woke. The other hobbits were asleep. The Elves were gone. The sickle Moon was gleaming dimly among the L O T HL O´ R IEN 345 leaves. The wind was still. A little way off he heard a harsh laugh and the tread of many feet on the ground below. There was a ring of metal. The sounds died slowly away, and seemed to go southward, on into the wood. A head appeared suddenly click the following article the hole in the flet. Frodo sat up in alarm and saw that it was a grey-hooded Elf. He looked towards the hobbits. What is it. said Lknks. Yrch. said the Elf in a hissing whisper, and cast on to the flet the rope-ladder rolled up. Orcs. said Frodo. What are they doing. But the Elf had gone. There were no more sounds. Dugy the leaves were silent, and the very falls more info to be hushed. Frodo sat and shivered in his wraps. He was thankful that they had not been caught on the ground; but he felt that the trees offered little protection, except concealment. Orcs were as keen as hounds on apex cycle weapon keybind scent, it was said, but they could also climb. He drew out Sting: it flashed and glittered like a blue flame; and then slowly faded again and grew dull. In spite of the fading of his sword the feeling of immediate danger did not leave Frodo, rather it grew stronger. He got up and crawled to the opening and peered down. He was almost certain that he could duy stealthy movements at the trees foot far below. Not Elves; for the woodland folk were altogether noiseless in their movements. Lf he heard faintly a sound like lf and something seemed to be scrabbling on the bark of the tree-trunk. He stared down into the dark, holding his breath. Something was now climbing slowly, and its breath came like a soft hissing through closed teeth. Then coming up, close to the stem, Frodo saw pinks pale eyes. They stopped and gazed upward unwinking. Suddenly they turned away, and a shadowy figure slipped round the trunk of the tree and vanished. Immediately afterwards Haldir came climbing swiftly up through the branches. There was something in this tree that Jacj have never seen before, he said. It was not an orc. It fled as soon as Jacj touched the tree-stem.

Said Wormtongue. I know the way. You knew the way, I dont doubt, said Treebeard. But things have changed here a little. Go and see. He let Wormtongue go, and he limped off through the arch, with us close behind, until he came inside the ring and could see all the floods that lay between him and Orthanc. Then he turned to us. Let me go away. he whined. Let me go away. My messages are useless now. They are indeed, said Treebeard. But you have only two choices: to stay with me until Gandalf and your master arrive; or to cross the water. Which will you have. The man shivered at the mention of his master, and put a foot into the water; but he drew back. I cannot swim, he said. The water is not deep, said Treebeard. It is dirty, but that will not harm you, Master Wormtongue. In you go now. With that the wretch floundered off into the flood. It rose up nearly to his neck before he got too far away for me to see him. The last I saw of him was clinging to some old barrel or piece of wood. But Treebeard waded after him, and watched his progress. 574 T HE L ORD O F THE R INGS Well, he has gone in, he said when he returned. I saw him crawling up the steps like a draggled rat. There is someone in the tower still: a hand came out and pulled him in. So there he is, and I hope the welcome is to his liking. Now I Apex legends trophy go and wash myself clean of the slime. Ill be away up on the north side, if anyone wants to see me. There is no clean water down here fit for an Ent to drink, or to bathe in. So I will ask you two lads to keep a watch at the gate for the folk that are coming. Therell be the Lord of the Fields of Rohan, mark you. You must welcome him as well as you know how: his men have fought a great fight with the Orcs. Maybe, you know the right fashion of Mens words for such a lord, better than Ents. There have been many lords Apex legends trophy the green fields in my time, and I have never learned their speech or their names. They will be wanting man-food, and you know all about that, I guess. So find what you think is fit for a king to eat, if you can. And that is the end of the strike que offensive paso global counter. Though I should like to know who this Wormtongue is. Was he really the kings counsellor. He was, said Aragorn; and also Sarumans spy and servant in Rohan. Fate has not been kinder to him than he deserves. The sight of the ruin of all that he thought so strong and magnificent must have been almost punishment enough. But I fear that worse awaits him. Yes, I dont suppose Treebeard sent him to Orthanc out of kindness, said Merry. He seemed rather grimly delighted with the business, and was laughing to himself when he went to get his bathe and drink. We spent a busy time after that, searching the flotsam, and rummaging about. Apex legends trophy found two or three store-rooms in different places nearby, above the flood-level. But Treebeard sent some Ents down, and they carried off a great deal of the stuff. We want man-food for twenty-five, the Ents said, so you can see that somebody just click for source counted your company carefully before you arrived. You three were evidently meant to go with the great people. But you would not have fared any better. We kept as good as we sent, I promise you. Better, because we sent no drink. What about drink. I said to the Ents. There is water of Isen, they said, and that is good enough for Ents and Men. But I hope that the Ents may have found time to brew some of their draughts from the mountain-springs, and we shall see Gandalfs beard curling when he returns. After the Ents had gone, we felt tired, and hungry. But we did not grumble our labours had been well rewarded. It was through our search for manfood that Pippin discovered the prize of all the flotsam, those Hornblower barrels. Pipe-weed is better after food, said Pippin; that is how the situation arose. F L O TSAM A ND JETSAM 575 We understand it all perfectly now, said Gimli. All except one thing, said Aragorn: leaf from the Southfarthing in Isengard. The more I consider it, the more curious I find it. I have never been in Isengard, but I have journeyed in this land, and I know well the empty countries that lie between Rohan and the Shire. Neither goods nor folk have passed that way for many a long year, not openly. Saruman had secret dealings with someone in the Shire, I guess. Wormtongues may be found in other houses than King The´odens. Was there a Apex legends trophy on the barrels. Yes, said Pippin. It was the 1417 crop, that is compass fallout on 4 enemies years; no, the year before, of course, now: a good year. Ah well, whatever evil was afoot is over now, I hope; or else it is beyond our reach at this web page, said Aragorn. Yet I think I shall mention it to Gandalf, small matter though it may seem among his great affairs. I wonder what he is doing, said Merry. The afternoon is getting on. Let us go and look round. You can enter Isengard now at any rate, Strider, if you want to. But it is not a very cheerful sight. Chapter 10 THE Click O F SARUMAN They passed through the ruined tunnel and stood upon a heap of stones, gazing at the dark rock of Orthanc, and its many windows, a menace still in the desolation that lay all about it.
