Gollum
1. Gollum is a liar, and you have to sift his words.	P71;Par 09 (E-pub) P74;Par 08 (Paperback)
2. / A ridiculous story.	P71;Par 09 (E-pub) P74;Par 08 (Paperback)
3. / ‘The murder of Déagol haunted Gollum, and he had made up a defence, repeating it to his “precious” over and over again, as he gnawed bones in the dark, until he almost believed it./ I endured him as long as I could, but the truth was desperately important, and in the end I had to be harsh. Mod	P71;Par 10 (E-pub) P74;Par 09 (Paperback)
4. / He thought he was misunderstood and ill-used.	P71;Par 11 (E-pub) P75;Par 01 (Paperback)
5. / Some other fear was on him greater than mine.	P71;Par 11 (E-pub) P75;Par 01 (Paperback)
6. / He hated Bilbo and cursed his name.	P72;Par 01 (E-pub) P75;Par 01 (Paperback)
7. / His longing for the Ring proved stronger than his fear of the Orcs, or even of the light. After a year or two he left the mountains. You see, though still bound by desire of it, the Ring was no longer devouring him; he began to revive a little. He felt old, terribly old, yet less timid, and he was mortally hungry.	P72;Par 03 (E-pub) P75;Par 04 (Paperback)
8. / ‘Light, light of Sun and Moon, he still feared and hated, and he always will, I think; but he was cunning. He found he could hide from daylight and moonshine, and make his way swiftly and softly by dead of night with his pale cold eyes, and catch small frightened or unwary things. He grew stronger and bolder with new food and new air. He found his way into Mirkwood, as one would expect.’/ his talk was constantly interrupted by curses and threats./	P72;Par 04 (E-pub) P75;Par 05 (Paperback)
9. The wood was full of the rumour of him, dreadful tales even among beasts and birds. The Woodmen said that there was some new terror abroad, a ghost that drank blood. It climbed trees to find nests; it crept into holes to find the young; it slipped through windows to find cradles./	P72;Par 10 (E-pub) P76;Par 05 (Paperback)
10. What he had been doing he would not say. He only wept and called us cruel, with many a gollum in his throat; and when we pressed him he whined and cringed, and rubbed his long hands, licking his fingers as if they pained him, as if he remembered some old torture. But I am afraid there is no possible doubt: he had made his slow, sneaking way, step by step, mile by mile, south, down at last to the Land of Mordor.’	P73;Par 03 (E-pub) P77;Par 02 (Paperback)
11. There were his fine new friends, who would help him in his revenge!	P73;Par 05 (E-pub) P77;Par 04 (Paperback)
12. Wretched fool! In that land he would learn much, too much for his comfort.	P73;Par 06 (E-pub) P77;Par 05 (Paperback)
13. Frodo. I can’t understand you. Do you mean to say that you, and the Elves, have let him live on after all those horrible deeds? Now at any rate he is as bad as an Orc, and just an enemy. He deserves death.’ Емотивна оцінка	P74;Par 05 (E-pub) P78;Par 07 (Paperback)
14. I have not much hope that Gollum can be cured before he dies, but there is a chance of it. And he is bound up with the fate of the Ring. Поселив	P74;Par 06 (E-pub) P78;Par 08 (Paperback)
15. he is very old and very wretched.	P74;Par 06 (E-pub) P78;Par 08 (Paperback)
16. He was covered with green slime. He will never love me, I fear; for he bit me, and I was not gentle. Nothing more did I ever get from his mouth than the marks of his teeth. I deemed it the worst part of all my journey, the road back, watching him day and night, making him walk before me with a halter on his neck, gagged, until he was tamed by lack of drink and food, driving him ever towards Mirkwood. I brought him there at last and gave him to the Elves, for we had agreed that this should be done; and I was glad to be rid of his company, for he stank. For my part I hope never to look upon him again; but Gandalf came and endured long speech with him.'	P269;Par 01 (E-pub) P330;Par 02 (Paperback)
17. And I learned also that he had possessed it long. Many lives of his small kind. The power of the ring had lengthened his years far beyond their span;	P269;Par 02 (E-pub) P330;Par 03 (Paperback)
18. He is a small thing, you say, this Gollum? Small, but great in mischief.	P270;Par 04 (E-pub) P332;Par 02 (Paperback)
19. He had suffered much. There is no doubt that he was tormented, and the fear of Sauron lies black on his heart. Still I for one am glad that he is safely kept by the watchful Elves of Mirkwood. His malice is great and gives him a strength hardly to be believed in one so lean and withered. He could work much mischief still, if he were free. And I do not doubt that he was allowed to leave Mordor on some evil errand.'	P270;Par 05 (E-pub) P332;Par 03 (Paperback)
20. for his rescue, and that he knew of it beforehand. How that was contrived we cannot guess; but Gollum is cunning, and the spies of the Enemy are many.	P271;Par 02 (E-pub) P333;Par 03 (Paperback)
21. A nasty name. Gollum, maybe?	P394;Par 05 (E-pub) P499;Par 04 (Paperback)
22. So you know about our little footpad, do you?	P395;Par 05 (E-pub) P500;Par 06 (Paperback)
23. I have tried to catch him once or twice at night; but he is slier than a fox, and as slippery as a fish. I hoped the river-voyage would beat him, but he is too clever a waterman.	P395;Par 05 (E-pub) P500;Par 06 (Paperback)
24. Since we took to boats, he has been lying on a log and paddling with hands and feet.	P395;Par 05 (E-pub) P500;Par 06 (Paperback)
25. He is very dangerous. Quite apart from murder by night on his own account, he may put any enemy that is about on our track.'	P395;Par 07 (E-pub) P501;Par 01 (Paperback)
26. If he was still following, he was very wary and cunning.	P395;Par 08 (E-pub) P501;Par 02 (Paperback)
Bilbo
It was Pity that stayed his hand. Pity, and Mercy: not to strike without need. And he has been well rewarded, Frodo. Be sure that he took so little hurt from the evil, and escaped in the end, because he began his ownership of the Ring so. With Pity.’	P74;Par 02 (E-pub) P78;Par 04 (Paperback)
Bilbo gave it all away. He told me he did not feel it was really his, as it came from robbers.'	P224;Par 07 (E-pub) P272;Par 05 (Paperback)
Suddenly he noticed, not far from the further end of the fire, a small dark figure seated on a stool with his back propped against a pillar. Beside him on the ground was a drinking-cup and some bread. Frodo wondered whether he was ill (if people were ever ill in Rivendell), and had been unable to come to the feast. His head seemed sunk in sleep on his breast, and a fold of his dark cloak was drawn over his face.	P241;Par 10 (E-pub) P300;Par 01 (Paperback)
I have seen a good deal of you. I have sat by your side with Sam each day.	P242;Par 06 (E-pub) P300;Par 07 (Paperback)
sitting and thinking. I do a lot of that nowadays, and this is the best place to do it in, as a rule.	P242;Par 08 (E-pub) P300;Par 09 (Paperback)
There was a bright twinkle in it and no sign of sleepiness that Frodo could see.	P242;Par 08 (E-pub) P300;Par 09 (Paperback)
I am frightfully glad to see you safe and sound.'	P243;Par 03 (E-pub) P302;Par 02 (Paperback)
`Have you got it here?' he asked in a whisper. `I can't help feeling curious, you know, after all I've heard. I should very much like just to peep at it again.'	P243;Par 04 (E-pub) P302;Par 03 (Paperback)
Slowly he drew it out. Bilbo put out his hand. But Frodo quickly drew back the Ring. To his distress and amazement he found that he was no longer looking at Bilbo; a shadow seemed to have fallen between them, and through it he found himself eyeing a little wrinkled creature with a hungry face and bony groping hands. He felt a desire to strike him.	P243;Par 07 (E-pub) P302;Par 06 (Paperback)
Bilbo smiled and laughed happily. Every item of news from the Shire that Frodo could tell-aided and corrected now and again by Sam-was of the greatest interest to him, from the felling of the least tree to the pranks of the smallest child in Hobbiton.	P243;Par 09 (E-pub) P303;Par 01 (Paperback)
To Frodo his dangerous flight, and the rumours of the darkness growing in the world outside, already seemed only the memories of a troubled dream; but the faces that were turned to meet them as they entered were grave.	P252;Par 06 & P253 Par 01 (E-pub) P311;Par 07 & P312 Par 01 (Paperback)
only wished to claim the treasure as my very own in those days, and to be rid of the name of thief that was put on me. But perhaps I understand things a little better now.	P261;Par 11 & P262 Par 01 (E-pub) P324 Par 07 (Paperback)
Say no more! It is plain enough what you are pointing at. Bilbo the silly hobbit started this affair, and Bilbo had better finish it, or himself.	P280 Par 08 (E-pub) P351 Par 03 (Paperback)
Boromir looked in surprise at Bilbo, but the laughter died on his lips when he saw that all the others regarded the old hobbit with grave respect. Only Glóin smiled, but his smile came from old memories.	P281 Par 02 (E-pub) P351 Par 04 (Paperback)
I don't suppose I have the strength or luck left to deal with the Ring. It has grown, and I have not.	P281 Par 04 (E-pub) P352 Par 02 (Paperback)
А great dread fell on him, as if he was awaiting the pronouncement of some doom that he had long foreseen and vainly hoped might after all never be spoken. An overwhelming longing to rest and remain at peace by Bilbo's side in Rivendell filled all his heart. At last with an effort he spoke, and wondered to hear his own words, as if some other will was using his small voice.	P281 Par 07 (E-pub) P352 Par 05 (Paperback)
`I will take the Ring,' he said, `though I do not know the way.'	P281 Par 08 (E-pub) P352 Par 06 (Paperback) (hmmm.. is this one shouldn’t be in Frodo section? Just saying;))
if you do not find a way, no one will.	P282 Par 01 (E-pub) P353 Par 01 (Paperback)
'Just a plain hobbit you look,' said Bilbo. 'But there is more about you now than appears on the surface.	P289 Par 03 (E-pub) P362 Par 02 (Paperback)
Frodo
1. I am sorry,’ said Frodo. ‘But I am frightened; and I do not feel any pity for Gollum.’	P74;Par 03 (E-pub) P78;Par 05 (Paperback)
2. When he took it out he had intended to fling it from him into the very hottest part of the fire. But he found now that he could not do so, not without a great struggle. He weighed the Ring in his hand, hesitating, and forcing himself to remember all that Gandalf had told him; and then with an effort of will he made a movement, as if to cast it away - but he found that he had put it back in his pocket.	P75;Par 04 (E-pub) P79;Par 08 P80,Par 01 (Paperback)
3. I do really wish to destroy it!’ cried Frodo. ‘Or, well, to have it destroyed. I am not made for perilous quests. I wish I had never seen the Ring! Why did it come to me? Why was I chosen?’	P75;Par 08 (E-pub) P80,Par 05 (Paperback)
4. ‘I should like to save the Shire, if I could - though there have been times when I thought the inhabitants too stupid and dull for words, and have felt that an earthquake or an invasion of dragons might be good for them. But I don’t feel like that now. I feel that as long as the Shire lies behind, safe and comfortable, I shall find wandering more bearable: I shall know that somewhere there is a firm foothold, even if my feet cannot stand there again.	P76;Par 08 (E-pub) P82,Par 02 (Paperback)
5. But I feel very small, and very uprooted, and well - desperate. The Enemy is so strong and terrible.’	P76;Par 09 (E-pub) P82,Par 03 (Paperback)
6. He did not tell Gandalf, but as he was speaking a great desire to follow Bilbo flamed up in his heart - to follow Bilbo, and even perhaps to find him again. It was so strong that it overcame his fear: he could almost have run out there and then down the road without his hat, as Bilbo had done on a similar morning long ago.	P76;Par 09 (E-pub) P82,Par 03 (Paperback)
7. Of course, I have sometimes thought of going away, but I imagined that as a kind of holiday, a series of adventures like Bilbo’s or better, ending in peace. But this would mean exile, a flight from danger into danger, drawing it after me. And I suppose I must go alone, if I am to do that and save the Shire.	P77;Par 01 (E-pub) P82,Par 04 (Paperback)
8. He spoke lightly; but his heart was moved suddenly with a desire to see the house of Elrond Halfelven, and breathe the air of that deep valley where many of the Fair Folk still dwelt in peace.	P80;Par 08 (E-pub) P86,Par 08 (Paperback)
9. At first Frodo was a good deal disturbed, and wondered often what Gandalf could have heard; but his uneasiness wore off, and in the fine weather he forgot his troubles for a while.	P81;Par 08 (E-pub) P88,Par 05 (Paperback)
10. The thought that he would so soon have to part with his young friends weighed on his heart.	P82;Par 02 (E-pub) P89,Par 01 (Paperback)
11. Frodo hesitated for a second: curiosity or some other feeling was struggling with his desire to hide.	P82;Par 02 (E-pub) P88,Par 05 (Paperback)
12. Here is a jewel among hobbits!’	P96;Par 08 (E-pub) P108,Par 03 (Paperback)
13. We are very sorry for you.’	P116;Par 09 (E-pub) P135,Par 03 (Paperback)
14. Frodo opened his mouth and shut it again. His look of surprise was so comical that they laughed.	P116;Par 10 (E-pub) P135,Par 04 (Paperback)
15. A sudden unreasoning fear of discovery laid hold of Frodo, and he thought of his Ring. He hardly dared to breathe, and yet the desire to get it out of his pocket became so strong that he began slowly to move his hand. He felt that he had only to slip it on, and then he would be safe.	P89;Par 01 (E-pub) P98,Par 04 (Paperback)
16. Once more the desire to slip on the Ring came over Frodo; but this time it was stronger than before. So strong that, almost before he realized what he was doing, his hand was groping in his pocket.	P92;Par 08 (E-pub) P103,Par 02 (Paperback)
17. ‘The Ring!’ said Frodo, now completely amazed.	P117;Par 06 (E-pub) P136,Par 05 (Paperback)
18. Sam!’ cried Frodo, feeling that amazement could go no further, and quite unable to decide whether he felt angry, amused, relieved, or merely foolish.	P118;Par 06 (E-pub) P137,Par 08 (Paperback)
19. Even so, I cannot help feeling happy; happier than I have felt for a long time.	P118;Par 12 (E-pub) P138,Par 04 (Paperback)
20. Suddenly he stopped and stammered, overcome with surprise to hear himself saying such things.	P136;Par 03 (E-pub) P162,Par 03 (Paperback)
21. He did not feel either hungry or tired, only filled with wonder.	P143;Par 02 (E-pub) P171,Par 04 (Paperback)
22. The icy touch froze his bones, and he remembered no more. When he came to himself again, for a moment he could recall nothing except a sense of dread.	P152;Par 01 & 02 (E-pub) P182,Par 07 & P183, Par 01 (Paperback)
23. But though his fear was so great that it seemed to be part of the very darkness that was round him, he found himself as he lay thinking about Bilbo Baggins and his stories, of their jogging along together in the lanes of the Shire and talking about roads and adventures. There is a seed of courage hidden (often deeply, it is true) in the heart of the fattest and most timid hobbit, wailing for some final and desperate danger to make it grow. Frodo was neither very fat nor very timid; indeed, though he did not know it, Bilbo (and Gandalf) had thought him the best hobbit in the Shire. He thought he had come to the end of his adventure, and a terrible end, but the thought hardened him. He found himself stiffening, as if for a final spring; he no longer felt limp like a helpless prey.	P152;Par03 (E-pub) P183,Par 02 (Paperback)
24. Then a wild thought of escape came to him. He wondered if he put on the Ring, whether the Barrow-wight would miss him, and he might find some way out. He thought of himself running free over the grass, grieving for Merry, and Sam, and Pippin, but free and alive himself. Gandalf would admit that there had been nothing else he could do. But the courage that had been awakened in him was now too strong: he could not leave his friends so easily. He wavered, groping in his pocket, and then fought with himself again; and as he did so the arm crept nearer. Suddenly resolve hardened in him, and he seized a short sword that lay beside him, and kneeling he stooped low over the bodies of his companions. With what strength he had he hewed at the crawling arm near the wrist, and the hand broke off; but at the same moment the sword splintered up to the hilt.	P153;Par 04 (E-pub) P184,Par 04 (Paperback)
25. Then they lay basking in the sun with the delight of those that have been wafted suddenly from bitter winter to a friendly clime, or of people that, after being long ill and bedridden, wake one day to find that they are unexpectedly well and the day is again full of promise.	P156;Par 04 (E-pub) P188,Par 05 (Paperback)
But there was something in the look and the voice of the gatekeeper that made him uneasy.	P163;Par 05 (E-pub) P198,Par 08 (Paperback)
27. Frodo was annoyed.	P168;Par 06 (E-pub) P206,Par 02 (Paperback)
28. Frodo fidgeted, wondering what to do. Pippin was evidently much enjoying the attention he was getting, and had become quite forgetful of their danger. Frodo had a sudden fear that in his present mood he might even mention the Ring; and that might well be disastrous.	P168;Par 07 (E-pub) P206,Par 03 (Paperback)
29. Frodo suddenly felt very foolish, and found himself (as was his habit when making a speech) fingering the things in his pocket. He felt the Ring on its chain, and quite unaccountably the desire came over him to slip it on and vanish out of the silly situation. It seemed to him, somehow, as if me suggestion came to him from outside, from someone or something a the room. He resisted the temptation firmly, and clasped the Ring in his hand, as if to keep a hold on it and prevent it from escaping or doing any mischief. At any rate it gave him no inspiration.	P168;Par 10 (E-pub) P206,Par 06 (Paperback)
30. For a moment Frodo stood gaping.	P169;Par 04 (E-pub) P207,Par 03 (Paperback)
31. Frodo had a good voice, and the song tickled their fancy.	P171;Par 05 (E-pub) P209,Par 04 (Paperback)
32. It was now Frodo's turn to feel pleased with himself.	P171;Par 06 (E-pub) P209,Par 05 (Paperback)
33. Frodo felt a fool. Not knowing what else to do, he crawled away under the tables to the dark comer by Strider, who sat unmoved, giving no sign of his thoughts. Frodo leaned back against the wall and took off the Ring. How it came to be on his finger he could not tell. He could only suppose that he had been handling it in his pocket while he sang, and that somehow it had slipped on when he stuck out his hand with a jerk to save his fall. For a moment he wondered if the Ring itself had not played him a trick; perhaps it had tried to reveal itself in response to some wish or command that was felt in the room.	P172;Par 02 (E-pub) P210,Par 03 (Paperback)
34. Why did you do that? Worse than anything your friends could have said! You have put your foot in it! Or should I say your finger?'	P172;Par 03 (E-pub) P210,Par 04 (Paperback)
35. The local hobbits stared in amazement, and then sprang to their feet and shouted for Barliman. All the company drew away from Pippin and Sam, who found themselves left alone in a comer, and eyed darkly and doubtfully from a distance. It was plain that many people regarded them now as the companions of a travelling magician of unknown powers and purpose.	P172;Par 01 (E-pub) P210,Par 02 (Paperback)
36. He came forward into the firelight; but most of the company backed away,, even more perturbed than before. They were not in the least satisfied by his explanation that he had crawled away quickly under the tables after he had fallen. Most of the Hobbits and the Men of Bree went off then and there in a huff, having no fancy for further entertainment that evening. One or two gave Frodo a black look and departed muttering among themselves. The Dwarves and the two or three strange Men that still remained got up and said good night to the landlord, but not to Frodo and his friends.	P173;Par 06 (E-pub) P211,Par 13 (Paperback)
37. 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 Butterbur's fat face of concealing dark designs.	P173;Par 12 (E-pub) P212,Par 07 (Paperback)
38. A stout little fellow with red cheeks. But this one is taller than some and fairer than most, and he has a cleft in his chin: perky chap with a bright eye	P177;Par 09 (E-pub) P218,Par 04 (Paperback)
39. 'I am tired and very worried, and it's a long tale.	P180;Par 03 (E-pub) P220,Par 07 (Paperback)
40. 'I am Aragorn son of Arathorn; and if by life or death I can save you, I will.'	P183;Par 02 (E-pub) P224,Par 04 (Paperback)
41. In the early night Frodo woke from deep sleep, suddenly, as if some sound or presence had disturbed him.	P188;Par 01 (E-pub) P232,Par 01 (Paperback)
42. Frodo was crushed by the news.	P188;Par 08 (E-pub) P232,Par 08 (Paperback)
43. By that time the whole of Bree was buzzing with excitement.	P190;Par 04 (E-pub) P235,Par 04 (Paperback)
44. The other guests in the inn were at the doors or hanging out of the windows.	P190;Par 04 (E-pub) P235,Par 04 (Paperback)
45. The escort of children and stragglers that had followed them got tired and turned back at the South-gate.	P191;Par 08 (E-pub) P237,Par 02 (Paperback)
46. As Frodo lay, tired but unable to close his eyes,	P193;Par 06 (E-pub) P239;Par 05 (Paperback)
47. 'Very odd,' said Frodo, tightening his belt, 'considering that there is actually a good deal less of me. I hope the thinning process will not go on indefinitely, or I shall become a wraith.'	P194;Par 08 (E-pub) P241;Par 03 (Paperback)
48. Frodo felt a great weariness come over him.	P220;Par 04 (E-pub) P274;Par 06 (Paperback)
49. Glorfindel caught Frodo as he sank to the ground, and taking him gently in his arms he looked in his face with grave anxiety.	P220;Par 06 (E-pub) P275;Par 03 (Paperback)
50. The dusk of evening seemed to grow lighter about him, as if a cloud had been withdrawn. He saw his friends' faces more clearly again, and a measure of new hope and strength returned.	P221;Par 01 (E-pub) P275;Par 06 (Paperback)
51. o, he will not!' said Frodo. 'I shall not ride him, if I am to be carried off to Rivendell or anywhere else, leaving my friends behind in danger.'	P221;Par 01 (E-pub) P275;Par 06 (Paperback)
52. Frodo sat upon the horse in a dark dream.	P221;Par 05 (E-pub) P276;Par 02 (Paperback)
53. Frodo's pain had redoubled, and during the day things about him faded to shadows of ghostly grey. He almost welcomed the coming of night, for then the world seemed less pale and empty.	P222;Par 02 (E-pub) P277;Par 02 (Paperback)
54. e did not obey at once, for a strange reluctance seized him.	P223;Par 03 (E-pub) P278;Par 04 (Paperback)
55. Then at once fear and hatred awoke in him. His hand left the bridle and gripped the hilt of his sword, and with a red flash he drew it.	P223;Par 03 (E-pub) P278;Par 04 (Paperback)
56. Fear now filled all Frodo's mind.	P223;Par 07 (E-pub) P279;Par 02 (Paperback)
57. He looked forward again, and hope faded. He thought no longer of his sword. No cry came from him. He shut his eyes and clung to the horse's mane	P223;Par 06 (E-pub) P279;Par 01 (Paperback)
58. There were Nine Riders at the water's edge below, and Frodo's spirit quailed before the threat of their uplifted faces. He knew of nothing that would prevent them from crossing as easily as he had done; and he felt that it was useless to try to escape over the long uncertain path from the Ford to the edge of Rivendell, if once the Riders crossed. In any case he felt that he was commanded urgently to halt. Hatred again stirred in him, but he had no longer the strength to refuse.	P223;Par 09 (E-pub) P279;Par 04 (Paperback)
59. With a great effort Frodo sat upright and brandished his sword.	P224;Par 02 (E-pub) P279;Par 05 (Paperback)
60. By Elbereth and Lúthien the Fair,' said Frodo with a last effort, lifting up his sword, 'you shall have neither the Ring nor me!'	P224;Par 06 (E-pub) P280;Par 04 (Paperback)
61. Where's Sam?' Frodo asked at length. 'And are the others all right?'	P225;Par 06 (E-pub) P285;Par 07 (Paperback)
62. Where's Sam?' Frodo asked at length. 'And are the others all right?'	P225;Par 06 (E-pub) P285;Par 07 (Paperback)
63. 'I haven't any courage to keep up,' said Frodo,	P229;Par 05 (E-pub) P290;Par 07 (Paperback)
64. The colour had come back to his face, and his eyes were clear, and fully awake and aware. He was smiling, and there seemed to be little wrong with him. But to the wizard's eye there was a faint change just a hint as it were of transparency, about him, and especially about the left hand that lay outside upon the coverlet.

65. He is not half through yet, and to what he will come in the end not even Elrond can foretell. Not to evil, I think. He may become like a glass filled with a clear light for eyes to see that can.'	P229;Par 07 (E-pub) P291;Par 02 (Paperback)
66.

68. As the evening drew on, Frodo woke up again, and he found that he no longer felt in need of rest or sleep, but had a mind for food and drink, and probably for singing and story-telling afterwards.	P231;Par 02 (E-pub) P293;Par 03 (Paperback)
69. Looking in a mirror he was startled to see a much thinner reflection of himself than he remembered: it looked remarkably like the young nephew of Bilbo who used to go tramping with his uncle in the Shire; but the eyes looked out at him thoughtfully.	P231;Par 02 (E-pub) P293;Par 03 (Paperback)
70. He was delighted to have found so polite a listener; for Frodo showed no sign of weariness and made no attempt to change the subject, though actually he soon got rather lost among the strange names of people and places that he had never heard of before.	P234;Par 09 (E-pub) P298;Par 05 (Paperback)
71. `Yes,' answered Frodo. 'I would rather see him than all the towers and palaces in the world.'	P235;Par 07 (E-pub) P299;Par 05 (Paperback)
72. He was shaken by a sudden shame and fear; and he felt a great reluctance to reveal the Ring, and a loathing of its touch. He wished he was far away.	P254;Par 01 (E-pub) P321;Par 08 (Paperback)
73. I almost wish that my adventures were not over, and that I could go with him when his day comes.'	P254;Par 10 (E-pub) P323;Par 01 (Paperback)
74. Frodo, even in that fair house, looking out upon a sunlit valley filled with the noise of clear waters, felt a dead darkness in his heart.	P272;Par 08 (E-pub) P348;Par 03 (Paperback)
75. The first part of their journey was hard and dreary, and Frodo remembered little of it, save the wind.	P287;Par 02 (E-pub) P367;Par 01 (Paperback)
76. `Dangerous or not, a real sunrise is mighty welcome,' said Frodo, throwing back his hood and letting the morning light fall on his face.	P288;Par 01 (E-pub) P368;Par 03 (Paperback)
77. Frodo has a better head for that sort of thing.'	P288;Par 04 (E-pub) P368;Par 06 (Paperback)
78. Frodo looked troubled.	Really? Why??
79. I wish I was back there,' he said. `But how can I return without shame – unless there is indeed no other way, and we are already defeated? '	P299;Par 06 (E-pub) P384;Par 06 (Paperback)
80. Frodo shuddered with disgust at the touch of the dark unclean water on his feet.	P306;Par 03 (E-pub) P394;Par 02 (Paperback)
81. He had begun to shake off the terror of the clutching arm, and suddenly he felt extremely hungry.	P314;Par 06 (E-pub) P403;Par 07 (Paperback)
82. Frodo's spirits had risen for a while after his escape, and after food and a draught of the cordial; but now a deep uneasiness, growing to dread, crept over him again. Though he had been healed in Rivendell of the knife-stroke, that grim wound had not been without effect. His senses were sharper and more aware of things that could not be seen. One sign of change that he soon had noticed was that he could see more in the dark than any of his companions, save perhaps Gandalf. And he was in any case the bearer of the Ring: it hung upon its chain against his breast, and at whiles it seemed a heavy weight. He felt the certainty of evil ahead and of evil following; but he said nothing. He gripped tighter on the hilt of his sword and went on doggedly.	P316;Par 03 (E-pub) P406;Par 03 (Paperback)
83. As the road climbed upwards` Frodo's spirits rose a little; but he still felt oppressed, and still at times he heard, or thought he heard, away behind the Company and beyond the fall and patter of their feet, a following footstep that was not an echo.	P318;Par 09 (E-pub) P410;Par 01 (Paperback)
84. It was indeed a kingly gift. But now his thoughts had been carried away from the dark Mines, to Rivendell, to Bilbo, and to Bag End in the days while Bilbo was still there. He wished with all his heart that he was back there, and in those days, mowing the lawn, or pottering among the flowers, and that he had never heard of Moria, or mithril – or the Ring.	P322;Par 05 (E-pub) P414;Par 04 (Paperback)
85. As if it were a breath that came in through unseen doors out of deep places, dread came over him. His hands were cold and his brow damp.	P322;Par 06 (E-pub) P414;Par 05 (Paperback)
86. `It looks like a tomb,' muttered Frodo, and bent forwards with a curious sense of foreboding, to look more closely at it.	P323;Par 09 (E-pub) P416;Par 03 (Paperback)
87. Suddenly, and to his own surprise, Frodo felt a hot wrath blaze up in his heart.	P329;Par 01 (E-pub) P423;Par 01 (Paperback)
88. One for the Shire! ' cried Aragorn. ` The hobbit's bite is deep! You have a good blade, Frodo son of Drogo!	P329;Par 02 (E-pub) P423;Par 02 (Paperback)
89. I can only say that hobbits are made of a stuff so tough that I have never met the like of it. Had I known, I would have spoken softer in the Inn at Bree!	P331;Par 09 (E-pub) P427;Par 01 (Paperback)
90. You take after Bilbo,' said Gandalf. `There is more about you than meets the eye, as I said of him long ago.'	P332;Par 01 (E-pub) P427;Par 03 (Paperback)
91. Frodo heard Sam at his side weeping, and then he found that he himself was weeping as he ran.
92. Frodo felt every step more painful and he gasped for breath.
93. Frodo sat and shivered in his wraps.
94. In spite of the fading of his sword the feeling of immediate danger did not leave Frodo, rather it grew stronger.
95. Frodo found his hearing and other senses sharpened. He could smell the trees and the trodden grass. He could hear many different notes in the rustle of the leaves overhead, the river murmuring away on his right, and the thin clear voices of birds in the sky. He felt the sun upon his face and hands when they passed through an open glade.
96. As soon as he set foot upon the far bank of Silverlode a strange feeling had come upon him, and it deepened as he walked on into the Naith: it seemed to him that he had stepped over a bridge of time into a corner of the Elder Days, and was -now walking in a world that was no more.
97. Frodo felt that he was in a timeless land that did not fade or change or fall into forgetfulness. When he had gone and passed again into the outer world, still Frodo the wanderer from the Shire would walk there, upon the grass among elanor and niphredil in fair Lothlórien.
98. Frodo stood still, hearing far off_ great seas upon beaches that had long ago been washed away, and sea-birds crying whose race had perished from the earth.
99. A s Frodo prepared to follow him, he laid his hand upon the tree beside the ladder: never before had he been so suddenly and so keenly aware of the feel and texture of a tree's skin and of the life within it. He felt a delight in wood and the touch of it, neither as forester nor as carpenter; it was the delight of the living tree itself.
100. He longed suddenly to fly like a bird to rest in the green city.
101. but Frodo ate and drank little, heeding only the beauty of the Lady and her voice.
102. fair was the music, but it did not comfort him.
103. Frodo shivered, thinking of the lawns and fountains, the clear sun and gentle rains of Lothlórien.
104. Frodo felt a sudden chill running through him and clutching at his heart; there was a deadly cold, like the memory of an old wound, in his shoulder. He crouched down, as if to hide.
105. It was with a heavy heart that Frodo saw Aragorn and Legolas climb the steep bank and vanish into the mists; but his fears proved groundless.
106. Awe and fear fell upon Frodo, and he cowered down, shutting his eyes and not daring to look up as the boat drew near.
107. The burden is heavy.
108. Suddenly he awoke from his thoughts: a strange feeling came to him that something was behind him, that unfriendly eyes were upon him.
109. His heart went suddenly cold.
110. Terror and grief shook him, seeing in his thought the mad fierce face of Boromir, and his burning eyes.
111. Hope leaped in his heart.
112. All hope left him
113. The two powers strove in him.
114. A great weariness was on him, but his will was firm and his heart lighter.
115. It would be mad and cruel to let Frodo go to Mordor.
116. But the dear silly old hobbit, he ought to know that he hasn't got to ask. He ought to know that if we can't stop him, we shan't leave him.'
117. I couldn't have a borne it, it'd have been the death of me.'
118. Frodo actually laughed. A sudden warmth and gladness touched his heart.
Sam
I listened because I couldn’t help myself, if you know what I mean. Lor bless me, sir, but I do love tales of that sort. And I believe them too, whatever Ted may say. Elves, sir! I would dearly love to see them. Couldn’t you take me to see Elves, sir, when you go?’
I tried not to, sir, but it burst out of me: I was so upset.’
Me, sir!’ cried Sam, springing up like a dog invited for a walk. ‘Me go and see Elves and all! Hooray!’ he shouted, and then burst into tears.
. Sam walked along at Frodo’s side, as if in a dream, with an expression on his face half of fear and half of astonished joy.
Leave him! I said. I never mean to. I am going with him, if he climbs to the Moon, and if any of those Black Rulers try to stop him, they’ll have Sam Gamgee to reckon with,
I don’t know how to say it, but after last night I feel different. I seem to see ahead, in a kind of way. I know we are going to take a very long road, into darkness; but I know I can’t turn back. It isn’t to see Elves now, nor dragons, nor mountains, that I want - I don’t rightly know what I want: but I have something to do before the end, and it lies ahead, not in the Shire. I must see it through, sir, if you understand me.’
He had a strange feeling as the slow gurgling stream slipped by: his old life lay behind in the mists, dark adventure lay in front. He scratched his head, and for a moment had a passing wish that Mr. Frodo could have gone on living quietly at Bag End.
Sam is an excellent fellow, and would jump down a dragon’s throat to save you, if he did not trip over his own feet;
He has some sense, mind you; and when you said go alone, he said no! take someone as you can trust.’
Even so, I cannot help feeling happy; happier than I have felt for a long time.
He used to tell me tales like that, knowing how I was always one for hearing about Elves. It was Mr. Bilbo as taught me my letters. He was mighty book-learned was dear old Mr. Bilbo. And he wrote poetry. He wrote what I have just said.'
In that lonely place Frodo for the first time fully realized his homelessness and danger. He wished bitterly that his fortune had left him in the quiet and beloved Shire.
He stared down at the hateful Road, leading back westward - to his home.
All seemed quiet and still, but Frodo felt a cold dread creeping over his heart
Frodo stirred, feeling that he must break the silence: he longed to shout out aloud.
Frodo was hardly less terrified than his companions; he was quaking as if he was bitter cold, but his terror was swallowed up in a sudden temptation to put on the Ring. The desire to do this laid hold of him, and he could think of nothing else. He did not forget the Barrow, nor the message of Gandalf; but something seemed to be compelling him to disregard all warnings, and he longed to yield. Not with the hope of escape, or of doing anything, either good or bad: he simply felt that he must take the Ring and put it on his finger. He could not speak. He felt Sam looking at him, as if he knew that his master was in some great trouble, but he could not turn towards him. He shut his eyes and struggled for a while; but resistance became unbearable, and at last he slowly drew out the chain, and slipped the Ring on the forefinger of his left hand.
When Frodo came to himself he was still clutching the Ring desperately.
Your Frodo is made of sterner stuff than I had guessed, though Gandalf hinted that it might prove so.
He is not slain, and I think he will resist the evil power of the wound longer than his enemies expect.
He bitterly regretted his foolishness, and reproached himself for weakness of will; for he now perceived that in putting on the Ring he obeyed not his own desire but the commanding wish of his enemies. He wondered if he would remain maimed for life, and how they would now manage to continue their journey. He fell too weak to stand.
Before the first day's march was over Frodo's pain began to grow again, but he did not speak of it for a long time.
Frodo was restless.
He lay down again and passed into an uneasy dream, in which he walked on the grass in his garden in the Shire, but it seemed faint and dim, less clear than the tall black shadows that stood looking over the hedge.
As long as they could they avoided climbing for Frodo's sake, and because it was in fact difficult to find any way up out of the narrow dales.
I am afraid this has been too much for Frodo. I am dreadfully anxious about him
Frodo lay half in a dream, imagining that endless dark wings were sweeping by above him, and that on the wings rode pursuers that sought him in all the hollows of the hills.
Frodo felt his spirits reviving: the reminder of Bilbo's first successful adventure was heartening.
Frodo looked at the stone, and wished that Bilbo had brought home no treasure more perilous, nor less easy to pan with.
