Helen: If you're lurking...we miss you! [img]smilies/frown.gif[/img] Hurry back!

______________________________

Cram yesterday, cram today, and blimey, if it don't look like cram again tomorrow. Strider says it'll be sparse rations till we get to Weathertop. Still no sign of any birds or other animals. The terrain is getting more rugged the closer we get to those hills...and I'm pretty sure Strider is taking most roundabout and rocky path possible.

--------------------

The hobbits looked anxiously at the distant hills. Sam looked up into the pale sky, fearing to see hawks or eagles hover over them with bright unfriendly eyes. "You do make me feel uncomfortable and lonesome, Strider!" he said.

"What do you advise us to do?" asked Frodo.

"I think," answered Strider slowly, as if he was not quite sure, "I think the best thing is to go as straight eastward from here as we can, to make for the line of hills, not for Weathertop. There we can strike a path I know that runs at their feet; it will bring us to Weathertop from the north and less openly. Then we shall see what we shall see."
