Today in Middle-earth
April 19, 3018 (S.R. 1418)
1. The Conspirators at work.
(determined from text)
... [Pippin tells about how the Conspirators organized and watched over Frodo] ”'…you have obviously been planning to go and saying farewell to all your haunts all this year since April. We have constantly heard you muttering: "Shall I ever look down into that valley again, I wonder", and things like that… …And all those close talks with Gandalf….'
... [Merry continues] '…We have been terrified that you might give us the slip, and go off suddenly, all on your own like he did. Ever since this spring we have kept our eyes open, and done a good deal of planning on our own account. You are not going to escape so easily…!'
... [Pippin] '...You must go—and therefore we must, too. Merry and I are coming with you. Sam… …would jump down a dragon's throat to save you... ...but you will need more than one companion in your dangerous adventure....'
... [Merry] '…That is why we have decided to come. We know the Ring is no laughing matter; but we are going to do our best to help you against the Enemy… …I have known about the existence of the Ring for years—before Bilbo went away… …I kept my knowledge to myself, till this Spring when things got serious. Then we formed our conspiracy; and as we were serious, too, and meant business, we have not been too scrupulous. You are not a very easy nut to crack, and Gandalf is worse...
......[Sam was] our chief investigator... ...our collector of information! And he collected a lot, I can tell you, before he was finally caught. After which, I may say, he seemed to regard himself as on parole, and dried up.'”
We have been there and back again.
