The
star
shone
out
briefly
and
faded
again
.
Then
silently
a
great
doorway
was
outlined
,
though
not
a
crack
or
joint
had
been
visible
before
.
Slowly
it
divided
in
the
middle
and
swung
outwards
inch
by
inch
,
until
both
doors
lay
back
against
the
wall
.
Through
the
opening
a
shadowy
stair
could
be
seen
climbing
steeply
up
;
but
beyond
the
lower
steps
the
darkness
was
deeper
than
the
night
.
The
Company
stared
in
wonder
.
"
I
was
wrong
after
all
,
"
said
Gandalf
,
"
and
Gimli
too
.
Merry
,
of
all
people
,
was
on
the
right
track
.
The
opening
word
was
inscribed
on
the
archway
all
the
time
!
The
translation
should
have
been
:
Say
"
Friend
"
and
enter
.
I
had
only
to
speak
the
Elvish
word
forfriend
and
the
doors
opened
.
Quite
simple
.
Too
simple
for
a
learned
lore-master
in
these
suspicious
days
.
Those
were
happier
times
.
Now
let
us
go
!
"
He
strode
forward
and
set
his
foot
on
the
lowest
step
.
But
at
that
moment
several
things
happened
.
Frodo
felt
something
seize
him
by
the
ankle
,
and
he
fell
with
a
cry
.
Bill
the
pony
gave
a
wild
neigh
of
fear
,
and
turned
tail
and
dashed
away
along
the
lakeside
into
the
darkness
.
Sam
leaped
after
him
,
and
then
hearing
Frodo
's
cry
he
ran
back
again
,
weeping
and
cursing
.
The
others
swung
round
and
saw
the
waters
of
the
lake
seething
,
as
if
a
host
of
snakes
were
swimming
up
from
the
southern
end
.

Out
from
the
water
a
long
sinuous
tentacle
had
crawled
;
it
was
pale-green
and
luminous
and
wet
.
Its
fingered
end
had
hold
of
Frodo
's
foot
and
was
dragging
him
into
the
water
.
Sam
on
his
knees
was
now
slashing
at
it
with
a
knife
.
The
arm
let
go
of
Frodo
,
and
Sam
pulled
him
away
,
crying
out
for
help
.
Twenty
others
arms
came
rippling
out
.
The
dark
water
boiled
,
and
there
was
a
hideous
stench
.
"
Into
the
gateway
!
Up
the
stairs
!
Quick
!
"
shouted
Gandalf
leaping
back
.
Rousing
them
from
the
horror
that
seemed
to
have
rooted
all
but
Sam
to
the
ground
where
they
stood
,
he
drove
them
forward
.

They
were
just
in
time
.
Sam
and
Frodo
were
only
a
few
steps
up
,
and
Gandalf
had
just
begun
to
climb
,
when
the
groping
tentacles
writhed
across
the
narrow
shore
and
fingered
the
cliff-wall
and
the
doors
.
One
came
wriggling
over
the
threshold
,
glistening
in
the
starlight
.
Gandalf
turned
and
paused
.
If
he
was
considering
what
word
would
close
the
gate
again
from
within
,
there
was
no
need
.
Many
coiling
arms
seized
the
doors
on
either
side
,
and
with
horrible
strength
,
swung
them
round
.
With
a
shattering
echo
they
slammed
,
and
all
light
was
lost
.
A
noise
of
rending
and
crashing
came
dully
through
the
ponderous
stone
.
Sam
,
clinging
to
Frodo
's
arm
,
collapsed
on
a
step
in
the
black
darkness
.
"
Poor
old
Bill
!
"
he
said
in
a
choking
voice
.
"
Poor
old
Bill
!
Wolves
and
snakes
!
But
the
snakes
were
too
much
for
him
.
I
had
to
choose
,
Mr.
Frodo
.
I
had
to
come
with
you
.
"
They
heard
Gandalf
go
back
down
the
steps
and
thrust
his
staff
against
the
doors
.
There
was
a
quiver
in
the
stone
and
the
stairs
trembled
,
.
