"
I
can
not
say
,
"
answered
Gandalf
.
"
It
depends
on
many
chances
.
But
going
straight
,
without
mishap
or
losing
our
way
,
we
shall
take
three
or
four
marches
,
I
expect
.
It
can
not
be
less
than
forty
miles
from
West-door
to
East-gate
in
a
direct
line
,
and
the
road
may
wind
much
.
"
After
only
a
brief
rest
they
started
on
their
way
again
.
All
were
eager
to
get
the
journey
over
as
quickly
as
possible
,
and
were
willing
,
tired
as
they
were
,
to
go
on
marching
still
for
several
hours
.
Gandalf
walked
in
front
as
before
.
In
his
left
hand
he
held
up
his
glimmering
staff
,
the
light
of
which
just
showed
the
ground
before
his
feet
;
in
his
right
he
held
his
sword
Glamdring
.
Behind
him
came
Gimli
,
his
eyes
glinting
in
the
dim
light
as
he
turned
his
head
from
side
to
side
.
Behind
the
dwarf
walked
Frodo
,
and
he
had
drawn
the
short
sword
,
Sting
.
No
gleam
came
from
the
blades
of
Sting
or
of
Glamdring
;
and
that
was
some
comfort
,
for
being
the
work
of
Elvish
smiths
in
the
Elder
Days
these
swords
shone
with
a
cold
light
,
if
any
Orcs
were
near
at
hand
.
Behind
Frodo
went
Sam
,
and
after
him
Legolas
,
and
the
young
hobbits
,
and
Boromir
.
In
the
dark
at
the
rear
,
grim
and
silent
,
walked
Aragorn
.

The
passage
twisted
round
a
few
turns
,
and
then
began
to
descend
.
It
went
steadily
down
for
a
long
while
before
it
became
level
once
again
.
The
air
grew
hot
and
stifling
,
but
it
was
not
foul
,
and
at
times
they
felt
currents
of
cooler
air
upon
their
faces
,
issuing
from
half-guessed
openings
in
the
walls
.
There
were
many
of
these
.
In
the
pale
ray
of
the
wizard
's
staff
,
Frodo
caught
glimpses
of
stairs
and
arches
and
of
other
passages
and
tunnels
,
sloping
up
,
or
running
steeply
down
,
or
opening
blankly
dark
on
either
side
.
It
was
bewildering
beyond
hope
of
remembering
.
Gimli
aided
Gandalf
very
little
,
except
by
his
stout
courage
.
At
least
he
was
not
,
as
were
most
of
the
others
,
troubled
by
the
mere
darkness
in
itself
.
Often
the
wizard
consulted
him
at
points
where
the
choice
of
way
was
doubtful
;
but
it
was
always
Gandalf
who
had
the
final
word
.
The
Mines
of
Moria
were
vast
and
intricate
beyond
the
imagination
of
Gimli
,
Gloin
's
son
,
dwarf
of
the
mountain-race
though
he
was
.
To
Gandalf
the
far-off
memories
of
a
journey
long
before
were
now
of
little
help
,
but
even
in
the
gloom
and
despite
all
windings
of
the
road
he
knew
whither
he
wished
to
go
,
and
he
did
not
falter
,
as
long
as
there
was
a
path
that
led
towards
his
goal
.
"
Do
not
be
afraid
!
"
said
Aragorn
.
There
was
a
pause
longer
than
usual
,
and
Gandalf
and
Gimli
were
whispering
together
;
the
others
were
crowded
behind
,
waiting
anxiously
.
"
Do
not
be
afraid
!
I
have
been
with
him
on
many
a
journey
,
if
never
on
one
so
dark
;
and
there
are
tales
of
Rivendell
of
greater
deeds
of
his
than
any
that
I
have
seen
.
He
will
not
go
astray-if
there
is
any
path
to
find
.
He
has
led
us
in
here
against
our
fears
,
but
he
will
lead
us
out
again
,
at
whatever
cost
to
himself
.
He
is
surer
of
finding
the
way
home
in
a
blind
night
than
the
cats
of
Queen
Beruthiel
.

It
was
well
for
the
Company
that
they
had
such
a
guide
.
They
had
no
fuel
nor
any
means
of
making
torches
;
in
the
desperate
scramble
at
the
doors
many
things
had
been
left
behind
.
But
without
any
light
they
would
soon
have
come
to
grief
.
There
were
not
only
many
roads
to
choose
from
,
there
were
also
in
many
places
holes
and
pitfalls
,
and
dark
wells
beside
the
path
in
which
their
passing
feet
echoed
.
There
were
fissures
and
chasms
in
the
walls
and
floor
,
and
every
now
and
then
a
crack
would
open
right
before
their
feet
.
The
widest
was
more
than
seven
feet
across
,
and
it
was
long
before
Pippin
could
summon
enough
courage
to
leap
over
the
dreadful
gap
.
The
noise
of
churning
water
came
up
from
far
below
,
as
if
some
great
mill-wheel
was
turning
in
the
depths
.
"
Rope
!
"
muttered
Sam
.
"
I
knew
I
'd
want
it
,
if
I
had
n't
got
it
!
"
