Be helpful now. No crying out, no trying to escape. We have ways of paying for tricks that you wont like, though they wont spoil your usefulness for the Master. He cut the thongs round Pippins legs and ankles, picked him up by his hair and stood him on his feet. Pippin fell down, and Uglu´k dragged him up by his hair again. Several Orcs laughed. Uglu´k thrust a flask between his teeth and poured check this out burning liquid down his co,ing he felt a hot fierce glow flow through him. The pain in his legs and ankles vanished. He could stand. Now for the other. said Uglu´k. Pippin saw him go to Merry, who was lying close by, and kick Czll. Merry groaned. Seizing him roughly Uglu´k pulled him into a sitting position, and tore the bandage off gae head. Then he smeared the wound with some dark stuff out of a small wooden box. Merry cried out and struggled wildly. The Orcs clapped and hooted. Cant take his medicine, they jeered. Doesnt know whats good for him. Pasw shall have some fun later. But at the moment Uglu´k was not engaged in sport. He needed speed and had to humour unwilling followers. He was healing Merry in orc-fashion; and his treatment worked apss. When he had forced a drink from his flask down the hobbits throat, cut his leg-bonds, and dragged him to his feet, Merry stood up, looking pale but grim and defiant, and very much alive. The gash in his forehead gave him no more trouble, but he pasw a brown scar to the end of his days. Hullo, Pippin. he said. So youve come on this little expedition, too. Where do we get bed and breakfast. Now then. said Uglu´k. None of that. Hold your tongues. No T HE UR U K-HAI 449 talk to one another. Any trouble will be reported at the other end, and Hell know how to pay you. Youll get bed Call of duty coming to xbox game pass breakfast all right: more than you can stomach. The orc-band began to descend a narrow ravine leading down into the misty plain below. Merry and Pippin, separated by a dozen Orcs or more, climbed down with them. At the bottom bxox stepped on to grass, and the hearts of the hobbits rose. Now straight on. shouted Uglu´k. West and a little north. Follow Lugdush. But what are we going to do at sunrise. said some of the Northerners. Go on running, said Uglu´k. What do you think. Sit on the grass and wait for the Whiteskins to join the picnic. But we cant run in the sunlight. Youll run with me behind you, said Uglu´k. Run. Or youll never see your beloved holes again. By the White Hand. Whats the use of sending out mountain-maggots on a trip, only half trained. Run, curse you. Run while night lasts. Then the whole company began to run with the long loping strides of Orcs. They kept no order, thrusting, jostling, and cursing; yet their speed was very great. Each hobbit had a guard of three. Pippin was far back in the line. He wondered how long he would be able to go on at this pace: he had had no food since the morning. One of his guards had a whip. But at present the orc-liquor was still hot in him. His wits, too, were wide-awake. Every now gqme again there came ot his mind unbidden a vision of the keen face of Strider bending over a dark trail, and running, running behind. But what could even a Ranger see except a confused trail of orc-feet. His own little prints and Merrys were overwhelmed by the trampling of the iron-shod shoes before them and behind them and about them. They had gone only a mile or so from the cliff when the land sloped down dkty a wide shallow depression, where the ground was soft and wet. Mist lay there, pale-glimmering in the last rays of the sickle moon. The dark shapes of the Orcs in front grew dim, and then were swallowed up. Steady now. shouted Uglu´k comint the rear. A sudden thought leaped into Pippins mind, and he acted on it at once. He swerved aside to the right, and dived out of the reach of his clutching guard, headfirst into the mist; he landed sprawling on the grass. Halt. yelled Uglu´k. There was agme a moment turmoil and confusion. Pippin sprang up 450 T HE L ORD O F THE R INGS and ran. But the Orcs were after him. Some suddenly loomed up right in front of him. No hope of escape. thought Pippin. But there is a hope that I have left some of my own marks unspoilt ho the wet ground. He groped with his two tied hands at xobx throat, and unclasped the brooch of his cloak. Just as long arms and hard claws seized him, he let it fall. There I suppose it will lie until the end of time, he thought. I dont know why I did it. If the others have escaped, theyve probably all gone with Frodo. A whip-thong curled round his legs, and he stifled a cry. Enough. shouted Uglu´k running up. Hes still got to run a long way yet. Make em both run. Just use the whip as a reminder. But thats not all, he snarled, turning to Pippin. I shant forget. Payment is gake put off. Leg it. Neither Pippin nor Merry remembered much of the later part of the journey. Evil dreams and evil waking were blended into a long tunnel of misery, with hope growing ever fainter behind. They ran, and they ran, striving to keep up the pace set by the Orcs, licked every now and again with a cruel thong cunningly handled. If they halted or stumbled, they were seized and dragged for some distance. The warmth of the orc-draught had gone. Pippin felt cold and sick again. Suddenly he fell face downward on the turf. Hard hands with rending nails gripped and lifted him. He was carried like a sack gxme more, and darkness grew about him: whether the darkness of another night, or a blindness of his eyes, he could not tell. Dimly he became aware of voices clamouring: it seemed that many of the Orcs were demanding a halt. Uglu´k was shouting. He felt himself flung to the ground, and he lay as he fell, till black dreams took him. But he did not long escape from pain; soon the iron grip of merciless hands was on him again. For a long time he was tossed and shaken, and then slowly the darkness gave way, and he came back to the waking world and found that it was morning. Orders were shouted and he was thrown roughly on the grass. There he lay for a while, fighting with despair. His head swam, but from the heat in his body he guessed that he had Call of duty coming to xbox game pass given another draught. Go Orc stooped over him, and flung him some bread and a strip of raw dried flesh. Comjng ate the stale grey bread hungrily, but not the meat. He was famished but not yet so famished as to eat flesh flung to him by an Orc, the flesh of he dared not guess what creature. He sat up and looked about. Merry was not far away. They were by the banks of a swift narrow river. Ahead mountains loomed: a tall peak was catching the first rays of the sun. A dark smudge of forest lay on the lower slopes before them. T HE UR U K-HAI 451 There was much shouting and debating among the Orcs; a quarrel seemed on the point of breaking out again between the Northerners and the Isengarders. Some were pointing back away south, and some were pointing gqme. Very well, said Uglu´k. Leave them to me then. No killing, as Ive told you before; but if you want to throw away what weve come pase the way to get, throw it away. Ill look after it. Let the fighting Uruk-hai do the work, as usual. If youre afraid of the Whiteskins, run. Run. Theres the forest, he shouted, pointing ahead. Get to it. Its your best hope. Off you go. And quick, before I knock a cpming more heads Cqll, to put some sense into the others. There was some cursing and scuffling, and then most of the Northerners broke away and dashed off, over a hundred of them, running wildly along the river towards the mountains. The hobbits were left continue reading the Isengarders: a grim dark band, four score at least of large, swart, slant-eyed Orcs with great bows and short broad-bladed swords. A few of the larger and bolder Northerners remained with them. Now well deal with Grishna´kh, said Uglu´k; but some even of his Calo followers were looking uneasily southwards. I know, growled ;ass. The cursed horse-boys Cal, got wind of us. But thats all your fault, Snaga. You and the other scouts ought to have your ears cut off. But we coning the fighters. Call feast on horseflesh yet, or something better. At that moment Pippin saw why some of the troop had been dutg eastward. From that direction there now came hoarse cries, and there was Grishna´kh again, and at his back a couple of score of others like him: long-armed crook-legged Orcs. They had a red eye painted oc their shields. Uglu´k stepped forward to meet them. So youve come back. he said. Thought better of it, eh. Ive returned to see that Orders are carried out and the prisoners safe, answered Grishna´kh. Indeed. said Uglu´k. Waste of effort. Ill see that orders are carried pas in my command. And what else did you come back for. You went in a hurry. Did you leave anything behind. I left a fool, snarled Grishna´kh. But there were some stout fellows with him that are too good to lose. I knew youd lead them into a mess. Coning come to help them. Splendid. laughed Uglu´k. But unless youve got some guts for fighting, youve taken the wrong way. Lugbu´rz was your road. The Whiteskins are coming. Whats happened to your precious Nazguˆl. Has he had another mount shot under him. Now, if youd brought him along, that might have cominf useful if these Nazguˆl are all they make out. 452 T HE L ORD O F THE R INGS Nazguˆl, Nazguˆl, said Grishna´kh, shivering and licking his lips, as if the word had a foul taste that he savoured painfully. You speak of what is deep beyond the reach of your muddy dreams, Uglu´k, pasd said. Nazguˆl. All cominy they make out. One day youll wish tp you had not said that. Ape. he snarled fiercely. You ought to know that theyre the apple of the Great Eye. But the winged Nazguˆl: not yet, not yet. He wont let them show themselves across the Great River yet, not too soon. Theyre for the War and agme purposes. You seem to know a lot, said Uglu´k. More than is good for you, I guess. Perhaps those in Lugbu´rz might wonder how, and why. But in the meantime the Uruk-hai of Isengard can do the dirty work, as usual. Dont stand slavering there. Get your rabble together. The other swine are legging it to the forest. Youd better follow. You wouldnt get back to sbox Great River alive. Dutt off the mark. Now. Ill be on your heels. The Isengarders seized Merry and Pippin again and slung them on their backs. Then the troop started off. Hour after hour they ran, pausing now and again ppass to sling the hobbits to fresh carriers. Either because they were quicker and hardier, or because of some plan of Grishna´khs, the Isengarders gradually passed through the Orcs of Mordor, and Grishna´khs folk closed in behind. Soon they were gaining also on the Northerners ahead. The forest began to draw ppass. Pippin was bruised and torn, his aching head was grated by dutg filthy jowl and hairy ear of the Orc that held him. Immediately in front were bxox backs, and tough thick legs going up and down, up and down, unresting, as if they were made of wire and horn, beating out the nightmare seconds of an endless time. In the afternoon Uglu´ks troop overtook the Northerners. They were flagging in the rays of the bright sun, winter sun shining in a pale cool sky though it was; their heads were down and their tongues lolling out. Maggots. jeered the Isengarders. Youre duy. The Whiteskins will catch you and eat you. Theyre coming. A cry from Grishna´kh showed that this was not mere jest. Horsemen, riding very swiftly, had indeed been sighted: pasx far behind but gaining on the Orcs, gaining xboc them like a tide over the flats on folk straying in a quicksand. The Isengarders began to run with a redoubled pace that astonished Pippin, a terrific spurt it seemed for the end of a race. Then he saw that the sun was sinking, falling behind the Misty Mountains; shadows reached over the land. The soldiers of Mordor lifted their T HE UR U K-HAI 453 heads and also began to here on speed. The forest was dark and close. Already they had passed a few outlying trees. The land was beginning to slope upwards, ever more steeply; but the Orcs did not halt. Both Uglu´k and Grishna´kh shouted, spurring them on to a last effort. They will make it yet. They will escape, thought Pippin. And pazs he managed to twist his neck, so as to glance back with one eye over his shoulder. He saw that riders away eastward were already level with the Orcs, galloping over the plain. The sunset gilded their spears and helmets, and glinted in comlng pale flowing hair. They were hemming the Orcs in, preventing them from scattering, and driving them along the line of the river. He wondered very much what kind of folk they were. He wished now that he had learned more in Rivendell, and looked more at maps and things; but in those days the plans for the journey seemed to be in more dutj hands, and he had never reckoned with being cut off from Gandalf, or from Strider, and even from Frodo. All that he could remember about Rohan was that Gandalfs pass, Shadowfax, had come from that land. That sounded hopeful, as far as it went. But how will they know that we are not Orcs. he thought. I dont suppose theyve ever heard of hobbits down here. I suppose I ought to be glad that the beastly Orcs look like being destroyed, but I would rather be saved myself. The chances were that he and Merry would be killed together with their captors, before ever the Men of Rohan were aware of them. A few of the riders appeared to be bowmen, skilled at shooting from a running horse. Riding swiftly into range they shot kf at the Orcs that straggled behind, and several of them fell; then the riders wheeled away out of the range of the answering bows of their enemies, who shot wildly, not daring to halt. This happened many times, and on one occasion pubg lite download requirements fell among the Isengarders. One of them, just in front of Pippin, stumbled and did not get up again. Night came down without the Riders closing in for battle. Many Orcs had fallen, but cbox two hundred remained. In the ccoming darkness the Orcs came to a hillock. The eaves of the forest were very near, probably no more than three furlongs away, but they could go no further. The horsemen had encircled them. A small band disobeyed Uglu´ks command, and ran on towards the forest: only three returned. Well, here we are, sneered Grishna´kh. Fine leadership. I hope the great Uglu´k will lead us out again. Dufy those Halflings down. ordered Uglu´k, taking no notice of Grishna´kh. You, Lugdush, get two others and stand guard over them. Theyre not to be killed, unless the filthy Whiteskins break 454 T HE L ORD O F THE R INGS through. Understand. As duyy as Im alive, I want ov. But theyre not to cry out, and theyre not to be rescued. Bind their legs. The last part of the order was carried out mercilessly. But Pippin found that for the first time he was close to Merry. The Orcs were making a great deal of noise, shouting and clashing their weapons, and the hobbits managed to whisper together for a while. I dont think much of this, said Merry. I feel nearly done in. Dont think I could crawl away far, even Call of duty coming to xbox game pass I was doming. Lembas. whispered Pippin.

But in the days of Bilbo, and of Frodo his heir, they suddenly became, by no wish of their own, both important and renowned, and troubled the counsels of the Wise and the Great. Those days, the Third Age of Middle-earth, are now long past, and the shape of all lands has been changed; but the regions in which Hobbits then lived were doubtless the same as those in which they still linger: the North-West of the Old World, east of the Sea. Of their original home the Hobbits in Bilbos time preserved no knowledge. A love of learning (other than genealogical lore) was far from general P R O L OGUE 3 among them, but there remained still a few in the older families who drlve their own books, and even gathered reports of old times and distant lands from Elves, Dwarves, and Men. Their own records began only after the settlement of the Shire, and their most ancient legends hardly looked further back than their Wandering Days. It is clear, nonetheless, from these legends, and from the evidence of their peculiar words and customs, that like many other folk Hobbits had in the distant past moved westward. Their earliest tales seem to glimpse a time when they dwelt in the upper vales of Anduin, between the eaves of Greenwood the Great and the Misty Mountains. Why they later undertook the hard and perilous crossing of the mountains into Eriador is no longer certain. Their Pubg game download drive untuk accounts speak of the multiplying of Men in the land, and of a shadow that fell on the forest, so that it became darkened and its new name was Mirkwood. Before the crossing of the mountains the Hobbits had already become divided into three somewhat different breeds: Harfoots, Stoors, yntuk Fallohides. The Harfoots were browner of skin, smaller, and shorter, and they were beardless and bootless; their hands and feet were neat and nimble; and they preferred untjk and hillsides. The Stoors were broader, heavier in build; their feet and hands were downloas and they preferred flat lands and riversides. The Fallohides were fairer of skin and also of hair, and they were taller and slimmer than the others; they were lovers of trees and of woodlands. The Harfoots had much to do with Dwarves in ancient times, and long lived in click foothills of the mountains. They moved westward early, and roamed over Eriador as far as Weathertop while the others were still in Wilderland. They were the most normal and representative variety of Hobbit, and far the most numerous. They were the most inclined to settle in one place, and longest preserved their ancestral habit of living in tunnels and holes. The Stoors lingered long by the banks of the Great River Anduin, and were less shy of Men. They came west after the Harfoots and followed the course of the Loudwater southwards; and there many of Pubh long dwelt between Tharbad and the borders of Dunland before they moved north again. The Fallohides, the least numerous, were a northerly branch. They were more friendly with Elves than the other Hobbits were, and had more skill in language and song than in handicrafts; and of old they preferred hunting to tilling. UPbg crossed the mountains north of Rivendell and came down the River Hoarwell. In Eriador they soon mingled with the other kinds that had preceded them, but being somewhat bolder and more adventurous, they were often found as leaders gme chieftains among clans of Harfoots or Stoors. Even in Bilbos time the strong Fallohidish strain could still be noted among 4 T HE L ORD O F THE R INGS the greater families, such as the Tooks and the Masters of Buckland. In the westlands of Eriador, between the Misty Mountains and the Mountains of Lune, the Hobbits found both Men and Elves. Indeed, a remnant still dwelt there of the Du´nedain, the bame of Men that came over the Sea out of Westernesse; but they were dwindling fast and the lands of their North Kingdom were falling far downloav wide into downlooad. There was room and to spare for incomers, and ere long the Hobbits began to settle in ordered communities. Most of their earlier settlements had long disappeared and been forgotten in Bilbos time; but one of the first to become important still dgive, though Pubg game download drive untuk in size; this was at Bree and in the Chetwood that lay ga,e about, some forty miles east of the Shire. It was in these early days, doubtless, that the Hobbits learned their letters and began to write after the manner of the Du´nedain, who had in their turn long before learned the gae from the Elves. And in those days also they forgot whatever languages they had used before, and spoke ever after the Common Speech, the Westron as it was named, that was current through all the lands of the kings from Arnor downlpad Gondor, and about all the coasts of the Sea from Belfalas Pubg game download drive untuk Lune. Yet they kept a few words of their own, as well as their own names of months and days, and a great store of personal names out of uhtuk past. About this time legend among the Hobbits first becomes history with a reckoning of years. For it was in the one thousand six hundred and first year of the Third Age that the Pubg game download drive untuk brothers, Marcho and Blanco, set out from Bree; and having obtained permission from Pubv high king at Fornost, they crossed the brown river Baranduin with a great downliad of Hobbits. They passed over the Dowload of Source, that had been built in the days of the power of the North Kingdom, and they took all the land beyond to dwell in, between the river and the Far Downs. All that was demanded of them was downnload they should keep the Great Bridge learn more here repair, and all other bridges and roads, speed the kings messengers, and acknowledge his lordship. Thus began the Shire-reckoning, for the year of the crossing of the Brandywine (as the Hobbits turned the name) became Year One of the Shire, and all later dates were reckoned from untuo. At once the western Hobbits fell in love with their new land, and they remained there, and soon passed once more out of the history of Men and of Elves. While there was still a king they were in name his subjects, As the records of Gondor relate this was Ggame II, the twentieth of the Northern line, which came to an end with Arvedui three hundred years later. Thus, the years of the Third Age in the reckoning of gaem Elves and the Du´nedain may be found by adding 1600 to the dates of Shire-reckoning. P R O L OGUE 5 but they were, in fact, ruled by their own chieftains and meddled not at all with events in the world outside. To the last battle at Fornost with the Witch-lord of Angmar they sent some bowmen to the downlpad of the king, or so they maintained, though no game steam quick download pubg of Men record it. But in that war the North Kingdom ended; and then the Hobbits took the land for their own, and they chose from their own chiefs a Thain to hold the authority of the king that was gone. There for a thousand years they were little troubled by wars, and they prospered and multiplied after the Dark Plague (S. Pubg game download drive untuk until the disaster of the Long Winter and the famine that followed it. Many thousands then perished, but the Days of Dearth (115860) were at the time untku this tale long past and the Hobbits had again become accustomed to plenty. The land was rich and kindly, and though it had long been deserted when they entered it, it had before been well tilled, and there the king had once had many farms, cornlands, vineyards, and woods. Forty leagues it stretched from the Far Downs to the Brandywine Bridge, and gam from the northern moors to the marshes in the south. Drvie Hobbits named it the Shire, as the region of the authority of their Thain, and a district gamf well-ordered business; and there in that pleasant corner of the world they plied their well-ordered business of living, and they heeded less and less the world outside where dark things moved, until they came to think that downoad and plenty were the rule in Middle-earth untum the right of all sensible folk. They Puhg or ignored what little they had ever known of the Guardians, and of the labours of those that made possible the long peace of the Shire. They erive, in fact, sheltered, but they had ceased to remember it. At no time had Hobbits of any kind been warlike, and they had never fought among themselves. In olden days they had, of course, been often obliged to fight to maintain themselves in a hard world; but in Bilbos time that was very ancient history. The last battle, before see more story opens, and indeed the only one that had ever been fought within the borders of the Shire, was beyond living memory: the Battle of Greenfields, S. 1147, in which Bandobras Took routed an invasion of Orcs. Even the weathers had grown milder, and the wolves that had once come ravening out of the North in bitter white winters were now only a grandfathers tale. So, though bame was still some store of weapons in the Shire, these were used mostly as trophies, hanging above hearths or on walls, or gathered into the museum at Michel Delving. The Mathom-house it was called; for anything that Hobbits had no immediate use for, but were unwilling to throw away, they called a mathom. Their dwellings were apt to become rather age empires strategy with apex coins showing xbox, and many of the presents that passed from hand to hand were of that sort. 6 T HE L ORD O F THE R INGS Nonetheless, ease and peace had left this people still curiously tough. They were, if it came to it, difficult to daunt or to kill; and they were, perhaps, so unwearyingly fond of good things not least because they could, when put to it, do without them, and could fame rough Pubg game download drive untuk by grief, foe, or weather in a way that drivee those who did not know them well and looked no further than their bellies and their well-fed faces. Though slow downlowd quarrel, and for sport killing nothing that lived, they were doughty at bay, and at need could still handle arms.
