Stevie smiled at the girl. "Yeah. Absolutely."

"And my point," Maeve said, fixing her Concerned Catholic Mother eyes on Iris, "is that all this gallivanting around, seeing a new person every week, avoiding adulthood, isn't healthy.

The Road goes ever on and on, Out from the door where it began. Now far ahead the Road has gone, Let others follow it who can! Let them a journey new begin, But I at last with weary feet, Will turn towards the lighted inn, My evening-rest and sleep to meet.

First of all, before they had eaten or even shed their cloaks, the hobbits went in search of Bilbo. They found him all alone in his little room. Bilbo was sitting in a chair before a small bright fire, he looked very old, but peaceful, and sleepy. He opened his eyes and looked up as they came in. 'Hullo, hullo!' he said. 'So you've come back?'

'Precious, precious, precious!' Gollum cried. 'My Precious! O my Precious!' And with that, even as his eyes were lifted up to gloat on his prize, he stepped too far, toppled, wavered for a moment on the brink, and then with a shriek he fell. Out of the depths came his last wail Precious, and he was gone.

Still far away, forty miles at least, they saw Mount Doom, its feet founded in ashen ruin, its huge cone rising to a great height, where its reeking head was swathed in cloud. Its fires were now dimmed, and it stood in smouldering slumber, as threatening and dangerous as a sleeping beast.

'My lords,' said Gandalf, 'listen to the words of the Steward of Gondor before he died: You may triumph on the fields of the Pelennor for a day, but against the Power that has now arisen there is no victory. I do not bid you despair, as he did, but to ponder the truth in these words.'

Then Gandalf said: 'Let us enter! For it is only in the coming of Aragorn that any hope remains for the sick that lie in the House.

Over the field rang his clear voice calling:
'Death! Ride, ride to ruin and the world's ending!'

In rode the Lord of the Nazgûl. A great black shape grown to a vast menace of despair. In rode the Lord of the Nazgûl, under the archway that no enemy ever yet had passed, And all fled before his face. All save one, There waiting, silent and still in the space before the Gate, sat Gandalf upon Shadowfax.

What does all this mean? Thought Merry. They have all left me now. They have all gone to some doom: Gandalf and Pippin to war in the East, and Sam and Frodo to Mordor; and Strider and Legolas and Gimli to the Paths of the Dead. But my turn will come soon enough, I suppose.
