Quickly Gandalf strode across the white paved court. In the midst, stood a dead tree. Pippin glanced at it as he hurried after Gandalf. It looked mournful, he thought, and he wondered why the dead tree was left in this place where everything else was well tended. Seven stars and seven stones and one white tree. The words that Gandalf had murmured came back into his mind.

'For myself,' said Faramir, 'I would see the White Tree in flower again in the courts of the kings, and the Silver Crown return, and Minas Tirith in peace. I do not love the bright sword for its sharpness, nor the arrow for its swiftness, nor the warrior for his glory. I love only that which they defend: the city of the Men of Númenor.'

'Sméagol won't go,' hissed Gollum. 'He's very tired, and this hobbit's not nice, not nice at all. Sméagol won't grub for roots and carrots and-taters. What's taters, precious, eh, what's taters?' 'Po-ta-toes,' said Sam 'I'll cook you some taters one of these days. I will: fried fish and chips served by S. Gamgee. You couldn't say no to that.'

'We used to hear tales from the South, when Sméagol was young, long ago. O yes, we used to tell lots of tales in the evening, sitting by the banks of the Great River, in the willow-lands, when the River was younger too, gollum, gollum.' He began to weep and mutter. The hobbits waited patiently.

'You're full of wickedness and mischief, Gollum. You will have to come with us, that's all, while we keep an eye on you. One good turn deserves another.' said Frodo. 'Yess, yes indeed,' said Gollum sitting up. 'Nice hobbits! We will come with them. Find them safe paths in the dark, yes we will.'

'Did you see them again, Mr. Frodo?' asked Sam. 'No,' said Frodo. 'I've heard nothing, and seen nothing, for two nights now.' 'Nor me,' said Sam. 'Grrr! Those eyes did give me a turn! But perhaps we've shaken him off at last, the miserable slinker. Gollum! I'll give him gollum in his throat, if ever I get my hands on his neck.'

'Will you, Aragorn, take the Orthanc-stone and guard it? It is a dangerous charge.' asked Gandalf. 'Dangerous indeed, but not to all,' said Aragorn. 'There is one who may claim it by right. For this assuredly is the Palantir of Orthanc from the treasury of Elendil, set here by the Kings of Gondor. I will take it.'

"Gandalf!' I said at last, but my voice was only a whisper. Did he say: "Hullo, Pippin! This is a pleasant surprise!"? No, indeed! He said: "Get up, you tom-fool of a Took! Where, in the name of wonder, in all this ruin is Treebeard? I want him. Quick!"

'Welcome, my lords, to Isengard!' he said. 'We are the doorwardens. Meriadoc, son of Saradoc is my name; and my companion, who, alas! is overcome with weariness' - here he gave the other a dig with his foot - 'is Peregrin, son of Paladin, of the House of Took.'

'Helm! Helm!' the Riders shouted. 'Helm is arisen and comes back to war. Helm for Théoden King!' And with that shout the king came. His horse was white as snow, golden was his shield, and his spear was long. 'Forth Eorlingas!' With a cry and a great noise they charged, and they drove through the hosts of Isengard as a wind among grass.

'Ride, Théoden!' Gandalf said. 'Ride to Helm's Deep! I must leave you for a while. Shadowfax must bear me now on a swift errand. Turning to Aragorn and Éomer and the men of the king's household, he cried: 'Keep well the Lord of the Mark, till I return. Await me at Helm's Gate! Farewell!'

'That is shadowfax. He is the chief of the Mearas, lords of horses, and not even Théoden King of Rohan, has ever looked on a better. Does he not shine like silver, and run as smoothly as a swift stream? He has come for me: the horse of the White Rider. We are going to battle together.' cried Gandalf.

Gimli's axe leaped from his grasp and fell ringing on the ground. The sword of Aragorn, stiff in his motionless hand, blazed with a sudden fire. Legolas gave a great shout and shot an arrow high into the air: it vanished in a flash of flame.
'Mithrandir!' he cried. 'Mithrandir!'

'To Isengard!' the Ents cried in many voices 'To Isengard!'

'Hrum, now,' answered the voice; 'well, I am an Ent, or that's what they call me. Yes, Ent is the word. The Ent, I am, you might say, in your manner of speaking. Fangorn is my name according to some, Treebeard others make it. Treebeard will do.'

So the Company went on their long way, down the wide hurrying waters, borne ever southwards. The sun grew misty as the day grew old, until it gleamed in a pale sky like a high white pearl. Then it faded into the West, and dusk came early, followed by a grey and starless night.
