again�察�the sooner we get going the better。 Can you walk��'
`Yes�察�I can walk��' said Frodo�察�getting up slowly。 'I am not hurt Sam。 Only I feel very tired�察�and
I've a pain here。' He put his hand to the back of his neck above his left shoulder。 He stood up�察�and it
looked to Sam as if he was clothed in flame�此�his naked skin was scarlet in the light of the lamp
above。 Twice he paced across the floor。
`That's better��' he said�察�his spirits rising a little。 `I didn't dare to move when I was left alone�察�or
one of the guards came。 Until the yelling and fighting began。 The two big brutes�此�they quarrelled�察�I
think。 Over me and my things。 I lay here terrified。 And then all went deadly quiet�察�and that was
worse。'
`Yes�察�they quarrelled�察�seemingly��' said Sam。 There must have been a couple of hundred of the
dirty creatures in this place。 A bit of a tall order for Sam Gamgee�察�as you might say。 But they've
done all the killing of themselves。 That's lucky�察�but it's too long to make a song about�察�till we're out
of here。 Now what's to be done�拭�You can't go walking in the Black Land in naught but your skin�察�
Mr。 Frodo。'
`They've taken everything�察�Sam��' said Frodo。 `Everything I had。 Do you understand�拭�
_Everything��_' He cowered on the floor again with bowed head�察�as his own words brought home to
him the fullness of the disaster�察�and despair overwhelmed him。 'The quest has failed Sam。 Even if
we get out of here�察�we can't escape。 Only Elves can escape。 Away�察�away out of Middle´earth�察�far
away over the Sea。 If even that is wide enough to keep the Shadow out。'
`No�察�_not_ everything�察�Mr。 Frodo。 And it hasn't failed�察�not yet。 I took it�察�Mr。 Frodo�察�begging
your pardon。 And I've kept it safe。 It's round my neck now�察�and a terrible burden it is�察�too。' Sam
fumbled for the Ring and its chain。 `But I suppose you must take it back。' Now it had e to it�察�
Sam felt reluctant to give up the Ring and burden his master with it again。
`You've got it��' gasped Frodo。 `You've got it here�拭�Sam�察�you're a marvel��' Then quickly and
strangely his tone changed。 `Give it to me��' he cried�察�standing up�察�holding out a trembling hand。
`Give it me at once� �You can't have it��'
'All right�察�Mr。 Frodo��' said Sam�察�rather startled。 'Here it is��' Slowly he drew the Ring out and
passed the chain over his head。 `But you're in the land of Mordor now�察�sir�察�and when you get out�察�
you'll see the Fiery Mountain and all。 You'll find the Ring very dangerous now�察�and very hard to
bear。 If it's too hard a job�察�I could share it with you�察�maybe��'
`No�察�no��' cried Frodo�察�snatching the Ring and chain from Sam's hands。 `No you won't�察�you
thief��' He panted�察�staring at Sam with eyes wide with fear and enmity。 Then suddenly�察�clasping the
Ring in one clenched fist�察�he stood aghast。 A mist seemed to clear from his eyes�察�and he passed a
hand over his aching brow。 The hideous vision had seemed so real to him�察�half bemused as he was
still with wound and fear。 Sam had changed before his very eyes into an orc again�察�leering and
pawing at his treasure�察�a foul little creature with greedy eyes and slobbering mouth。 But now the
vision had passed。 There was Sam kneeling before him�察�his face wrung with pain�察�as if he had been
stabbed in the heart�察�tears welled from his eyes。
'O Sam��' cried Frodo。 `What have I said�拭�What have I done�拭�Forgive me� �After all you have
done。 It is the horrible power of the Ring。 I wish it had never�察�never�察�been found。 But don't mind me�察�
Sam。 I must carry the burden to the end。 It can't be altered。 You can't e between me and this
doom。'
'That's all right�察�Mr。 Frodo��' said Sam�察�rubbing his sleeve across his eyes。 `I understand。 But I
can still help�察�can't I�拭�I've got to get you out of here。 At once�察�see� �But first you want some clothes
and gear and then some food。 The clothes will be the easiest part。 As we're in Mordor�察�we'd�察�best
dress up Mordor´fashion�察�and anyway there isn't no choice。 It'll have to be orc´stuff for you�察�Mr。
Frodo�察�I'm afraid。 And for me too。 If we go together�察�we'd best match。 Now put this round you��'
Sam unclasped his grey cloak and cast it about Frodo's shoulders。 Then unslinging his pack he
laid it on the floor。 He drew Sting from its sheath。 Hardly a flicker was to be seen upon its blade。 `I
was forgetting this�察�Mr。 Frodo��' he said。 `No�察�they didn't get everything� �You lent me Sting�察�if you
remember�察�and the Lady's glass。 I've got them both still。 But lend them to me a little longer�察�Mr。
Frodo。 I must go and see what I can find。 You stay here。 Walk about a bit and ease your legs。 I
shan't be long。 I shan't have to go far。'
`Take care�察�Sam��' said Frodo。 `And be quick� �There may be orcs still alive�察�lurking in wait。'
'I've got to chance it��' said Sam。 He stepped to the trap´door and slipped down the ladder。 In a
minute his head reappeared。 He threw a long knife on the floor。
`There's something that might be useful��' he said。 'He's dead�此�the one that whipped you。 Broke
his neck�察�it seems�察�in his hurry。 Now you draw up the ladder�察�if you can�察�Mr。 Frodo�察�and don't you
let it down till you hear me call the password。 _Elbereth_ I'll call。 What the Elves say。 No orc
would say that。'
Frodo sat for a while and shivered�察�dreadful fears chasing one another through his mind。 Then
he got up�察�drew the grey elven´cloak about him�察�and to keep his mind occupied�察�began to walk to
and fro�察�prying and peering into every corner of his prison。
It was not very long�察�though fear made it seem an hour at least�察�before he heard Sam's voice
calling softly from below�此�_Elbereth�察�Elbereth_。 Frodo let down the light ladder。 Up came Sam�察�
puffing�察�heaving a great bundle on his head。 He let it fall with a thud。
`Quick now。 Mr。 Frodo��' he said。 `I've had a bit of a search to find anything small enough for the
likes of us。 We'll have to make do。 But we must hurry。 I've met nothing alive�察�and I've seen nothing
but I'm not easy。 I think this place is being watched。 I can't explain it�察�but well�此�it feels to me as if
one of those foul flying Riders was about�察�up in the blackness where he can't be seen。'
He opened the bundle。 Frodo looked in disgust at the contents�察�but there was nothing for it�此�he
had to put the things on�察�or go naked。 There were long hairy breeches of some unclean beast´fell�察�
and a tunic of dirty leather。 He drew them on。 Over the tunic went a coat of stout ring´mail�察�short
for a full´sized orc�察�too long for Frodo and heavy。 About it he clasped a belt�察�at which there hung a
short sheath holding a broad´bladed stabbing´sword。 Sam had brought several orc´helmets。 One of
them fitted Frodo well enough�察�a black cap with iron rim�察�and iron hoops covered with leather upon
which the evil Eye was painted in red above the beaklike nose´guard。
`The Morgul´stuff�察�Gorbag's gear�察�was a better fit and better made��' said Sam�察 �but it wouldn't do�察�
I guess�察�to go carrying his tokens into Mordor�察�not after this business here。 Well�察�there you are�察�Mr。
Frodo。 A perfect little orc�察�if I may make so bold´at least you would be�察�if we could cover your face
with a mask�察�give you longer arms�察�and make you bow´legged。 This will hide some of the tell´tales。'
He put a large black cloak round Frodo's shoulders。 `Now you're ready� �You can pick up a shield as
we go。'
'What about you�察�Sam��' said Frodo。 `Aren't we going to match��'
`Well�察�Mr。 Frodo�察�I've been thinking��' said Sam。 'I'd best not leave any of my stuff behind�察�and
we can't destroy it。 And I can't wear orc´mail over all my clothes�察�can I�拭�I'll just have to cover up。'
He knelt down and carefully folded his elven´cloak。 It went into a surprisingly small roll。 This
he put into his pack that lay on the floor。 Standing up�察�he slung it behind his back�察�put an orc´helm
on his head�察�and cast another black cloak about his shoulders。 `There��' he said。 `Now we match�察�
near enough。 And now we must be off��'
'I can't go all the way at a run�察�Sam��' said Frodo with a wry smile。 'I hope you've made inquiries
about inns along the road�拭�Or have you forgotten about food and drink��'
`Save me�察�but so I had��' said Sam。 He whistled in dismay。 'Bless me�察�Mr。 Frodo�察�but you've gone
and made me that hungry and thirsty� �I don't know when drop or morsel last passed my lips。 I'd
forgotten it�察�trying to find you。 But let me think� �Last time I looked I'd got about enough of that
waybread�察�and of what Captain Faramir gave us�察�to keep me on my legs for a couple of weeks at a
pinch。 But if there's a drop left in my bottle�察�there's no more。 That's not going to be enough for two�察�
nohow。 Don't ores eat�察�and don't they drink�拭�Or do they just live on foul air and poison��'
`No�察�they eat and drink�察�Sam。 The Shadow that bred them can only mock�察�it cannot make�此�not
real new things of its own。 I don't think it gave life to the ores�察�it only ruined them and twisted them�察�
and if they are to live at all�察�they have to live like other living creatures。 Foul waters and foul meats
they'll take�察�if they can get no better�察�but not poison。 They've fed me�察�and so I'm better off than you。
There must be food and water somewhere in this place。'
