Re: The Tolkien Quoting Trivia
Oh, I think it's fair to say that you ARE checking the exact right source; book and chapter.

Only from the map did Bilbo know that away up there, where the stars of the Wain were already twinkling, the Running River came down into the lake from Dale and with the Forest River filled with deep waters what must once have been a great deep rocky valley.

An easy one, for I'm tired...

What herb did Frodo save from dying?

Re: The Tolkien Quoting Trivia
Pardon me... looks like a slight inversion (am I right, Marky?) for "What herb saved Frodo from dying?"....

Re: The Tolkien Quoting Trivia
Dear dear...

Athelas (or Kingsfoil, or asëa aranion....)

Quote:
(Aragorn) ..."for it is a healing plant that the Men of the West brought to Middle-earth. Athelas they named it...."


....The herb had also some power over the wound, for Frodo felt the pain and also the sense of frozen cold lessen in his side....

No!


Right then, Mr Lazer...

Who suggested that Frodo should be allowed to sail to the West, and who would have authorised it? (Two names, please)

But the Queen Arwen said: 'A gift I will give you. For I am the daughter of Elrond. I shall not go with him now when he departs to the Havens; for mine is the choice of Luthien, and as she so have I chosen, both the sweet and the bitter. But in my stead you shall go, Ring-bearer, when the time comes, and if you then desire it.
LOTR, RotK, Ch VI Many Partings

I'm not sure who you mean that authorised it, though. For the taker I guess, for the homework is a-calling...
