Importuned


Bless Hobbits! What would this world be like without them? Most likely far too solemn, I suspect. Here Merry lies, newly wakened from the Black Breath, and he’s already thinking of smoking and expecting me to provide him with pipe and weed! The dear fellow!

Ah, I am so weary, but I sincerely doubt I shall be allowed to rest any time soon, not with so many lying under the same malady. Curse Sauron and his Rings! Oh, Merry, you dear, brave lad—what you have accomplished! But if you want pipeweed, I am
not your man!

This is one of my favorite scenes, and conversations. I love Aragorn's thoughts here.
