I think we've been abandoned Overtaxed! Did you find a lot of stuff from The White Rider didn't get any discussion?
Yes! I liked that part too. Gandalf wasn't going to put up with any of that nonsense. Hehehe. I bet that the Ring of Fire that Gandalf has had a major part in that. Also, I wonder how long it would have taken for the Rohhirim to start breaking up....some supporting Eomer and some supporting Theoden/Wormtongue.
It certainly seems like we've been abandoned! But Sam Cree is away for the week and Hair and her horse took a fall last weekend so she's been busy elsewhere.
We got a little off topic on The White Rider and didn't seem to get back on before the new chapter. One part of The White Rider that I find interesting is how Gandalf described how Saruman the traitor really screwed up!
'And is not that strange? Nothing that we have endured of late has seemed so grievous as the treason of Isengard. Even reckoned as a lord and captain Saruman has grown very strong. He threatens the Men of Rohan and draws off their help from Minas Tirith, even as the main blow is approaching from the East. Yet a treacherous weapon is ever a danger to the hand. Saruman also had a mind to capture the Ring, for hiimself, or at least to snare some hobbits for his evil purposes. So between them our enemies have contrived only to bring Merry and Pippin with marvellous speed, and in the nick of time, to Fangorn, where otherwise they would never have come at all!'I always like it when the bad guys shoot themselves in the foot!
