I wanted to find it in the book, but I recall this scene from the movie as well as from a BCC radio dramatization. It is really quite moving in each of these genres.
(Which is another reason why LOTR is the masterpiece that it is....)
I love those books. I read them at least twice a year in my teen years; they were like a breath of fresh air from the dreck on tv that I was watching...can’t remember any of the stupid sitcoms, but I know those books.
On a sober note, I wonder when they’ll be banned from school libraries? The trilogy shows people doing what is right in the face of insurmountable odds, which I suppose is very subversive in a world in which you’d be wise to just do what you’re told by your betters.
