"In this year on March 1st came at last the Passing of King Elessar. It is said that the beds of Meriadoc and Peregrin were set beside the bed of the great king. Then Legolas built a grey ship in Ithilien, and sailed down Anduin and so over Sea; and with him, it is said, went Gimli the Dwarf. And when that ship passed an end was come in Middle-earth of the Fellowship of the Ring."
Well I suppose if you are Tony Randall I wouldn't have a point... ;^)
She didn't know they (Legolas and Gimli) were leaving for the Havens and they didn't know where to find her (Arwen).
Geee.... when I was looking for the passages about Gimli passing, I saw this... This is mighty unfortunate for you...
Dís was the daughter of Thráin II. She is the only dwarf-woman named in these histories. It was said by Gimli that there are few dwarf-women, probably no more than a third of the whole people. They seldom walk abroad except at great need, They are in voice and appearance, and in garb if they must go on a journey, so like to the dwarf-men that the eyes and ears of other peoples cannot tell them apart. This has given rise to the foolish opinion among Men that there are no dwarf-women, and that the Dwarves 'grow out of stone'.
I guess in dwarf households... romance is most definately a "lights out" activity!
Or else it explains why dwarves like to live in caves and mountains. Lots of dark places to, er, reproduce.
But that much is obvious, seeing Gimli's reaction to the beauty of Galadriel. He TRULY had never seen anything like her.
HELP! G'NAD! Bring your axe.....
Why do I have this mental picture of Celeborn as Basil Fawlty trying to escape his wife?
