Summary
“Come into the light,” he said slowly.
“You don’t need it to see me.” The voice was so familiar, so unbearably familiar.
“Nonetheless.”
After a moment there was motion among the trees, and the firelight fell on the figure of a solitary man, his feet bare and his hair unbound, wrapped in plain grey. Finrod didn’t rise to greet him, but lifted his head and looked him up and down: the slender frame, the tension in his bearing, the features whose fineness bordered on delicacy.
“Curufinwë Atarinkë,” he said at last, giving each syllable of the name its full weight. “You look awful.”

Summary
“What do you mean by this, Kinslayer? Why you, and why me? What do you want?”
Maedhros seemed pleased to be asked. “To ask your pardon and to grant you mine.”
Thingol stood up. “This will be a short interview then; I do not give it and I will not take it.”
Maedhros looked up at him with quiet attention, but wrath was building in Thingol’s voice. “How do you have the effrontery to stand before me and declare that you, the leader of the most infamous scourge to arise among the Eldar, the chief of the Noldor invaders, the one responsible for pulling down Morgoth’s wrath on all our heads, that you, murderer of your people and your family and yourself, have something to forgive me for?”

Summary
This night was different. As happened occasionally on the border between sleep and waking, Frodo found himself suddenly dropping. But he did not catch himself with a start, safe on the soft grass of Caras Galadhon. Instead he kept falling; he plummeted through a rushing darkness and in nightmare he saw the shape from more dreadful waking: the black flame of the terror of Moria, Durin’s Bane.

Summary
“My dear Mr. Baggins, you cannot possibly imagine I have brought you across the boundaries of the sundered world, bending every law of gods and men, over land and over sea and through the fathomless heights, for your health? Well, I did, of course I did, and I’d do it again. But it was not for your own good only that I brought you here. I have been on this world a very long time, Mr. Baggins, and if there is one thing that I have learned about the Wise and the Great, it’s that they benefit from the company of hobbits, and it’s the wisest and greatest who have most need of them.”

Summary
Sweet are the summers on the plains of Yavanna Kementari, and dark hang the clusters of grapes in the Yulmanore, and red is the wine that flows from those happy vineyards. Seldom have mortals tasted such a liquor, which is poured out for the guests of kings, and carried in fair vessels by hands of their sons and their daughters, and flows freely at the great festivals of the Blessed Realm. To some it brings grief and to others gladness of heart, some it inflames to madness and some it lulls to sleep, but to all it brings, for a time, release from care; and shows forth clearly what lies hidden in the heart.
“No,” said the High King of the Noldor. “You shut up.”
