I have filled in my save of August 26, 4:14 pm in response to Diorwyn.
Eckthelion is very angry. He clearly recognizes that treasonous intent lies behind the rumor linking Finduilas, and by implication his own family, to the forces that formerly supported Melkor and Sauron.
This is particularly true, since he himself is fighting a battle against Sauron who has taken up residence in nearby Mordor. The people of Gondor may know nothing about the Ring, but they already know that Sauron is the enemy. And to suggest that the Steward would link his family with one whose blood is tainted in this respect is beyond all comprehension....at least to Eckthelion.
