Mithadan softened his tone. "I'm sure that you did as best you could. I suppose that we all considered the possibility that we would not be able to convince your kin to leave. After all, we can give them no good reason why they should. We cannot tell them that Gondolin will come under attack in less then 48 hours. Beleriand is almost entirely under the domination of Morgoth and they cannot conceive of leaving this fair city for any place that they know of. And even if we did decide to depart and the King allowed them to do so, a big if, how could we transport them all?"

Mithadan rubbed his eyes wearily. His short sleep had given him little rest. "How can we transport them all? We have not planned well or thought matters through. Angara cannot carry a thousand Hobbits. And it is too late for them to simply walk out of the Echoriath into Beleriand. This area must be rife with the Enemy by now. Our plan has gone awry."

Child looked at Mithadan with dismay...
