There is a shot of Eowyn in the caves with sword in hand being approached by an orc that you can see if you watch the TTT preview that got packaged with the theatrical DVD for FoTR. I guess this scene was cut out but perhaps it will resurface in a special edition of TTT.<P>As for Eowyn's line about women knowing they can die on swords, I don't think it's meant to imply that all the women of Rohan were good fighters. It had much more to do with building Eowyn's character. The line was adapted from the book.<P><I>"And those who have not swords can still die upon them. Would you have the folk of Gondor gather you herbs only, when the Dark Lord gathers armies?"</I>: Eowyn - Book 6 - Chapter 5.<P>H.C.
