Fordim, this was a very clever, very fitting end for Shelob. A superb bit of plotting, inspired.
What do we do now for an encore, though?
And since we are on the subject of vacations, at least Aman's and Aylwen's, let's moved down the alphabet to Bethberry's. I will be away--really away--from August 7 to the 23, in the UK. There will be a laptop near me and likely some hotel access, so I hope to be able to keep up with maybe a post a week. Does Oxford house any unpublished papesr of Tolkien's?
Darash has some wounds from the spiny leg hairs to tend to, but I will come up with more than that for a next post. I hope.
