Meneltarmacil is a guest of Tom Bombadil.
Grima, bored half to death by the lack of action, waited until Saruman dozed off, then crept downstairs to the food storage areas, intent on getting some of that wine Saruman had been refusing to let him try. He opened the door and...

"AAAAAIIIEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!"

This was answered by an equally loud "WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAT?!" from upstairs as Saruman charged downstairs.

"Snooping around in my private wine pantry, Grima? I should have guessed," the wizard remarked, and started bonking Grima on the head with his staff again.

"Master, I (OUCH!) think you should (OUCH!) look at those (OUCH!) ghost things!" Wormtongue explained.

There was, however, nothing to worry about. Saruman's wine had been some of the truly strong stuff, and the Barrow-Wights were passed out on the floor and snoring loudly.

"Get the big vacuum cleaner, Grima," Saruman commanded as he took one of the bottles of wine, chugged the entire thing in one gulp, and tossed the empty bottle out the window.

Grima brought the vacuum cleaner, and Orth-Tank set off Northwest after the Wights had been vacuumed up and dumped outside.
