[Nerwen]

Elladan looked down at the Ring-bearer, taken aback to find such spite and fury in so small a being. The other hobbits he had met had been much more courteous.

"Are their women different?" he muttered to himself. "Or is this the kind of hobbit that Saruman the White chooses? If so, what does that say about him?"

What really perturbed him, however, were the comments that Gildor Inglorion had made. “Gildor,” he said, “you are my own kinsman (though I cannot at the moment recall exactly where you fit in the family tree). Surely you know the deep hatred I bear towards Orcs? Surely you realize how hard it is for me to let one of these foul creatures live? If you see my usual conduct as suspicious, then truly the Ring is clouding your mind."

EDIT: fixed bolding.
