Firefoot has been trapped in the Barrow!

But even as hope died in Sam, or seemed to die, it was turned to a new strenght. Sam's plain hobbit-face grew stern, almost grim, as the will hardened in him, and he felt through all his limbs a thrill, as if he was turning into some creature of stone and steel that neigher despair nor weariness nor endless barren miles could subdue.
One of my favorite passages is this one, when Sam is trying to judge the distance to Mt. Doom and realizes how impossible it will be... and then becomes determined to get there.
