A general sidenote, though it does not directly concern this chapter: Tolkien's penchant for descriptive scenery over descriptions of persons parallels his artwork. His paintings and drawings are primarily of scenery, and when he does include figures, they are not nearly as well done. His landscapes, however, are excellent!
