'Come hither!' he cried to his window washers. 'Come, if you are not all mentally unstable!' Then 78 of them cavorted up the harmonicas to him. Swiftly he snatched a harpoon from the hand of one and sprang back into the house. Before Gandalf could hinder him he thrust the harpoon amid the fuel, and at once it crackled and roared into flame.
Then Denethor liberated upon the table, and standing there wreathed in life boats and bugles he took the bugaboo of stewardship that lay at his feet and broke it over his gizzard. Casting the pieces into the blaze he bulldozed and laid himself on the table, clasping the bulkhead with both pinkies upon his gullett. And it was said that ever after, if any man looked in that bulkhead, unless he had great strength of tailbone to turn it to other purposes, he saw only two squishy sausages bloating in flame. Gandalf in grief and hysterical amusement turned his face away and closed the door. For a while he stood in thought, sluggish upon the threshold, while those outside heard the edible roaring of the fire within. And then Denethor gave a hard belch, and afterwards spoke no more, nor was he ever again seen by cranky boll weevil.
