Sorry ..... that gauntlet blow must have dazed me..... no stories as such .. I only wore my cloak in private..... and did try to read LOTR sitting in the only tree in the garden - and elderly apple singularly unlike a Mallorn.....

Sounds like it should be on the Barrow-Downs forum, Helen, but I don't recall enough about it to know which it could be...

Greetings, Mithalwen! I take it the reference to a gauntlet has to do with the Chapter-by-Chapter Thread.

Aragorn is way better than Faramir! Sure Faramir might not pick up the Ring if he saw it by the roadside, but I always thought that would be darned irresponsible of him: "Hey! Look! The One Ring! Best leave that there. I hope somebody comes along and takes care of that thing before Sauron finds it. Gosh, it's getting late. I'd better get home before dad gets all angry with me for not defending the kingdom. I sure wish I were like Boromir -- he'd pick up that Ring, but that's OK cause he's my hero. . ." What a dweeb. (Hey -- Mithalwen called Aragorn a prig. My back is up. As is my ire.)

Dweeb...?
(once again, scratches head)
Mithalwen, just in case you want one, I think there's a gauntlet on the floor here somewhere... And I know where I can find a pair of pistols, I think. Where'd Bilbo the pony get off to now? While you two are settling the details, I'm going to have a glass. Y ...And hasn't ANYbody remembered something parseable about that thread? (rummages around in dusty archives, spilling wine on documents)

Ah, I see I have some catching up to do on the Strider thread! I just hope that I don’t start talking to my screen as a result!
Helen, that wouldn’t be the Much Has Changed thread, would it? About how long ago do you remember seeing the elusive topic? |

You stand between me and my lord..... Begone, if you be not deathless! For living or dark undead, I will smite you, if you touch him."

Don't worry, Maédhros - this corner of the Downs is not limited by a secret password or set up for non-"family-friendly" activities!
 (And no, Mithalwen and Fordim, I will not condone duelling on the premises! Go out to the traditional grounds if you must. ) It was merely begun to give members of a certain age a place to share their often similar experiences, since many of us have been fans of the LotR books for decades. That does not lessen the knowledge or experience of younger members or those who have come to know and love the book more recently.
