Splendid quote Boromir and while it no longer worked on Theoden it eventually worked on Treebeard. I do think that Theoden's "we will have peace" is so dramatic..... thinking about it this is a very skilfully handled scene. The main focus is on Saruman but he sets up the next piece of drama - the palantir,(another knotty problem in the "technology or magic" debate). I like to think of them as Elvish precursors of the internet
