Hmmm. I think I do see where you are going with that.

A friend once told me that the reason Frodo and Sam both called on Elvish incantations was because the ones that they used were ones that struck into the heart of goodness, ad infinitum de nauseam. (to infinity of nausea) The person didn't understand the Elvish...

I think that it is some good force working here, at the very least opening words and ideas to the Hobbits, if not actually using their minds. Is it Galadriel? I can't even begin to assume here, so all I know is that the Good forces - whoever they may be - allowed power, true power, that was backed with forces greater than the enshrouding darkness, was brought into play by the humble halflings.

Why?
