Who would have fallen?

I would posit the same would happen if he saw Frodo's star glass, Gandalf's staff, Boromir's horn, etc.

I agree with you alatar, he can't seem to keep his hands off of everything. For that reason, I believe he would be the first to succumb to the power of the Ring.

You're not the only one Lyta. If ANY of the others succumbed to the power of the Ring, I would have flipped because I liked them all.
