I don't have a lot to say about this chapter "A Short Rest" so I will make my comments..... short. I do like the light heartedness of the elves in this chapter. The comment "Don't dip your beard in the foam father, it is long enough without watering it!" always makes me chuckle. But I have often wondered what Gandalf meant when he said, "Valleys have ears..." is he implying that there is danger lurking so close to Rivendell? What danger could be out there? The Nazgul?
