“So it ends as I guessed it would.” His thought said, even as it fluttered away: and it laughed a little within him ere it fled, almost gay it seemed to be casting off at last all doubt and care and fear. And then even as it winged away into forgetfulness it heard voices, and they seemed to be crying in some forgotten world far above.
“The Eagles are coming! The Eagles are coming!”
For one moment more Pippin’s thought hovered. “Bilbo!” it said. “ But no! That is in his tale, long long ago. This is my tale, and it has ended now. Good-bye!” And his thought fled far away and his eyes saw no more.
