The Road
goes ever on and on - Fellowship of the Ring |
| TODAY IN MIDDLE-EARTH September 21, 3021, S.R. 1421 Frodo and Samwise set out from Hobbiton. Rose and little Elanor remain at Bag End. "On September the twenty-first they set out together, Frodo on the pony that had borne him all the way from Minas Tirith, and was now called Strider; and Sam on his beloved Bill. It was a fair golden morning, and Sam did not ask where they were going: he thought he could guess. They took the Stock Road over the hills and went towards the Woody End, and they let their ponies walk at their leisure." |
