I see two Gandalfs and church bell. And two half lions chasing
a bull rat each over the lake. (Rorschach tests seen by "Illogic")

9. "Not far from the road-meeting they came on the huge hulk of a tree: it
was still alive and had leaves on the small branches that it had put out
round the broken stumps of its long-fallen limbs; but it was hollow, and
could be entered by a great crack on the side away from the road." Is it
that tree?
9b. Do I get kudo points from someone for making verbatim Tolkien quotes
about trees?
<no, scratch that, i didn't mean it as an entry in the question tree>
Korppi.

Longshooting is fun and painless.
If you get it right, you look like a hero.
If you get it wrong, it was only a longshot anyway. :))

The trees I remembered without needing to consult the book. The precise
wording of the quotes, no. Nor is failing to memorize the books
blasphemous, for that would render meaningless the re-reading of them - and
that *would* be bordering on blasphemy, save for those enlightened to such a
degree that blasphemy applies to them like darkness apply to the the maid
Arien.
