Wk12, Bk6, Ch6, SUMMARY: Many Partings
Frodo addresses the King and informs him that he wishes to go to Rivendell and then return to the Shire. Aragorn informs the Hobbit that they will depart together with Eomer in seven days to bear Thoeden back to Rohan. Arwen tells Frodo that he will have her place on the Grey Ship if he so desires when that times comes. She also gives Frodo a white gem to wear around his neck. It will, she tells him, bring him aid when the fear and the darkness trouble him.
When Eomer arrives, he calls for Gimli for they have a matter to discuss concerning the Lady of the wood. Eomer agrees that Galadriel is fair but for his part he would choose Queen Arwen. Gimli accepts this saying, "You have chosen the Evening; but my love is given to the morning."
Four days later a large company of Elves, Men, and Hobbits congregate for the departure to Edoras. En route they come to the Forest of Druadan where King Elessar announces that the Forest belongs to Ghan-buri-ghan and his folk. After the burial, everyone gathers in the Golden Hall for the great funeral feast. When the feast drew to an end, Eomer announced that his sister Eowyn would wed Faramir. After the feast the first of Many Partings takes place. Aragorn and the people of Rivendell and Lorien made ready to ride. As a parting gift Eowyn gives Merry the gift of a horn that will"set fear in the hearts of enemies and joy in the hearts of friends."
In Helm’s Deep they rest for two days and Legolas joins Gimli to see the Glittering Caves. In Isengard they meet with Treebeard and learn that Sauruman was released seven days before. Gimli and Legolas part from Aragorn and the hobbits to visit the deep places of Entwood and then to return to their own homes. As they made their way to the Gap of Rohan, Aragorn took leave of them. Six days after parting from Aragorn the dwindling company met Sauruman and Wormtongue who appear to be beggars in the wild. Saruman begs tobacco and Merry gives him what he has left in a leather pouch. Sauruman keeps the bag and issues a warning that the hobbits may "find things less good in the Southfarthing than you would like." After the two beggars went away toward the wood, the traveling companions continued into the Land of Eregion where they tarried for seven days more before bidding farewell to the fair people of Lothlorien. The remaining travelers rode with Elrond finally arriving in Rivendell.
In a small room they found Bilbo on his birthday eve sitting before a fire all alone and surrounded by papers, pens, and pencils. For many days the hobbits told Bilbo all they could remember of their journeys and adventures. Soon the hobbits felt it was time to return to the Shire. To their delight Gandalf had decided to accompany them, at least as far as Bree. He wanted to see Butterbur. Bilbo gave Frodo his notes, papers and diary asking him to complete the writings with Sam’s help. Frodo accepted and promised to return soon so the old hobbit could run over it. The next day when they said farewell to the last homely house, Elrond took Frodo aside and told him, "...maybe you will not need to come back, unless you come very soon. For about this time of the year, when the leaves are gold before they fall, look for Bilbo in the woods of the Shire. I will be with him."
