said Théoden 'yet not all unguessed. But say to Denethor that even if Rohan itself felt no peril still we would come to his aid. But we have suffered much loss in our battles with Saruman the traitor and we must still think of our frontier to the north and east as his own tidings make clear. So great a power as the Dark Lord seems now to wield might well contain us in battle before the City and yet strike with great force across the River away beyond the Gate of Kings.'But we will speak no longer counsels of prudence. We will come. The weapontake was set for the morrow. When all is ordered we will set out. Ten thousand spears I might have sent riding over the plain to the dismay of your foes. It will be less now I fear; for I will not leave my strongholds all unguarded. Yet six thousands at the least shall ride behind me,cheap vans shoes uk. For say to Denethor that in this hour the King of the Mark himself will come down to the land of Gondor though maybe he will not ride back. But it is a long road and man and beast must reach the end with strength to fight. A week it may be from tomorrow's morn ere you hear the cry of the Sons of Eorl coming from the North.'A week!' said Hirgon. 'If it must be so it must. But you are like to find only ruined walls in seven days from now unless other help unlooked-for comes. Still you may at the least disturb the Orcs and Swarthy Men from their feasting in the White Tower.''At the least we will do that' said Théoden. 'But I myself am new-come from battle and long journey and I will now go to rest. Tarry here this night. Then you shall look on the muster of Rohan and ride away the gladder for the sight and the swifter for the rest. In the morning counsels are best and night changes many thoughts.With that the king stood up and they all rose. 'Go now each to your rest.' he said 'and sleep well. And you Master Meriadoc I need no more tonight. But be ready to my call as soon as the Sun is risen.''I will be ready' said Merry 'even if you bid me ride with you on the Paths of the Dead.''Speak not words of omen!' said the king. 'For there may be more roads than one that could bear that name. But I did not say that I would bid you ride with me on any road. Good night!''I won't be left behind to be called for on return!' said Merry. 'I won't be left I won't.' And repeating this over and over again to himself he fell asleep at last in his tent.He was wakened by a man shaking him. 'Wake up wake up. Master Holbytla!' he cried; and at length Merry came out of deep dreams and sat up with a start. It still seemed very dark he thought.'What is the matter,discount vans shoes?' he asked,vans sk8.'The king calls for you.''But the Sun has not risen yet' said Merry.'No and will not rise today Master Holbytla. Nor ever again one would think under this cloud. But time does not stand still though the Sun be lost. Make haste!'Flinging on some clothes Merry looked outside. The world was darkling. The very air seemed brown and all things about were black and grey and shadowless; there was a great stillness. No shape of cloud could be seen unless it were
