Cue 5:  Regrets made right

Foresworn

“I do not know what part you have played in this mischief, but help now!  Go after those two young hobbits, and guard them at the least, even if you cannot find Frodo.”

FOTR, Aragorn to Boromir at Amon Hen, at the breaking of the Fellowship.

            What have I done?  How could I have allowed—It—to have taken me in that manner?  How could I have so betrayed Frodo?  How could I have broken faith in this way, here on the borders of Gondor itself, my own land?

            No wonder the Council granted the Hobbit the right to serve as the Ringbearer.  Certainly I have proved untrustworthy for such a role.  Now—to set things as right as I can.  If I can no longer protect Frodo, I can at least do so for these two hapless souls, his kinsmen!

            “For Gondor!”
