The Last Debate

"You are not fit for such a journey," said Aragorn. "But do not be ashamed. If you do no more in this war, you have already earned great honour. Peregrin shall go and represent the Shirefolk; and do not grudge him his chance of peril, for though he has done as well as his fortune allowed him, he has yet to match your deed." --J.R.R. Tolkien, The Return of the King, Book Five, "The Black Gate Opens"

An Honest Fool

Canon. Pippin sat with his knees drawn up and the ball between them.... He gave a gasp and struggled; but he remained bent, clasping the ball with both hands. Closer and closer he bent, and then became rigid; his lips moved soundlessly for a while. Then with a strangled cry he fell back and lay still. --J.R.R. Tolkien, The Two Towers, Book Three: "The Palantir"
