^{“Then Eomer son of Eomund, Third Marshal of Riddermark, let Gimli the Dwarf Gloin’s son warn you against foolish words. You speak evil of that which is fair beyond the reach of your thought,  &  only little wit can excuse you.“     Eomer’s eyes blazed,  &  the Men of Rohan murmured angrily,  &  closed in, advancing their spears. “I would cut off your head, beard  &  all, Master Dwarf, if it stood but a little higher from the ground,” said Eomer     “He stands not alone,” said Legolas, bending his bow  &  fitting an arrow with hands that moved quicker than sight. “You would die before your stroke fell.”}
