In a hole in the ground there lived a hobbit.
Not a nasty, dirty, wet hole,
filled with the ends of worms and an oozy smell,
nor yet a dry, bare sandy hole with nothing in it
to sit down on or to eat:
it was a hobbit-hole, and that means comfort.
It had a perfectly round door like a porthole,
painted green,
with a shiny yellow brass knob in the exact middle.
The door opened on to a tube-shaped hall like a tunnel:
a very comfortable tunnel without smoke,
with panelled walls, and floors tiled and carpeted,
provided with polished chairs.
-- J.R.R. Tolkien |

Character Bio:
| Last Ruling Steward of Gondor,
Denethor held a long dislike for Gandalf, and it may have hindered
him. Upon Denethor's hearing of Boromir's death, he fell into a deep
depression, and his last days were blackened. Even though the swearing
in of Pippin as a Swordthain of Gondor cheered him some, it was not
enough to save him. Denethor ordered his own execution, after hearing
of Faramir's illness after his encounter with a Nazgul. Denethor had
intended to burn both himself and Faramir in the pyre, but Faramir
was saved by Pippin, Gandalf, and Beregond. It is supposed that the
vision that Denethor saw in the Palantir also contributed to his eventual
suicide. |
