Those who have not yet had audience please may you leave your names with my Lord Steward, and I will see that issues are made right.”
Even Rohan has a Steward?!

“Éowyn had begun tending her uncle in his need and caught a glimpse of hatred on Grima’s face as he watched Théodred speak to the crowd. The pain in her stomach intensified, now only to be joined by a pain in her heart as she recalled the look in Gandalf’s eyes before he swept from the hall. She swallowed it all, burying it beneath the mountainous duty she owed to her now-ashen faced and clearly exhausted uncle.”

uhoh. I am surprised 5 months pass before the Battle of the Isen. Perhaps Théodred and Éomer were good at postponing it. Which is good. I should be saying they did a good job!

Unseen by either, Grima retreated from a recessed alcove near the entrance and stole away back into the relative darkness of the hall.
[uhoh. At least Éomer managed to come—or did he not? Wormtongue supposedly intercepted Théodred’s plea for Grimbold or Éomer to come to the Fords.]

Sooo frustrating to just have to stand back and watch such things happen! She and Theodred are grieving for a man who is both gone and not gone, and for the loss of the integrity of their kingdom, and for the trouble of an ally they didn’t assuage. What a terrible time.

It certainly is. These chapters have been easy to write but they are a part of Eowyn's journey where she will find unexpected happiness with Faramir. She and Theodred really have a lot to deal with. *sigh*

Thanks for reading and writing!
