Sam could never describe in words, nor picture clearly to himself, what he felt or thought that night, though it remained in his memory as one of the chief events of his life. The nearest he ever got was to say: ‘Well, sir, if I could grow apples like that, I would call myself a gardener. But it was the singing that went to my heart, if you know what I mean.’

Frodo sat, eating, drinking, and talking with delight; but his mind was chiefly on the words spoken. He knew a little of the elf-speech and listened eagerly. Now and again he spoke to those that served him and thanked them in their own language. They smiled at him and said laughing: 'Here is a jewel among hobbits!’

‘Lord, hear me!’ he said. ​‘Now we feel the per­il that we were warned of. Have we rid­den forth to vic­to­ry, only to stand at last amazed by an old liar with hon­ey on his forked tongue? So would the trapped wolf speak to the hounds, if he could. What aid can he give to you, for­sooth? All he desires is to escape from his plight. But will you par­ley with this deal­er in treach­ery and mur­der? Remem­ber Théo­dred at the Fords, and the grave of Háma in Helm’s Deep!’

BATTLES OF THE WAR OF THE RING
⥱THE BATTLE OF THE HORNBURG

The Battle of the Hornburg was a key event in Saruman’s Invasion of Westfold. His forces bearing the White Hand set out from Isengard on March 2nd, 3019, and numbered over 10,000 - consisting primarily of Uruk-hai orcs and Dunledings. They reached Helm’s Deep on March 3rd, where they met a force of almost 3,000 fighting under Rohan’s banner. The battle lasted until March 4th, when Gandalf and Erkenbrand arrived with reinforcements.
