Book V, Chapter 8: Everyone He Can Lay

(Faramir, Éowyn and Merry all END up in the Houses of the Healing and everyone thinks they are BEYOND help. Except for Ioreth, who doesn't. Instead, she takes the opportunity to share a PROVERB.)

Aragorn: "Athelas, a.k.a. kingsfoil, now."

Ioreth: "I always thought that was a weird name for a weed. Even if it does smell nice."

Aragorn: "Idiot:
  • Not interested;
  • Lives at stake;
  • You talk too much."
(Aragorn TRUDGES through the City HEALING everyone he can LAY his HANDS on.)
