165: Council of Elrond Session 41 11/24
\\n\\nIn which Saurman\\u2019s breeding programs and plans for conquest are tactfully discussed. Bob remains a hobbit. Gandalf hopes that Barliman forwarded his letter to his friends in the shire (oops). Why didn\\u2019t Gandalf lie to Saruman and then run away, and why do very few of Tolkien\\u2019s heroes lie?
\\n\\nField Trip: Vales of Anduin, Avabarg
\\n\\n\\u201cDeeds will not be less valiant because they are unpraised.\\u201d ~J.R.R. Tolkien
