228 Where Smeagols Swear

Published: Nov. 7, 2021, 4 p.m.

b'Gollum is disinclined to acquiesce to Frodo\\u2019s request to lead them to Mordor, and he tries to escape when he thinks the hobbits aren\\u2019t looking. Sam has thirty ells\\u2019 worth of good reasons for Gollum to stay put, but the Elvish rope burns his skin (as of publication, Lothl\\xf3rien Ropeworks has not issued a recall, and neither Haldir nor \\u201cOne of Those Folk\\u201d could be reached for comment). Finally, Sm\\xe9agol comes up with a promise that Frodo can trust\\u2026 for now. All this, plus a closer look at swearing (not that kind) and a Middle-earth/Marvel mashup in the mailbag.
