“Merry, Pippin, come see what Prince Faramir’s sent for the garden!” Sam could barely contain his excitement and led them toward the display. “Imagine, a wedding gift… clear from Dol Amroth the note says.” Veiled in silk, the treasure lay hidden. The hobbits crowded around as Sam removed the cloth. Blanching, Pippin stumbled backwards with a gasp – covering his eyes. “No! Put it away!” Visions of the Eye and memories of blinding torment flooded his mind. “Please!” Confused, Sam slowly complied. “What’s wrong, Master Pippin ‘tis only a gazin’ ball…” Trembling, Pippin turned and fled.
