They still flew high and out of sight of all save Legolas..." 2- Frodo and Sam leave the road and turn south to Mount Doom "...Even as the Captains of the West drew near to the end of the living lands, the two wanderers came to an hour of blank despair. Four days had passed since they had escaped from the orcs..." 3- Third assault on Lórien “Three times Lórien had been attacked from Dol Guldur, but in addition to the courage of that elven people, the power in that land was too great for anyone to conquer it. 4- In Minas Tirith, Éowyn and Faramir met in the gardens "...the Warden [of the Houses of Healing] looking from his window was glad in heart..." . . . . . . . .
