and of your left. There is also a danger that pursues you, which I do not see clearly or understand. You others of the little folk I could wish had never come so far. For now unless you will dwell here in exile while outside in the world many years run by, I see not what you can do save go forward. It would be vain to attempt to return home or to Rivendell alone.’

The whole of this passage, from ‘Now is the time for any to depart’, is marked off with directions To come in later’ and ‘At beginning of next chapter before they go’. At the top of the page, and no doubt written in after this decision was made, is the following:

‘Now we have spoken long, and yet you have toiled and suffered much, and have travelled far,’ said Keleborn. ‘Even if your quest did not concern all free lands deeply, you should here have refuge for a while. In this city you may abide until you are healed and rested. We will not yet think of your further road.’

The character of the manuscript now changes again. Very roughly written in ink, it is evidently the continuation of the original pencilled text that was over-written or erased in the preceding section (see p. 245). At the top of the first page of this part are notes on the names of the Lord and Lady of Lothlórien. In pencilled text visible in the last section their original names Tar and Finduilas had changed to Ar an and Rhien (note 3), and then to Gaidar an and Galdri(e)n (note 9) - Galadriel on p. 246 belongs with the later, overwritten text. Their names now change further:

Galathir = Galað-hir tree-lord

Galadhrien = Galað-rhien tree-lady

The name of the Lord does not appear in the concluding part of this chapter, but the name of the Lady is Galadrien (at the first occurrence only, Galdrien), with pencilled correction in some cases to Galadriel.
