1) _____________________________________________

Then holding the star ___ and the bright sword advanced, Frodo,
hobbit of the Shire, walked steadily down to meet the eyes.

2) _____________________________________________

Darker it ___ed, and steadily it rose as they approached, until it
towered up high above them, shutting out the view of all that lay
beyond. Deep shadow lay before its feet. Sam sniffed the air.

3) _____________________________________________

The tunnel was high and wide, so wide that, though the hobbits
walked ____, only touching the side-walls with their outstretched
hands, they were separated, cut off alone in the darkness

4) _____________________________________________

Out of it came a stench, not the sickly
odour of decay in the meads of Morgul, but a foul ____, as if filth
unnameable were piled and hoarded in the dark within.
‘Is this the only way, Sme´agol?’ said Frodo.

5) _____________________________________________

Monstrous and ____ eyes they were, bestial and yet filled with purpose and with hideous delight, gloating over their prey trapped beyond all hope of escape.

6) _____________________________________________

It may indeed have been daytime now, as Gollum said, but the
hobbits could see little difference, unless, perhaps, the heavy sky
above was less ____ black, more like a great roof of smoke; while
instead of the darkness of deep night, which lingered still in cracks
and holes, a grey blurring shadow shrouded the stony world about
them.

7) _____________________________________________

But that desire was yet far away, and long now had she been
hungry, ___ in her den, while the power of Sauron grew, and
light and living things forsook his borders; and the city in the valley
was dead, and no Elf or Man came near, only the unhappy Orcs.
Poor food and wary.

8) _____________________________________________

Not far down the tunnel, between them and the
opening where they had ___ed and stumbled, he was aware of eyes
growing visible, two great clusters of many-windowed eyes – the
coming menace was unmasked at last.

9) _____________________________________________

For a moment it glimmered, faint as a rising star
struggling in heavy earthward mists, and then as its power ___ed,
and hope grew in Frodo’s mind, it began to burn, and kindled to a
silver flame, a minute heart of dazzling light, as though Earendil had
himself come down from the high sunset paths with the last Silmaril
upon his brow

10) _____________________________________________

And at that moment Sam too ___ed and fell forwards.
