Pippin became drowsy again and paid little attention to Gandalf
telling him of the ____s of Gondor, and how the Lord of the City

Sleep again, and do not be afraid!’ said Gandalf. ‘For you are not
going like Frodo to Mordor, but to Minas Tirith, and there you will
be as safe as you can be anywhere in these days. If Gondor falls, or
the Ring is taken, then the Shire will be no ____.’
This road and no road looks towards safety any longer. Be
___!
He could see nothing but the ___ing stars, and away to his right vast
shadows against the sky where the mountains of the South marched
