The king had his own goblet, specially made for him on his coronation, to be used only by him until his death. Then it was put away, locked up and forgotten with all the others. Theoden's chalice had yet to be moved from its place. There hadn't been any time, of course. So it sat where it always had in the kitchens waiting for its owner to take it up. Éomer gazed at the goblet for a long time, taking in the gold design. Then, reaching out, he turned it upside down with a decisive sound and left the room. |
