I really like this description of Merry and Pippin ... so ... enjoy!
As they walked they compared notes, talking lightly in hobbit-fashion of the things that had happened since their capture. No listener would have guessed from their words that they had suffered cruelly, and been in dire peril, going without hope towards tornament and death; or even now, as they knew well, they had little chance of ever finding friend or safety again.
