behold now niniel had reached those places not long before him , and straightway did she run fearless into the open for love of her lord , and so found him lying with his withered hand in a swoon across his sword ; but the beast that lay hugely stretched beside she heeded not at all , and falling beside turambar she wept , and kissed his face , and put salve upon his hand , for such she had brought in a little box when first they sallied forth , fearing that many hurts would be gotten ere men wended home .
