"But I thought Sauron was evil!" protested Gamgès.
"So you have been taught," sighed Frodia. "But when you escape, you will study the matter for yourself, and apprehend the truth. En tout cas, Elrond decided to eliminate all his rivals, by inviting them to a Council; and he made a point of inviting Sauron and his son the Prince Fredegario. Sauron, suspecting that all was not Calenarbert cheese, wrote a secret will leaving all his possessions to Fredegario, and warning him of evil. This will was stolen by Galadriella during her night of passion with Sauron, so that not only he, but also his son, perished at the hands of Elrond's poisoned margaritas.
"Galadriella took the will with her to Lottaloria, and sans doute would have hunted for the treasure, had she not been distracted with Dwarvish dissipations. Therefore it was left to me to find this remarkable document. I had just finished transliterating it and translating it into some 15 different languages, when I was arrested. I offered my captors a state far beyond their merit and wit, and they repaid me with blague and raillerie. So much the better. It shall be yours, mon fils."
"How can this be?" cried Samouard in amaze.
