Hogwarts Play: Council of Elrond

[dfrankiswork at netscape.net]

Dear HPFGU members,

I bring you the latest intelligence from the Hogwarts Christmas Play.  Ms Skeeter seemed strangely reluctant to reveal cast members, apparently fearing that her part could be seen as not essential to the plot.  So we are again reduced to making our own deductions.

Scene: Council chamber at Rivendell.  Present are Elrond, Gandalf, 
Aragorn, Bilbo, Frodo, Boromir, Sam, Gimli, Legolas and sundry Elf lords.

Gandalf: This I have done, and this I have read:
Sauron: (offstage) One ring to rule them all, one ring to find them, one 
ring to bring them all and in the darkness bind them.

Elrond: Fascinating!  And it works by turning people into wraiths? How 
ingenious!  Er, that is, how very shockingly evil.  That's very wrong of 
the Dark Lord, of course.

Boromir: We have long known of the ring of him whom we do not name-

Sauron (offstage) That's Sir Nicholas de Mi-

Gandalf (silkily): I was under the impression that I was to have the next 
line. 

Glorfindel: No, I think I'm next-

Gandalf: The next person to speak out of turn will have their part
written out of the play.  Do I make myself clear?  And may I suggest that 
Glorfindel not be allowed to ride, or we'll be sending the horse home in 
a matchbox.

Glorfindel: B- but-

Gandalf:  Silence!  Do I make myself clear?

Exit Glorfindel
