In whom do my people trust?” “In the House of Eorl,” answered Hama. “But Eomer I cannot spare, nor would he stay,” said the king; “and he is the last of that House.” “I said not Eomer,” answered Hama. “And he is not the last.

“It shall be so,” said Theoden. “Let the heralds announce to the folk that the Lady Eowyn will lead them!”
