sep 12, 3 - The start of Frodos encounters with he Ring Wraiths

Description:

"Round the corner came a black horse, no hobbit-pony but a full-sized horse; and on it sat a large man , who seemed to crouch in the saddle, wrapped in a great black cloak and hood, so that only his boots in the high stirrups showed below; his face was shadowed and invisible."

The quote explains the intimidating factor that the Ring Wraiths impose on the characters and the story. It leaves a sense of tension in the story. It also helps us imagine how the Black Riders look like.
