Summary
(Now with illustrations! See Ch. 2)
"Bargain, what bargain? We've never made a bargain with any Spider, no precious! No bargain!" Silly thing that he was, he thought She wanted the Precious, and that was why he was so frightened.
The Spider was unperturbed. "Mortal creature, thou hast asked thrice for leave to rest thyself in My chambers. Thou hast brought Me meat in return. I accept thy bargain, and it will hold. Thou mayest bring Me meat, and in exchange thou wilt have thy rest in My chambers in safety. No Orc nor Man shall trouble thee here. I do not desire thy flesh, for thine own flesh is sour and desiccated. But if thou dost not give unto Me with both hands, thy life will be forfeit and thy head I will dash upon the rocks."
Now it was clear that she did not want the Precious, but something older and bigger was going on than Gollum ought to be dealing with. He screamed again and it was some time before he left off screaming. The Spider did not seem to care.
