Um... where exactly does the border of Ithilien end? I guess I don't know the answer to that question.

Is the speaker taller or shorter than Gimli?

I don't think it specifies, so they're probably roughly the same height.
There is no record of the speaker ever having met Gimli.

So Gollum?
If there was anything that depressed him more than his own cynicism, it was that quite often it still wasn't as cynical as real life.

And assuming that's the right quote, I'll give you one now, rather than waiting my customary 5 days...
This act, I would have said he would. But the rushing madness was in me, and he did not listen...

That would have to be Beregrond, talking about taking the key from the porter:
"‘This deed I shall ever rue,’ he said; ‘but a madness of haste was on me, and he would not listen, but drew sword against me.’
"Spirits in the shape of hawks and eagles flew ever to and from his halls; and their eyes could see to the depths of the seas, and pierce the hidden caverns beneath the world."

Well, I really shouldn't suppress your splendor anymore or keep you away from many others you need

This must be Bilbo to Smaug:
Well, I really must not detain Your Magnificence any longer, or keep you from much needed rest.
Interesting that translationparty chose the wrong meaning of "rest".

I thought that was interesting too. Well done! Your turn.

But there was nothing to admire. I had no temptation or desire to do anything other than what I did.
