Fellowship of the Ring
"Frodo! Frodo!"
Henry V., IV.III
The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring Book II, Chapter Four - A Journey in the Dark
For eight dark hours, not counting two brief halts, they marched on; and they met no danger, and heard nothing, and saw nothing but the faint gleam of the wizard’s light, bobbing like a will-o’-the-wisp in front of them. The passage they had chosen wound steadily upwards. As far as they could judge it went in great mounting curves, and as it rose it grew loftier and wider.

Evidently they had struck what once had been an important road; and they went forward quicker than they had done on their first march
