Dwarves' tongues run on when speaking of their handiwork, they say.'And with that Glóin embarked on a long account of the doings of the Dwarf-from his couch to his chair at table, and it took six young dwarves to lift him.'And what has become of Balin and Ori and Óin?' asked Frodo.A shadow passed over Glóin's face. `We do not know,' he answered. 'It is largely on account of Balin that I have come to ask the advice of those that dwell in Rivendell.
