(not from the appendices)
“Over the city of Gondor doubt and great dread had hung. Fair weather and clear sun had seemed but a mockery to men whose days held little hope, and who looked each morning for news of doom.”

2. The Host camps in the Desolation of the Morannon.

“They advanced now slowly, expecting at every hour some answer to their challenge, and they drew together, since it was but waste of men to send out scouts or small parties from the main host.”
(Tolkien, 1965 Ballantine, p. 200 RotK)
3. Frodo and Samwise make their last journey to the feet of Mount Doom.
