looking for a Tolkien reference

[martasfic]

There's a quote in the appendices of LOTR I'm looking for but can't find. It's about a monument in the land that eventually became Harad, specifically the site of a monument marking where Sauron had surrendered to Ar-Pharazon. I think the reference pops up in the later history of Gondor, perhaps after the Kinslaying when Castamir's folks leave Gondor and settle in Harad. But for the life of me I can't find the referece, and I need to know all I can about what eventually happened to the monument.

Anyone know the passage and where I can find it?

Yes, but I can only highlight a passage, not copy it! Am I being thick?

Huh. I highlight and copy all the time! Let me go figure out the steps. Brb.

...

...

1. Type text to search for in search bar
2.Text shows up highlighted in yellow on Kindle page
3. Left click to select?
4 Grey menu bar appears underneath selection; select "copy"
5. And then paste:

At first he was rough, and then he was gentle.

Kushner, Ellen (2007-12-18). Swordspoint (p. 211). Spectra. Kindle Edition.

None of that works for you? *scratches head*

I do all that, but the 'copy' option doesn't appear - just 'highlight' 'add note' 'search' and 'more'.

*Sigh*

Perhaps it's a UK copyright issue?


[Edit: And that just *happened* to be the example you used?? :>) ]

Oh, dear, perhaps it is. Bother.

(Well, it was in my mind; I wrote a B/T drabble inspired by it just the other day...)

*waves to Marta* Hi! Sorry for hijacking your journal!

No worries! Glad to provide a place for a "meeting of minds."

Also: now you must give us a link to the B/T drabble...)

LJ is being very wiggy for me at the moment! It took me ages to get this window to open. But my drabble is just two posts back, not hard to find at all.
