Moistening a cloth in chilled water, he pressed it to his wife’s forehead. Finduilas stirred and opened her eyes, squinting at him despite the dim light.

"A little, I think." She began to sit up. "I must make ready...." She let out a pained gasp and fell back against the pillow.
"Hush." Denethor leaned down and kissed her cheek. "We will do well enough with out you. Sleep and be well upon the morrow!"
