J.R.R. Tolkien Quote

Where and what are Helm’s Deep and all the rest of it? said Merry. I don’t know anything about this country. Then you’d best learn something, if you wish to understand what is happening, said Gandalf. But not just now, and not from me: I have too many pressing things to think about. All right, I’ll tackle Strider at the camp-fire: he’s less testy. But why all this secrecy? I though we’d won the battle!
