Bilbo
	with the use of his eyes could not see where they were going,
and
	neither he nor the others knew where they had started from
anyway. Bilbo
	had all he could do to keep up with the torches, for the elves
were
	making the dwarves go as fast as ever they could, sick and weary

torches

they began
	to cross the bridge. This was the bridge that led across the
river to
	the kings doors. The water flowed dark and swift and strong
beneath;
	and at the far end were gates before the mouth of a huge cave
that ran
	into the side of a steep slope covered with trees. There the
great
	beeches came right down to the bank, till their feet were in the
stream.

hesitated
	in the rear. He did not at all like the look of the cavern-mouth
and he
	only made up his mind not to desert his friends just in time to
