Summary

For the "Humility" challenge on tolkien_weekly. This was sparked by two comments to my drabble "The Future Hangs By a Thread," about who was more arrogant, Book!Aragorn or Movie!Aragorn, and it occurred to me that Aragorn's actions spoke more of arrogance than humility. The title is taken from a line of Robert Stouthey's poem "The Devil's Walk": "The Devil's favorite sin is pride that apes humility."
