Hint needed?
Edit to bring it to the new page:
Maybe you can find a light rudder that suits him. But we don't have a postal or sword for his height.

In Rohan?
If there was anything that depressed him more than his own cynicism, it was that quite often it still wasn't as cynical as real life.

I think you have all the info needed to solve this, but is another hint needed?

I think I was looking in the right chapter - when the Riders are getting ready in Rohan?

Is it Éowyn giving Merry his gear?

I was unsure about that one.
Found it:
Éomer to Théoden:
"Maybe a light helm might be found to fit him; but we have no mail or sword for one of his stature."

That's the one! "Helm" became "rudder" and "mail" became "postal".
Your turn!

They have a shadow of courageous anger. And I think they did evil for both Aman and their own parents.

Must be from The Silmarillion , yes?

Is it Melian speaking to Thingol about the sons of Fëanor: "The shadow of the wrath of the Valar lies upon them; and they have done evil, I perceive, both in Aman and to their own kin."

Interesting that 'Aman' made it into the translation but 'Valar' did not.

I think valar --> valor --> courageous.
