The World
‘And here also is your brooch, Pippen,’ said Aragorn. ‘I have kept it safe, for it is a very precious thing.’
‘I know,’ said Pippen. ‘It was a wrench to let it go; but what else could I do?’
‘Nothing else,’ answered Aragorn. ‘One who cannot cast away a treasure at need is in fetters. You did rightly.’
The Two Towers, Being the Second Part of THE LORD OF THE RINGS by J.R.R. Tolkien
