The word "fell" is not there, but "foul" is there, just like in the translation.
Edit: just to bring it to the new page:
I like the darkness was just in not flying foul of those riders have found him to be.

What is that supposed to mean?

I wondered that myself!

Is it this one:
Sam to Frodo:
"I can't explain it, but well: it feels to me as if one of those foul flying Riders was about, up in the blackness where he can't be seen"

That's the one!
I was reluctant to say it was when they were roaming around Mordor because they hadn't actually started their roaming yet. I wasn't trying to be mysterious.

Ah, I thought the confusion was from my using the term "around" - it could be interpreted to be right outside...

It's working for me. Which browser are you using?
