It seems to me only too likely that they will hear of it before this night is over. Is that enough? You can do as you like about my reward: take me as a guide or not. But I may say that I know all the lands between the Shire and the Misty Mountains , for I have wandered over them for many years I might prove useful. You will have to leave the open road after tonight; for the horsemen will watch it You may escape from Bree, and be allowed to go forward while the Sun is up; but you won't go far.
They will come on you in the wild They are terrible! You fear them, but you do not fear them enough, yet. Tomorrow you will have to escape Strider can take you by paths that are seldom trodden. Will you have him? Sam frowned Frodo, I'd say no! This Strider here, he warns and he says take care; and I say yes to that, and let's begin with him. He comes out of the Wild, and I never heard no good of such folk. He knows something, that's plain, and more than I like; but it's no reason why we should let him go leading us out into some dark place far from help Frodo slips into the corner and reappears, where Strider, addressing Frodo by his real name and implying that he knows about the Ring, asks to see Frodo later.
The people in the hall are not convinced when Frodo steps out of the corner and claims to have simply rolled over there as he fell. They all return to their rooms, and rumors fly. Strider follows the hobbits back to their room. He begins to talk, hinting that he knows much about their journey. The hobbits, especially Sam, are inclined to distrust Strider because of his vagabond appearance. However, Strider does indeed seem to know much about the Black Riders, who have recently been seen in Bree.
In fact, he saw Black Riders speaking to the gatekeeper a few days ago. Just then, Butterbur knocks and enters. He long-windedly explains to Frodo that he has a letter to Frodo from Gandalf. I had learned that he was carrying out of the Shire, well, a secret that concerned me and my friends.
Eventually, the conversation leads them to Gandalf, and we learn that Gandalf had told Aragorn about Frodo and the Ring. But Aragorn had assumed that Gandalf would be traveling with Frodo. It was only when he found out that Frodo was traveling alone that he made a point to search for him and offer protection:.
A Wizard told him Two things are of note. Fellowship of the Ring: Chapter 10, Strider Aragorn states his awareness of Frodo, and confirms his search. He only goes into more details after Frodo has read the letter and confirms that it is indeed Aragorn son of Arathorn We himself and Gandalf met last on the first of May: at Sarn Ford down the Brandywine.
Gandalf was also aware that Aragorn would be on the Road, possibly looking out for them. Improve this answer. Community Bot 1. Edlothiad Edlothiad What's ibid. KeyWeeUsr It means the same source as the previous quote. You forgot one. In the first chapter of Fellowship, just before Gandalf leaves on the urgent business that takes him to Saruman though we aren't informed that that is where he is going yet , he says that Frodo will be watched while he is in the Shire.
He had JUST finished talking about his great friend who helped him track down and bag Gollum which was a reference to Aragorn without whom he never would have caught Gollum. This oblique reference makes it seem like Gandalf had been working with Aragorn for some time and actually assigned him to watch the Shire for Frodo. Edlothiad I don't have my copy of the book in front of me or I'd give you a quote and page number, but I was just reading this to my son yesterday. KeyWeeUsr Also a user here!
