'
Known
?
'
said
Gandalf
.
'
I
have
known
much
that
only
the
Wise
know
,
Frodo
.
But
if
you
mean
"
known
about
this
ring
"
,
well
,
I
still
do
not
know
,
one
might
say
.
There
is
a
last
test
to
make
.
But
I
no
longer
doubt
my
guess
.
262
'
When
did
I
first
begin
to
guess
?
'
he
mused
,
searching
back
in
memory
.
'
Let
me
see
--
it
was
in
the
year
that
the
White
Council
drove
the
dark
power
from
Mirkwood
,
just
before
the
Battle
of
Five
Armies
,
that
Bilbo
found
his
ring
.
A
shadow
fell
on
my
heart
then
,
though
I
did
not
know
yet
what
I
feared
.
I
wondered
often
how
Gollum
came
by
a
Great
Ring
,
as
plainly
it
was
--
that
at
least
was
clear
from
the
first
.
Then
I
heard
Bilbo
's
strange
story
of
how
he
had
"
won
"
it
,
and
I
could
not
believe
it
.
When
I
at
last
got
the
truth
out
of
him
,
I
saw
at
once
that
he
had
been
trying
to
put
his
claim
to
the
ring
beyond
doubt
.
Much
like
Gollum
with
his
"
birthday
present
"
.
The
lies
were
too
much
alike
for
my
comfort
.
Clearly
the
ring
had
an
unwholesome
power
that
set
to
work
on
its
keeper
at
once
.
That
was
the
first
real
warning
I
had
that
all
was
not
well
.
I
told
Bilbo
often
that
such
rings
were
better
left
unused
;
but
he
resented
it
,
and
soon
got
angry
.
There
was
little
else
that
I
could
do
.
263
I
could
not
take
it
from
him
without
doing
greater
harm
;
and
I
had
no
right
to
do
so
anyway
.
I
could
only
watch
and
wait
.
I
might
perhaps
have
consulted
Saruman
the
White
,
but
something
always
held
me
back
.

'
Who
is
he
?
'
asked
Frodo
.
I
have
never
heard
of
him
before
.
'
265
'M
aybe
not
,
'
answered
Gandalf
.
'
Hobbits
are
,
or
were
,
no
concern
of
his
.
Yet
he
is
great
among
the
Wise
.
He
is
the
chief
of
my
order
and
the
head
of
the
Council
.
His
knowledge
is
deep
,
but
his
pride
has
grown
with
it
,
and
he
takes
ill
any
meddling
.
The
lore
of
the
Elven-rings
,
great
and
small
,
is
his
province
.
He
has
long
studied
it
,
seeking
the
lost
secrets
of
their
making
;
but
when
the
Rings
were
debated
in
the
Council
,
all
that
he
would
reveal
to
us
of
his
ring-lore
told
against
my
fears
.
So
my
doubt
slept
--
but
uneasily
.
Still
I
watched
and
I
waited
.
266
'
And
all
seemed
well
with
Bilbo
.
And
the
years
passed
.
Yes
,
they
passed
,
and
they
seemed
not
to
touch
him
.
He
showed
no
signs
of
age
.
The
shadow
fell
on
me
again
.
But
I
said
to
myself
:
"
After
all
he
comes
of
a
long-lived
family
on
his
mother
's
side
.
There
is
time
yet
.
Wait
!
"
267
'
And
I
waited
.
Until
that
night
when
he
left
this
house
.
He
said
and
did
things
then
that
filled
me
with
a
fear
that
no
words
of
Saruman
could
allay
.
I
knew
at
last
that
something
dark
and
deadly
was
at
work
.
And
I
have
spent
most
of
the
years
since
then
in
finding
out
the
truth
of
it
.

'
There
was
n't
any
permanent
harm
done
,
was
there
?
'
asked
Frodo
anxiously
.
'
He
would
get
all
right
in
time
,
would
n't
he
?
Be
able
to
rest
in
peace
,
I
mean
?
'
269
'
He
felt
better
at
once
,
'
said
Gandalf
.
'
But
there
is
only
one
Power
in
this
world
that
knows
all
about
the
Rings
and
their
effects
;
270
and
as
far
as
I
know
there
is
no
Power
in
the
world
that
knows
all
about
hobbits
.
Among
the
Wise
I
am
the
only
one
that
goes
in
for
hobbit-lore
:
an
obscure
branch
of
knowledge
,
but
full
of
surprises
.
Soft
as
butter
they
can
be
,
and
yet
sometimes
as
tough
as
old
tree-roots
.
I
think
it
likely
that
some
would
resist
the
Rings
far
longer
than
most
of
the
Wise
would
believe
.
I
do
n't
think
you
need
worry
about
Bilbo
.
