Sägs det inte rakt ut någonstans att det är Gandalf? Jag hinner inte leta nu, men jag har fått för mig det.

The Ring now has passed beyond my help, or the help of any of the Company that set out from
Rivendell. Very nearly it was revealed to the Enemy, but it escaped. I had
some part in that: for I sat in a high place, and I strove with the Dark
Tower; and the Shadow passed. Then I was weary, very weary; and I walked
long in dark thought.'
'Then you know about Frodo!' said Gimli. 'How do things go with him?'
'I cannot say. He was saved from a great peril, but many lie before him
still. He resolved to go alone to Mordor, and he set out: that is all that I
can say.'

Its name was Cirith Ungol, a name of dreadful rumour. Aragorn could perhaps have told them
that name and its significance: Gandalf would have warned them. But they were alone, and Aragorn
was far away, and Gandalf stood amid the ruin of Isengard and strove with Saruman, delayed by
treason. Yet even as he spoke his last words to Saruman, and the palantír crashed in fire upon
the steps of Orthanc. his thought was ever upon Frodo and Samwise, over the long leagues his mind
sought for them in hope and pity.

Maybe Frodo felt it, not knowing it, as he had upon Amon Hen, even though he believed that
Gandalf was gone, gone for ever into the shadow in Moria far away. He sat upon the ground for a
long while, silent, his head bowed, striving to recall all that Gandalf had said to him.
