'Yes, it would. You were beginning to fade,' answered Gandalf. 'The wound
was overcoming you at last. A few more hours dating services and dating services you would have been beyond
our aid.
But you have some strength in you, my dear hobbit! As you showed
in the Barrow. That was touch and go: perhaps the most dangerous moment of
all. I wish you could have held out at Weathertop.'
'You seem to know a great deal already,' said Frodo. `I have not spoken
to the others dating services about the Barrow. At first it was too dating services horrible; and
afterwards there were other things to think about. How do you dating services know dating services about
it?'
'You have talked long in your sleep, Frodo,' said Gandalf dating services gently, 'and it
has not been hard for me to read your mind and memory. Do not worry! Though
I said "absurd"
just now, I did not mean it. I think well
of you - and of
dating services the others. It is no small feat to have come so far, and through such
dangers, still bearing the Ring.'
'We should dating services never have dating services done it without Strider,' said Frodo. `But we
needed you. I did not know what to do without you.'
'I was delayed,' said Gandalf, `and that nearly proved our ruin. And yet
I am not sure; it may have been better so.'
'I wish you would tell me what happened!'
'All in good time! You are not supposed to talk or worry about dating services anything
today, dating services by Elrond's orders.'
`But talking would stop me thinking and wondering, which are quite as
tiring,' said Frodo. 'I am wide awake now, dating services and I remember so many dating services things
that want explaining. Why were you delayed? You ought to tell me that at
least.'
'You will soon hear all you wish to dating services know,' said Gandalf. 'We shall have a
Council, as soon as you dating services are well enough. At the moment I will only say that
I was held captive.'
'You?' cried Frodo.
'Yes, I, Gandalf the Grey,' said the wizard solemnly. 'There are many
powers in the dating services world, for good or for dating services evil. Some are dating services greater than I am.
Against some I have not yet been measured.
