Book II, Chapter 1: I Had Better Things To Do
24 October 3018
Frodo: "What the...?"
Gandalf: "Chill out, we're in Rivendell."
Frodo: "Where did you get to?"
Gandalf: "I'll tell you later."
(He TELLS Frodo EVERYTHING anyway.)
Frodo: "So the Black Riders are all gone?"
Gandalf: "That kinda depends on your definition of 'gone'."
Gandalf: "Chill out, we're in Rivendell."
Frodo: "Where did you get to?"
Gandalf: "I'll tell you later."
(He TELLS Frodo EVERYTHING anyway.)
Frodo: "So the Black Riders are all gone?"
Gandalf: "That kinda depends on your definition of 'gone'."

(Later Frodo gets
UP, meets the OTHERS and goes to a FEAST. Arwen
SAYS and DOES nothing; Frodo CHATS with Glóin and
SEES Bilbo.)

Bilbo: "The Dúnedain! I didn't
see you loitering around Arwen earlier."
Strider: "I had better things to
do."
(Bilbo RECITES a very LONG poem and everyone
goes to BED.)
