Passage from the text:
“We guarded this creature day and night, at Gandalf’s bidding, much though we wearied of the task. But Gandalf bade us hope still for his cure, and we had not the heart to keep him ever in dungeons under the earth, where he would fall back into his old black thoughts.”
Pg#: 249
Commentary: [Prediction]
I’m really digging Gandalf story time. Foiled again! He trusted the elves to keep Gollum in prison and they failed him yo. What’s up with that? Gandalf is pretty wise, but if he would only start screening the people he trusts. First it was the the owner of the Prancing Pony that completely forgot about the note he was to give Frodo. Now someone biffed on their babysitting duties. I predict that in the future, Gandalf will trust someone with a semi-important responsibility and they will fail him- perhaps even Frodo with the Ring.
