As
time
went
on
,
people
began
to
notice
that
Frodo
also
showed
signs
of
good
'
preservation
'
:
outwardly
he
retained
the
appearance
of
a
robust
and
energetic
hobbit
just
out
of
his
tweens
.
'S
ome
folk
have
all
the
luck
,
'
they
said
;
but
it
was
not
until
Frodo
approached
the
usually
more
sober
age
of
fifty
that
they
began
to
think
it
queer
.
Frodo
himself
,
after
the
first
shock
,
found
that
being
his
own
master
and
the
Mr.
Baggins
of
Bag
End
was
rather
pleasant
.
For
some
years
he
was
quite
happy
and
did
not
worry
much
about
the
future
.
But
half
unknown
to
himself
the
regret
that
he
had
not
gone
with
Bilbo
was
steadily
growing
.
He
found
himself
wondering
at
times
,
especially
in
the
autumn
,
about
the
wild
lands
,
and
strange
visions
of
mountains
that
he
had
never
seen
came
into
his
dreams
.
He
began
to
say
to
himself
:
'
Perhaps
I
shall
cross
the
River
myself
one
day
.
'
To
which
the
other
half
of
his
mind
always
replied
:
'N
ot
yet
.
'
So
it
went
on
,
until
his
forties
were
running
out
,
and
his
fiftieth
birthday
was
drawing
near
:
fifty
was
a
number
that
he
felt
was
somehow
significant
(
or
ominous
)
;
it
was
at
any
rate
at
that
age
that
adventure
had
suddenly
befallen
Bilbo
.
Frodo
began
to
feel
restless
,
and
the
old
paths
seemed
too
well-trodden
.
He
looked
at
maps
,
and
wondered
what
lay
beyond
their
edges
:
maps
made
in
the
Shire
showed
mostly
white
spaces
beyond
its
borders
.
He
took
to
wandering
further
afield
and
more
often
by
himself
;
and
Merry
and
his
other
friends
watched
him
anxiously
.
Often
he
was
seen
walking
and
talking
with
the
strange
wayfarers
that
began
at
this
time
to
appear
in
the
Shire
.
There
were
rumours
of
strange
things
happening
in
the
world
outside
;
and
as
Gandalf
had
not
at
that
time
appeared
or
sent
any
message
for
several
years
,
Frodo
gathered
all
the
news
he
could
.
Elves
,
who
seldom
walked
in
the
Shire
,
could
now
be
seen
passing
westward
through
the
woods
in
the
evening
,
passing
and
not
returning
;
but
they
were
leaving
Middle-earth
and
were
no
longer
concerned
with
its
troubles
.
There
were
,
however
,
dwarves
on
the
road
in
unusual
numbers
.
The
ancient
East-West
Road
ran
through
the
Shire
to
its
end
at
the
Grey
Havens
,
and
dwarves
had
always
used
it
on
their
way
to
their
mines
in
the
Blue
Mountains
.
They
were
the
hobbits
'
chief
source
of
news
from
distant
parts
--
if
they
wanted
any
:
as
a
rule
dwarves
said
little
and
hobbits
asked
no
more
.
But
now
Frodo
often
met
strange
dwarves
of
far
countries
,
seeking
refuge
in
the
West
.
They
were
troubled
,
and
some
spoke
in
whispers
of
the
Enemy
and
of
the
Land
of
Mordor
.
That
name
the
hobbits
only
knew
in
legends
of
the
dark
past
,
like
a
shadow
in
the
background
of
their
memories
;
but
it
was
ominous
and
disquieting
.
It
seemed
that
the
evil
power
in
Mirkwood
had
been
driven
out
by
the
White
Council
only
to
reappear
in
greater
strength
in
the
old
strongholds
of
Mordor
.
The
Dark
Tower
had
been
rebuilt
,
it
was
said
.
From
there
the
power
was
spreading
far
and
wide
,
and
away
far
east
and
south
there
were
wars
and
growing
fear
.
Orcs
were
multiplying
again
in
the
mountains
.
Trolls
were
abroad
,
no
longer
dull-witted
,
but
cunning
and
armed
with
dreadful
weapons
.
And
there
were
murmured
hints
of
creatures
more
terrible
than
all
these
,
but
they
had
no
name
.
Little
of
all
this
,
of
course
,
reached
the
ears
of
ordinary
hobbits
.
But
even
the
deafest
and
most
stay-at-home
began
to
hear
queer
tales
;
and
those
whose
business
took
them
to
the
borders
saw
strange
things
.
The
conversation
in
The
Green
Dragon
at
Bywater
,
one
evening
in
the
spring
of
Frodo
's
fiftieth
year
,
showed
that
even
in
the
comfortable
heart
of
the
Shire
rumours
had
been
heard
,
though
most
hobbits
still
laughed
at
them
.
Sam
Gamgee
was
sitting
in
one
corner
near
the
fire
,
and
opposite
him
was
Ted
Sandyman
,
the
miller
's
son
;
and
there
were
various
other
rustic
hobbits
listening
to
their
talk
.
'
Queer
things
you
do
hear
these
days
,
to
be
sure
,
'
said
Sam
.
