“Are we riding far tonight, Gandalf?鈥� asked Merry after a while. 鈥淚 don鈥檛 know how you feel with small rag-tag dangling behind you; but the rag-tag is tired and will be glad to stop dangling and lie down.鈥�
鈥淪o you heard that?鈥� said Gandalf. 鈥淒on鈥檛 let it rankle! Be thankful no longer words were aimed at you. He had his eyes on you. If it is any comfort to your pride, I should say that, at the moment, you and Pippin are more in his thoughts than the rest of us. Who you are; how you came here, and why; what you know; whether you were captured, and if so, how you escaped when all the orcs perished鈥攊t is with those little riddles that the great mind of Saruman is troubled. A sneer from him, Meriadoc, is a compliment, if you feel honoured by his concern.鈥�

But do not expect me to wish you health and long life. You will have neither. But that is not my doing. I merely foretell.”

“One sees 鈥楽andyman鈥檚 disease鈥� in an advanced form in Saruman: it starts as intellectual curiosity, develops as engineering skill, turns into greed and the desire to dominate, corrupts further into a hatred and contempt of the natural world which goes beyond any rational desire to use it.”
Tom Shippey, J.R.R. Tolkien: Author of the Century

Tom Shippey, J.R.R. Tolkien: Author of the Century
