Oh, good. I'm glad you like Rivendell stories too. Like Field of Cormallen tales, I'm with you -- there can never be too many.

And Gandalf had stopped in Bree and talked to Barliman before he came to Rivendell, which is how he knew about the other two. You'll remember when you have a chance to wake up! (Three thirty a.m. is too early to think...)
