* Meanwhile, back at the Trade Inn, ..... *
By the way, Olo ... the name of that black horse is Midnight. Told me so himself. * Gandalf nodded enigmatically, then continued speaking. * Midnight will be much obliged to you for currying him, and so will I. As for riding the horse, or having him bear luggage, only at need will I prevail upon the creature for such assistance, and not for mere convenience.
* At the end of Estelarion and Menelduliniel's song, Gandalf applauded. *
* At last, Gandalf went to his room for the night, and was soon asleep. *
