Gwaihir the Windlord has just left Hobbiton.

Bombadil didn't really bear the Ring at all. In his house in the Old Forest, he took it and examined it for a few seconds, but really it was still in Frodo's posession. It was someone owning something, but having someone else look at it out of interest.

It was still in Frodo's span of bearing-time. It was his mind that worried, thought about and was protective of the Ring, certainly not the inquisitive and carefree mind of Tom.
