<BLOCKQUOTE>quote:<HR>Thinking about it, Gandalf took Pippin to Minas Tirith in the first place to keep him out of trouble. Maybe Gandalf didn't trust Pippin to be left in Minas Tirith on his own, so he grabbed Pippin quickly and kept him away from trouble. <HR></BLOCKQUOTE><P>True, but why would Gandalf take Pippin from perhaps small mischief in the city, to grave danger: Riding out to meet the Nazgul? I can only suppose that he thought that if Denethor realized that Gandalf was away from Pippin, he would have Pippin brought to him & question him, & Pippin would surely screw up without old Gandalf there (& sometimes with him there) !
