Frodo and the Gaffer?
Earlier, someone had guessed Frodo as the blindman, which I can't totaly make fit, but for the Gaffer, was he not hard of hearing?
Standing at dusk at Bag End when Frodo was leaving the Shire and the Black Rider approached the Gaffer inquiring about Frodo.
First of them second - the Gaffer was first in terms of age, but second to Frodo in that he was an employee.
Second's third house - wasn't his address #3 Bagshot Row.
Forest and garth - Frodo like the forest, the Gaffer like the garden.
Rich man - Frodo, poor man - Gaffer.
Brink of day - the day after Frodo, Sam and Pippin left Bag End.
Enemy - the Black Rider
Son - Sam
both not far away.
