Excellent point, Kalimac. But of course you are a hobbit, and have some insights into the fiendish nature of these unruly gossips. Tolkien doesn't tell us every single thing that the Company talked about on the long road south to Caradhras, but that doesn't mean that it didn't happen. Tolkien's world is ultra-realistic to the last detail. This is shown in the conversation between Pippin and Merry on the grassy knoll after the Palantir has been recovered.

Remember that saying of Gildor's? The one Sam always used to quote? 'Do not meddle in the affairs of Wizards, for they are subtle and quick to anger!'

Sam at least seemingly did a lot of talking to the other hobbits.
