Yes, Saucepan-Man... it is your own view that decides who the old man was as with the Entwife-discussions, as I tried to point out in my first post. Yet I am, and I guess the rest too, trying to get through the paragraphs about the old man to get an idea of who it probably is!

and Saruman who set their horses free
|
I don't think the horses would be needed to set free. I guess they were wandering free for themselves, so scared off would be a more accurate description. Taken in mind that Legolas mentions: 'Whether they fled at first in fear, or not...' It seems that the horses just wandered free.
I've hastily searched in LotR if Saruman mentions anything that might be about the old man if you read it between the lines, but I found nothing of the kind. Which makes me wonder, because the personality of Sauron taken in mind I would think he would sneer something to the three Hunters when they meet him at Orthanc.
What do others think of this?
