<BLOCKQUOTE>quote:<HR> Actually, there were 13 dwarves. The reason they even wanted Bilbo in the first place was because they didn't want a company of 13, because 13 was an unlucky number. Gandalf did not consider himself part of the company, he was just there to accompany them for a while, thats why he left during the journey. <HR></BLOCKQUOTE><P>Yeah you are probably right. I knew the company was larger then 9, but I was not too positve opn the exact number. Thanks for fixing my mistake. I havn't read the hobbit in a few years.
