[Dimturiel]

I was wondering whether anyone noticed that, when Saruman describes the Eye of Sauron to Gandalf, Gandalf leans on his staff as if he is suddenly feeling very weak and seems to be in pain. Why? Is it because, when he had seen the Eye after Bilbo had left, he too felt it "pierce his flesh"? I have always felt intrigued by this thing. And I also wonder why, when Gandal sees the Eye in the palantir, he does not tell Saruman immediately what he had just seen. Could it be because he is starting to suspect that something is not quite right with Saruman? This is all, for now, maybe I will come back with more later. ( And off topic, congratiulations Alatar!)
