Yes, that's fitting - and when I read that passage, I'm immediately much more fascinated by the moss-gatherer. We have seen many of those rolling stones, but moss-gatherers not nearly as much.

I love the sense of mystery about him, the way no one knows what he is or where and when he came from. Yeah, Gandalf is cool and all that and I like him a lot, but he doesn't have the same intrigue as Tom. He's a trifle too hero for my taste. No can do, folks - Ol' Gandalf just doesn't interest me as much as Tom does.
