Pervinca Took is a guest of Tom Bombadil.
Good point indeed. I can't believe I hadn't thought of that before. My next paragraph possibly explains why I hadn't:

I wonder why Gandalf is so worried about the 'darkness' that has spread from Mordor, if Narya would 'tell' him Sauron did not have the Ring, when Faramir tells them he has met Frodo and Sam (and Gollum). I know Gandalf fears Gollum's treachery, but Pippin realises with a thrill of fear that Gandalf himself is troubled, even afraid. Faramir knows about the Ring, and connects Gandalf's immediate fear with the darkness that has begun. Faramir does not know about Narya, of course. And it is he who verbally connects the darkness with the supposed recovery of the Ring ... but I still had the impression that Gandalf was thinking of it, too.
