Re the Entwife: I am fairly sure that Tolkien said in one of his letters that the Entwives had been killed a long time ago, I forget the details, but they were dead. I think if Gandalf said it wasn't him in the forest, it wasn't him - I just want to know what Saruman was doing wandering around shooing horses away. I mean, why? I have a vague memory of Treebeard saying that Saruman used to come into Fangorn and talk to the Ents, but hasn't done it for a while.
