Re: Gildor Inglorion

I have often thought the same thing, Meriadoc, and in my mind I always contrasted Gildor's behavior to Farmer Maggot's. Maggot knew that the black rider was in town and that the hobbits were afraid of him, yet he was wiling to drive them to the ferry despite the danger (and also offered to lie to the black rider if he asked about the hobbits). The simple farmer hobbit seemed much more admirable in this respect than the immortal elf who, as you point out, basically left the hobbits in the lurch.
