Why did Gandalf say this.... - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

Its true that the guards thought the claim was highly amusing and I suppose Gandalf could have taken from this that, well, I don't know, maybe that the guards weren't too wise? Like Gandalf didn't know that already!

I'm babbling here but it was hardly as if Gandalf half-expected a reply of "No man is he, a Halfling perhaps? Well, it is said that their short frame barely holds their huge hearts and they could prove vital in the fortunes of Minas Tirith."

Gandalf must surely have expected a lack of respect for the little Hobbit.
