may 6, 9 - Frodo and the group meeting Strider

Description:

"'Suddenly Frodo noticed that a strange-looking weather-beaten man, sitting in the shadows near the wall, was also listening intently to the hobbit-talk. He had a tall tankard in front of him, and was smoking a long-stemmed pipe curiously carved."

The meeting between Frodo and Strider is important due to the importance that Strider brings to the group and how much the group depends on his character and the knowledge of the old lore and Middle-Earth.
