Gandalf
“Gandalf” also comes from the Prose Edda and means “wand-elf”.
- 01.006 Gandalf came by.
- 01.006 Gandalf!
- 01.008 But Gandalf looked at him from under long bushy eyebrows
- 01.011 Very pretty!’ said Gandalf.
- 01.014 said Gandalf.
- 01.016 I am Gandalf,
- 01.016 and Gandalf means me!
- 01.017 Gandalf, Gandalf! Good gracious me!
- 01.017 Gandalf, Gandalf! Good gracious me!
- 01.017 Not the Gandalf who was responsible
- 01.023 Gandalf in the meantime
- 01.024 he had almost forgotten about Gandalf.
- 01.024 Gandalf Tea Wednesday.
- 01.026 when he saw that it was not Gandalf at all.
- 01.031 That was what he was going to say to Gandalf this time.
- 01.031 But it was not Gandalf.
- 01.038 Gandalf for certain this time,’
- 01.048 and there was Gandalf behind,
- 01.051 Now we are all here!’ said Gandalf,
- 01.057 there’s a good fellow!’ Gandalf called after him,
- 01.060 Gandalf sat at the head of the party
- 01.063 and stayed talking to Gandalf –
- 01.068 but wherever it went it was not quick enough to escape Gandalf.
- 01.068 Then Gandalf’s smoke-ring would go green
- 01.071 while the shadow of Gandalf’s beard wagged against the wall.
- 01.089 Hush!’ said Gandalf.
- 01.090 Gandalf, dwarves and Mr. Baggins!
- 01.091 the ingenious wizard Gandalf) may never return.
- 01.092 Gandalf struck a blue light on the end of his magic staff,
- 01.093 Excitable little fellow,’ said Gandalf,
- 01.095 It is all very well for Gandalf to talk about this hobbit being fierce,
- 01.098 Gandalf told us
- 01.099 Of course there is a mark,’ said Gandalf.
- 01.100 That’s right,’ said Gandalf.
- 01.111 In lots of ways,’ said Gandalf.
- 01.113 Also,’ went on Gandalf,
- 01.115 interrupted Gandalf.
- 01.121 and live up to Gandalf’s recommendation.
- 01.125 and I should like to know how Gandalf got hold of it,
- 01.134 Even I, Gandalf, only just escaped.
- 02.002 in walked Gandalf.
- 02.005 “Great Elephants!” said Gandalf,
- 02.007 you would have found this just under the clock,” said Gandalf,
- 02.014 You will have to run,” said Gandalf.
- 02.019 pushing his keys into Gandalf’s hands,
- 02.027 when up came Gandalf very splendid on a white horse.
- 02.032 did they notice that Gandalf was missing.
- 02.038 “Where has Gandalf got to?”
- 02.081 It was just then that Gandalf came back.
- 02.107 “Excellent!” said Gandalf,
- 02.110 in any case,” said Gandalf.
- 02.111 while Gandalf tried various incantations.
- 02.113 Gandalf grabbed it
- 02.114 Gandalf and Thorin each took one of these;
- 02.118 said Thorin to Gandalf as they rode along.
- 02.125 “Don’t interrupt!” said Gandalf.
- 03.005 Now Gandalf led the way.
- 03.009 even guided by Gandalf,
- 03.010 so suddenly that Gandalf’s horse nearly slipped down the slope.
- 03.021 and bowed to Gandalf
- 03.023 but Gandalf was already off his horse
- 03.029 and good night!” said Gandalf,
- 03.035 This, Gandalf, was Glamdring,
- 03.043 asked Gandalf
- 03.048 “That remains to be seen,” said Gandalf.
- 04.001 and memory of Gandalf,
- 04.003 Only Gandalf had shaken his head
- 04.003 but Gandalf had,
- 04.003 Even the good plans of wise wizards like Gandalf
- 04.003 and Gandalf was a wise enough wizard to know it.
- 04.007 take us there!” said Gandalf,
- 04.013 but Gandalf would not hear of it.
- 04.013 which Gandalf turned into different colours
- 04.016 But not Gandalf.
- 04.017 Where was Gandalf?
- 04.024 that Elrond had lent to Gandalf,
- 04.041 Then Gandalf lit up his wand.
- 04.041 Of course it was Gandalf;
- 04.041 for Gandalf had brought it along as well,
- 04.041 Gandalf thought of most things;
- 04.043 Gandalf was quite right:
- 04.047 At this point Gandalf fell behind,
- 04.050 nor even Gandalf heard them coming.
- 04.050 for Gandalf was letting his wand
- 06.002 and O where can Gandalf
- 06.006 Gandalf was arguing with the dwarves.
- 06.006 and Gandalf was saying that they could not possibly go on with their journey
- 06.009 Gandalf answered angrily:
- 06.014 Gandalf was as astonished as any of them,
- 06.014 in spite of Gandalf’s words,
- 06.024 What did I tell you?’ said Gandalf laughing.
- 06.025 for if Gandalf had explained it all by now to the dwarves,
- 06.027 said Gandalf, ‘or soon there will be no getting over the mountains at all.’
- 06.028 As soon as Gandalf had heard Bilbo’s yell
- 06.030 Gandalf had made a special study of bewitchments with fire
- 06.030 except that Gandalf knew all about the back-door,
- 06.036 Can’t help it,’ said Gandalf,
- 06.042 Well! that has got us on a bit,’ said Gandalf;
- 06.047 A bit further,’ said Gandalf.
- 06.052 Up the trees quick!’ cried Gandalf;
- 06.052 Gandalf, who was a good deal taller than the others,
- 06.060 Gandalf understood it.
- 06.061 I will tell you what Gandalf heard,
- 06.063 but also because of the danger which now threatened Gandalf
- 06.064 Now you can understand why Gandalf,
- 06.076 shouted Gandalf in answer.
- 06.079 the flames were under Gandalf’s tree.
- 06.080 Then Gandalf climbed to the top of his tree.
- 06.082 to whom Gandalf had now spoken.
- 06.093 and was speaking to Gandalf.
- 06.094 As a matter of fact Gandalf,
- 06.094 As Bilbo listened to the talk of Gandalf
- 06.096 Very well,’said Gandalf.
- 06.099 Gandalf, too, was lying down after doing his part
- 07.008 answered Gandalf, who knew the correct reply.
- 07.012 They had begun to think Gandalf was going to come all the way
- 07.022 no, no, NO, NO!’ said Gandalf.
- 07.028 We are getting near,’ said Gandalf.
- 07.033 of the arrival of strangers,’ said Gandalf.
- 07.036 and towering tall above Gandalf.
- 07.037 I am Gandalf,’
- 07.039 and unimpeachable reputation,’ said Gandalf.
- 07.039 I am a wizard,’ continued Gandalf.
- 07.046 while Gandalf began his tale,
- 07.051 So Gandalf gave a long shrill whistle,
- 07.055 away east beyond Mirkwood,’ put in Gandalf,
- 07.063 Gandalf whistled again;
- 07.063 Gandalf had told them to come
- 07.067 went on Gandalf,
- 07.077 said Gandalf, as these two now appeared
- 07.078 Now go on, Gandalf!’
- 07.079 So Gandalf went on with the tale,
- 07.082 But look here, Gandalf,
- 07.082 that Gandalf was describing.
- 07.083 When Gandalf came to their climbing
- 07.084 Well,’ said Gandalf very glad
- 07.088 Mr. Baggins saw then how clever Gandalf had been.
- 07.093 and little short thick legs for Gandalf
- 07.104 Suddenly up stood Gandalf.
- 07.106 and Gandalf were all asleep,
- 07.112 Where is Gandalf?’ asked Bilbo,
- 07.116 At last Gandalf pushed away his plate
- 07.117 ended Gandalf, and he sat a long while silent.
- 07.125 and Gandalf thought it wise to tell him their whole story
- 07.126 and a horse for Gandalf,
- 07.133 But if he dared to mention it to Gandalf,
- 07.135 Well, here is Mirkwood!’ said Gandalf.
- 07.141 that Gandalf was going to leave them
- 07.146 Now Gandalf too said farewell.
- 07.147 said Gandalf to Thorin.
- 07.153 said Gandalf, and he turned his horse
- 08.079 and Gandalf’s!’ he lamented.
- 08.125 (as Gandalf had said they would)
- 09.016 Just what Gandalf had said would happen,
- 09.031 Gandalf spoke true,
- 10.003 and since the last news that Gandalf had had of them.
- 10.004 if he had known that news of this had reached Gandalf far away
- 16.043 It was Gandalf.
- 16.045 All in good time!’ said Gandalf.
- 17.015 I wish I had Gandalf here!
- 17.016 Here is Gandalf!
- 17.024 as King under the Mountain,’ said Gandalf.
- 17.041 Halt!’ cried Gandalf,
- 17.042 Even as Gandalf had been speaking the darkness grew.
- 17.043 Come!’ called Gandalf.
- 17.044 How much Gandalf knew cannot be said,
- 17.048 As Gandalf had hoped,
- 17.060 Gandalf, too, I may say, was there,
- 18.010 if Gandalf the wizard had not said
- 18.013 and there stood Gandalf,
- 18.014 When Gandalf saw Bilbo,
- 18.026 he asked Gandalf that evening,
- 18.043 Gandalf and Bilbo rode behind the Elvenking,
- 18.044 Farewell! O Elvenking!’ said Gandalf.
- 18.045 Farewell! O Gandalf!’
- 18.051 Anyway by mid-winter Gandalf
- 18.052 and Gandalf took their leave at last of Beorn,
- 19.005 Gandalf it was who spoke,
- 19.006 that he learned where Gandalf had been to;
- 19.006 It appeared that Gandalf had been
- 19.007 Gandalf was saying,
- 19.018 he rode away with Gandalf.
- 19.021 There is a long road yet,’ said Gandalf.
- 19.025 You had better take this, Gandalf.
- 19.033 Gandalf looked at him.
- 19.041 It was Gandalf
- 19.047 Of course!’ said Gandalf.
