The dice roll in the cups and spill out on the table, and though Frodo still doesn't understand the rules of the game, he knows from the looks on the men's faces that the newcomer has won.

He smiles tentatively at the man, unsure whether to be frightened or relieved. Some of the others around the table can get rough sometimes, but he's had them all before so he knows what to expect. He might be sore tomorrow but they won't break any bones, won't do anything that might keep them out of next week's game.

But with this one, who knows? He's barely spoken two words all night. No one even knows his real name! He could be some outlaw on the run, planning to take his pleasure and then slit Frodo's throat, and be off away south before daybreak.

Then again, Frodo's noticed how careful he is in his movements. He might be as gentle a lover as any Frodo's known. Certainly he's the most handsome. And who knows? Perhaps he's the kind of outlaw to take Frodo with him when he runs.

Butterbur says, "Congratulations, Strider," and Frodo dares to hope as he takes the stranger's hand.
