This would again be clear to Gandalf that the negotiator doesn’t hold all the information, the suggestion being that Frodo’s spying has failed, unaware that Frodo’s errand is the destruction of the Ring. Or else his errand was one that you did not wish to fail? It has. Gandalf did not have anything to fear as as long as they thought Frodo was a spy, Gandalf knew he was indeed still on his errand.įurther evidence to the Mouth of Sauron’s cluelessness is shown in his lack of knowledge of Frodo’s errand: Gandalf shows that he has more information and knowledge of Frodo's belonging than the Mouth of Sauron, as he is aware there is one crucial piece of Frodo's belongings missing, that which is most valuable to Sauron. Return of the King, Book V, Chapter 10: The Black Gate Opens Indeed, I know them all and all their history, and despite your scorn, foul Mouth of Sauron, you cannot say as much. ‘So you have yet another of these imps with you!’ it is plain that this brat at least has seen these tokens before, and it would be vain for you to deny them now.’
In addition, the Mouth of Sauron reveals he has far less information than he believes:
(Gandalf also would've felt the pull of the One Ring if Sauron had worn it again, kindly reminded by Ian Bush). Regardless of what the Mouth of Sauron tried to bully them with, Gandalf knew that as long as this was happening, Frodo was in Mordor with the Ring and Sauron still thought it was with the host of the West. Gandalf knew Frodo was carrying the Ring.
