Gandalf learns of Frodo in Bree

Black Riders invade the house at Crickhollow, and Fatty Bolger flees in terror. The Bucklanders fight back and drive the Black Riders, who now know the Ring is no longer there, and is now out of the Shire. Gandalf finds Crickhollow in an uproar and he rides towards Bree, following the Black Riders' trail. In Bree Gandalf learns Frodo left that morning with Aragorn.
