In chapter 10, Strider gives information only in exchange for being able to come along on their journey with them. I think that this is a good exchange because a Ranger should know the land for miles very well. When Frodo agrees to his terms, he is about to give information when the inn keeper comes in with a letter from Gandalf that he was supposed to deliver 3 months ago. I think that this might have vital information in it that could have passed months ago. The letter tells him to leave immediately and that they should meet at Rivendell in 2 months, which was when Frodo left. I hope Gandalf has not left Rivendell yet. That night the village is checked through by Black Riders but do not find Sam, Pippin, Merry, Frodo, Or Strider because they blocked the windows and doors with furniture.
It is a VERY wise move to travel with Strider, as he is the type of character that might be played by Viggo Mortensen if this book were ever to be made into a movie. And women LOVE Viggo Mortensen. Also, the black riders are LOUSY at playing hide and seek - "I'm hiding behind a couch....you can't get me!" ...really?
