From Lord of the Rings: Fellowship of the Ring. The Ring Goes South
`May you have joy of the sight, my good dwarf l' said Gandalf. 'But whatever you may do, we at least cannot stay in that valley. We must go down the Silverlode into the secret woods, and so to the Great River, and then -'
He paused.
'Yes, and where then?' asked Merry.
'To the end of the journey – in the end,' said Gandalf. 'We cannot look too far ahead. Let us be glad that the first stage is safely over. I think we will rest here, not only today but tonight as well. There is a wholesome air about Hollin. Much evil must befall a country before it wholly forgets the Elves, if once they dwelt there.'
From this, could we presume that Gandalf knew what was going to happen, and that the Fellowship would be broken on the shores of the Anduin?
Or did Gandalf just not have a plan for what they'd do after they reached Emyn Muil?
