- I can see a tree that I have never seen before and say, "My how that
- tree has grown." The fact that it is large is proof enough of its growth.
-
- In the same way, Saruman could say the same thing about Frodo. It was
- clear that Frodo had grown from seeing what he had become: it was not
- necessary to have seen where he started. Especially since Saruman was
- fairly well acquainted with hobbits in general. (In addition to his
- studies of them, he had just spent a fair amount of time ruling
- the Shire.) The fact that Frodo was "greater" than the average hobbit
- indicated that he had grown somewhere.
