28 August, 3019 [The Lord of the Rings]
- The travellers overtake Saruman
- Saruman turns towards the Shire
As they came out again into the open country at sundown they overtook an old man leaning on a staff, and he was clothed in rags of grey or dirty white, and at his heels went another beggar, slouching and whining.
[The Lord of the Rings, Appendices]
