|
| Gandalf made a queer mark on the green door which said, "Burglar wants a good job. Plenty of excitement and reasonable reward". I have searched for many years and have never found what that mark looks like. Anyone know? |

| I searched online and found that someone asked this question back in 2002 and someone answered it. They said that this book on Amazon has an illustration of the mark on page 91. You can read the forum thread where this question was asked and answered right here. Hope this is what you wanted! |

In looking around to see if purchase someone had scaned that page I ran across this:
