"You speak gravely," said Elrond, "but I am in doubt. The Shire, I forebode, is not free now from peril; and these two I had thought to send back there as messengers, to do what they could, according to the fashion of their country, to warn the people of their danger. In any case, I judge that the younger of these two, Peregrin Took, should remain. My heart is against his going."
On one level, he seems to be talking only about the danger that The Shire is in. However, that last part, "My heart is against his going" sure sounds like some foreshadowing, something more than just the danger The Shire is in.
