First and Second Voices about Niggle's progress to the second stage of his treatment

'Twas the First Voice, speaking to the Second Voice, so you have it, Heren! Your turn...

next one, than [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

It was "The time has come. Let him choose."

It's Prentice speaking to Smith in Smith of Wootton Major

yup [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img], that's him. pray proceed

Who's this negative character?

I've been looking and can't find it - a clue please?

You ought to pay more attention to your dialogues. I'll not light any more candles in the dark.

Ah, my first instinct was right, and I found it the second time around - it's Tídwald speaking to Torhthelm in The Homecoming of Beorhtnoth Beorhthelm's Son.

I didn't think you really needed that clue. Indeed it is, and it's your turn to give us a quote.

Alas, this appears to be the motto of this thread:

This is a rare instance of a Troll talking about baking: It's the Lonely Troll addressing a large group of uninvited guests in Perry the Winkle, one of the poems from The Adventures of Tom Bombadil.

Right you are, Squatter - pray proceed!

yep

This will be literally true if I don't sign off soon. Who's this cheerful character?

Well, it took awhile, but I did finally find it in a very minor work! Itroun is the speaker, in The Lay of Aotrou and Itroun.

Absolutely, Estelyn. I was wondering when someone would get that one.

Well, now that we have successfully resuscitated this thread,

The eponymous hero describes to Mew the tribulations of those who fail to stay out of the affairs of wizards in Roverandom.

...as Gildor warned Frodo.

Yes, that's right, and you may continue!

Don't mind if I do, yer 'Ighness.

that be Tidwald:

about marauders.

It would indeed, Heren. It's good to see you back.

thanks [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

here be dragons:

um?

That's the older dragons in Farmer Giles of Ham, hoping that knights are dying out:

that was quick [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

yes, indeed. Pray proceed

For some reason, the word "rare" stuck out to me in that quote - I couldn't help but wonder if that's how the dragons like their knight served?! ("One knight, medium rare, with a salad and fries on the side") [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]

Here's a new quote:

That's Tídwald; telling Torhthelm to get on with his work in The Homecoming of Beorhtnoth.

That's right, Squatter - you must know that poem by heart already! Your turn...

This question doesn't refer to me, because the evidence of that is right here in black and green.

That's one dog to another, the title hero of Roverandom asking his moon friend about the Man-in-the-Moon.

Closed due to length

Thanks. :)

"Minor works" Quotes
 

The old thread is closed, long live the new thread! Let's continue the tradition started by Heren Istarion in hopes that he will be able to join us often! Here is the list of Tolkien's works that we've been using:

Since I found the last quote on the old thread, I will start us off with a new one:

Sounds something Green Knight might have uttered, but I can not find it. A clue, perhaps? :)

The speaker is another author, quoted by Tolkien.

hum... Andrew Lang in "On Fairy Stories"?

You got it, HI!! That quote amuses me:

mushroom driven visions arise: marching yellow dwarves hand in hand with green knights and loads of Ricardos after them...


:) Presumably, my turn to serve. Here we go, than:


yeah, I'm a bit sleepy, despite it being the midst of a working day
:smokin:

That would be Aotrou.

hola, Bruce, haven't seen you for ages :)

Yes, that's the guy. Go ahead
