Nilpaurion Felagund 08-03-2005 08:32 PM

Thanks!
 
Our Enemy's devices oft serve us in his despite.

That's it.
 
Yours again. :)

Firefoot 08-05-2005 03:30 PM

Correct. :)

Guinevere 08-06-2005 01:40 PM

Frodo wondering if he should tell Faramir more about his errand or not.

Guinevere 08-07-2005 01:59 PM

That's the one!

. . . curb your pride and your greed, or you will fall at the end of whatever path you take, though your hands be full of gold.

Nilpaurion Felagund 08-14-2005 02:13 AM

Ummm . . .
 
Anyone? Anybody at all?

Firefoot 08-14-2005 02:15 AM

The guess that comes to my mind is Gandalf to Thorin, though I was unable to find it.

Nilpaurion Felagund 08-14-2005 02:37 AM

Hmmm . . .
 
Do we accept her answer?

I say yes.

OK, then. Your thread, Firefoot.

Vy ze vay, it's in The Quest of Erebor, UT III 3.

Firefoot 08-14-2005 06:11 AM

Hm, I looked there too - before I looked in the Hobbit, actually. Oh well.

Firefoot 08-15-2005 10:46 AM

Aragorn to the Fellowship?

Dimturiel 08-15-2005 11:25 AM

Aragorn, indeed but not to the Fellowship.

Firefoot 08-15-2005 12:22 PM

Ah, he said it to Éomer.

Dimturiel 08-15-2005 12:24 PM

So he did. Go ahead.

Firefoot 08-15-2005 12:36 PM

Cheers.

Sador to Turin. "So most men teach, and few men learn. Let the unseen days be. Today is more than enough."

Firefoot 08-20-2005 01:32 PM

Correct. :)

Carnimírië 08-20-2005 01:55 PM

Gandalf, to the Council?

Guinevere 08-21-2005 01:24 PM

It is at the Council of Elrond, but it's Glorfindel speaking, about Saruman's statemant that the Ring was washed into the sea.

Carnimírië 08-22-2005 06:59 PM

You've got it, Guinevere. Your thread.

Guinevere 08-25-2005 01:44 PM

thank you, Carnimírië! :)
