Ah, that's Alf to Smith, when he comes back from Faery after the meeting with the Queen.
"Are you going my way, Starbrow?"

HerenIstarion 06-28-2004 05:08 AM

precisely :)

Guinevere 06-28-2004 02:42 PM

Thank you :)

I am sorry for you

HerenIstarion 06-29-2004 06:29 AM

Tidwald to Torhthelm:

Quote:

I have cares of my own
in my heart, Totta, and my head's weary.
I am sorry for you, and for myself also.
Sleep, lad, then! Sleep!
good advice, for one as sleepy as I'm now

*H-I yawns politely covering his mouth with enormous peacock-feather fan...

Guinevere 06-30-2004 02:09 AM

:D Correct, of course, Heren Istarion. Please proceed.

HerenIstarion 06-30-2004 02:15 AM

Now we move on

Dear me! dear me!

Mariska Greenleaf 07-07-2004 06:39 AM

That was Chrysophylax to Giles, in Farmer Giles of Ham.

Quote:

"Dear me! Dear me!", said the dragon, "I shall be ruined!"

HerenIstarion 07-07-2004 07:30 AM

spot on! proceed :)

Mariska Greenleaf 07-07-2004 07:32 AM

thanks!

Quote:

I can hear something.

Guinevere 07-09-2004 12:26 PM

That might be Tídwald ...

Thorhthelm: Then listen Tída! There are low voices, moans and mutterings, and mumbled laughter. They are moving hither.
Tídwald: Yes, I mark it now, I can hear something.

Mariska Greenleaf 07-11-2004 12:59 PM

Good answer. You may proceed, MyLady! ;)

Guinevere 07-12-2004 12:23 PM

Thank you Mariska!

What do you hang back for?

Estelyn Telcontar 07-15-2004 06:11 AM

That was the King, speaking to his men-at-arms after Farmer Giles of Ham demanded his crown. (And the answer to his question was Chrysophylax...)

Guinevere 07-15-2004 06:44 AM

Yes, exactly! :)

Quote:

I am stiff lying here

Mariska Greenleaf 07-19-2004 03:22 AM

That was Tom Bombadil to Old Man Willow, when he had captured Tom:

"You let me out again, Old Man Willow!
I am stiff lying here; there no sort of pillow,..."

Estelyn Telcontar 07-19-2004 06:32 AM

I'm sure the hobbits would agree with Tom that it was an uncomfortable bed! Right you are, Mariska - go ahead!

Mariska Greenleaf 07-19-2004 06:37 AM

I'm sure they would agree on that!

Owls are omens.

Estelyn Telcontar 07-19-2004 03:33 PM

That's Torhthelm speaking to Tídwald in The Homecoming of Beorhtnoth Beorhthelm's Son:
Quote:

An ill boding. Owls are omens. But I'm not afraid, not of fancied fears.

Mariska Greenleaf 07-20-2004 12:43 AM

Exactly! :)

...you have the last word.
Not on this thread though! ;)

HerenIstarion 08-04-2004 06:25 AM

First Voice (Justice) to Second Voice (Mercy) in Leaf By Niggle, as the debate concerning Niggle's further fate was concluded.

Estelyn Telcontar 08-04-2004 06:28 AM

Excellent, Heren! Nice to have you back on this thread, which has been sleeping rather soundly lately... You're next!

HerenIstarion 08-04-2004 06:46 AM

Since the work performed is evaluated as 'excellent', I now request that you:

Quote:

come bring to me my fee
;)

Estelyn Telcontar 08-04-2004 06:52 AM

That has to be the Corrigan, in The Lay of Aotrou and Itroun - I don't remember any other mentions of a fee in a minor work.

HerenIstarion 08-04-2004 06:55 AM

Indeed, that was Corrigan. And that was real fast! Take it away :)

Estelyn Telcontar 08-04-2004 06:57 AM

OK, taking it away then:
Quote:

Let's get away from this first!

HerenIstarion 08-16-2004 07:17 AM

Sounds a bit like Moon Rover to Roverandom concerning 'getting outta this cave' issue, as they strayed into White Dragon's lair. Can't bet on it though - no books handy at the moment :)

Estelyn Telcontar 08-25-2004 03:40 PM

Right book, wrong speaker, wrong location...

HerenIstarion 09-01-2004 01:27 AM

Finally - that was Mr Artaxerxes, in answer to Roverandom's plea to turn him (Roverandom) back to normal, for he (Artaxerxes) was too busy collecting his stuff and things - being just cast from the PAM office :). The back-turning procedure thus was postponed till they 'got away from this' - i.e. the sea.

Estelyn Telcontar 09-01-2004 01:35 AM

Bingo, HI! Your turn next!

HerenIstarion 09-01-2004 02:48 AM

Estelyn Telcontar 09-22-2004 06:15 AM

After more than enough time...

The villagers in Farmer Giles of Ham, speaking of the dragon Chrysophylax.

HerenIstarion 09-22-2004 06:24 AM

Yes, of course :)

Estelyn Telcontar 09-22-2004 06:31 AM

Here's a new one, or something similar...
Quote:

At least it looks like it.

HerenIstarion 10-06-2004 02:55 AM

Nokes to Prentice, when the latter was showing him the Star returned to the box it came from

Estelyn Telcontar 10-06-2004 04:31 AM

Correct, HI - go ahead with another!

HerenIstarion 10-06-2004 05:55 AM

Quote:

Such a lot of disturbance, just at my best time for sleeping

Estelyn Telcontar 10-06-2004 06:08 AM

That sounds like Psamathos Psamathides, from Roverandom, though I haven't looked it up yet.
