Guinevere 10-03-2005 12:32 PM

I think I got the whole sentence, more of less, but I'm just not able to place it! :(
I've been looking for the Outer Lands everywhere but not in the right story, it seems... ;)

Would you please add the E's to confirm my guess of words #9 and 15 ?

Tuor of Gondolin 10-03-2005 12:40 PM

"h's, please.

It is an unexpected reference in an unexpected story - that makes it so tricksy! ;)

The alphabet still has some clues to offer for this quote - anyone going to try before time's up?

Guinevere 10-10-2005 03:47 AM

As far as I can see, the quote is:
"No one from the Outer Lands is supposed ever to come here; and few ever do now."
But I still haven't found from which of the Minor Works it is. Perhaps someone else will recognise it now?

Estelyn Telcontar 10-10-2005 04:31 AM

The quote is correct, Guinevere! So far, so good - now, try to recall who does some unexpected traveling to unusual places...

Estelyn Telcontar 10-13-2005 12:28 AM

...to quote a much beloved ( :rolleyes: ) line from the movie: "Shall I get you a box?"

Clue: Not all those who wander are human.

Estelyn Telcontar 10-16-2005 02:08 PM

Time's up!
 
Shall I give you the answer or just leave it a mystery and start a new quote?

Guinevere 10-16-2005 02:25 PM

Heck, I kept hoping that someone of the other participants would eventually find it! (Where is our all-knowing wizard?!)
I am just not able to spot it skimming through the books. So I have given up.
But please do solve this mystery first before starting a new quote, Esty!

It was spoken by Uin, the whale, to Roverandom and the Mer-Dog, whom he had taken for a ride to forbidden territory, within sight of Faery. At this point of the tale, the children's story touches his Legendarium!

Guinevere 10-17-2005 01:56 PM

This time you really stumped me, Esty! I've looked everywhere else in "Roverandom" - I had completey forgotten about this little excursion! http://www.travar.de/~allskins/Webpr...s/wallbash.gif

May I have the T's, please?
