Yes, this thread is great :)

And the answer must be Mouth of Sauron about Gandalf?

Re: Aliiive

Ah, but Gandalf was The White by then! Who else then? Gandalf had many enemies... Could it be the Goblins of the Misty Mountains after Gandalf's (and Thorin &amp; Co's) rescue by the eagles? Saruman after Gandalf was rescued (again) by an eagle from Orthanc? Perhaps Gollum after Gandalf had &quot;wrung the truth from him&quot; in Mirkwood? The Nazgûl after their run-in with Gandalf at Weathertop?

Re: Aliiive

It could be the Wargs after Gandalf drives them back. He was still Gandalf the Grey at that point.

Ai!

Alas, none of these are right; sorry about my departure. I shall let this run for a while. Or would you like me to give you a hint? <img src=wink.gif ALT=";)">

Hmm

Actually, many of those answers that have been given would well fit into my quote; but the one I am after is none of those. Do not fear, Lorien Wanderer! The answer is right under your nose. I'll give a hint, because things have to move along. The person that I am thinking of having 'said' that was not one who would be classically associated as a 'bad guy.' <img src=wink.gif ALT=";)">

Re: Hmm

Maybe it's Gandalf meaning that he will return Narya to Círdan when he returns into the west <img src=tongue.gif ALT=":b">

Re: Hmm

Maybe it's the Ring itself, referring to its plan (!) to reunite with its dark Maker and wreak havoc on Gandalf and the rest of Middle-earth.

Re: A new quote that wasn't

Could it be Theoden, after Gandalf makes off with Shadowfax, shortly after his escape from Orthanc.

Re: A new quote that wasn't

Okay, this might be really easy, but who might have said:

&quot;I do not deny, she is stunning, but I happen to prefer brunettes.&quot;

And to who would they have said it?

-amyrlis</p>

And the answer must be Eomer to Gimli about Galadriel and Arwen

Re: A new quote that wasn't

Or Aragorn to Eomer (or Faramir) about Eowyn and Arwen.

Re: A new quote that wasn't

HI, you are correct! I was thinking of Eomer speaking to Gimli regarding his preference of Arwen's beauty over that of Galadriel.

Re: A new quote that wasn't

Perhaps it was Thrain to Gandalf in the dungeons of the Necromancer. When he was giving him the map.

It would have been Cirion and Eorl the Young, on Amon Anwar.

Re: A new quote that wasn't

I'm afraid I can't think of one right now. Does someone else have one to ask?

I've got one. Who might have said:

Any of the Rohirrim to Eomer

I suppose it could have been Gandalf, but Legolas was who I was thinking of. Anyway, 2 out of 3 is close enough. Ask away!
