Here's a nice Halloween quote: [ October 31, 2002: Message edited by: Estelyn Telcontar ]

Tidwald to Torthelm, whom he thought to be frightened by an owl hoot

That's it, HI - your turn!

Thanks

+ about whom + circumstances

Niggle is speaking of Parish to the Two Voices in 'purgatory' after both men have died.

aiwa, meaning , "yes" :)

Here's an optimistic quote for the day:

that's old Master Cook, smith's grandfather, to Alf when he (grandfather) was leaving

Quite right, HI - your turn!

I confess I'm going to cheat :rolleyes: (just a little), but who said this:

That quote was a bit tricky, HI, though I was sure I would find it in Tolkien's essay 'On Fairy Stories'. There he quotes Andrew Lang, who made the above statement.

Yes, Esty, that's him :)

Here's a new quote for you:

Badger-brock to Tom Bombadil :)

Yes indeed, HI - go ahead with a new one!

well, off we go!

Time to get this neglected thread going again! The answer is: Farmer Giles of Ham, trying to make sense of everyone talking all at once!

corrr-r-r-rrect :D

Here's a quote that tickles my fancy: Who says it, and of whom?

Anyone want to take a shot at this quote? It's quite easy!

well, that's First Voice about Niggle in ":eaf by Niggle"

That's right, HI - you're next!

That was the King, Augustus Bonifacius Ambrosius Aurelianus Antoninus Pius et Magnificus, dux rex, tyrannus, et Basileus Mediterranearum Partium, speaking to Farmer Giles of Ham (or, if you prefer, Ægidius Ahenobarbus Julius Agricola de Hammo).

Mais oui, c'etait lui vraiment, Bonifacius rex etc etc :) Madame, votre tour, je vous en prie...

Um, Madame is me, right? And it is my turn - but that's all I can guess. What little French I had the opportunity of learning has been mostly forgotten, unfortunately! Well, here's a new quote:

Nokes to Alf at the putting of silver star into the Great Cake

Yes, HI, quite right - your turn!

Sounds to me like the Queen of Faerie talking to Smith. Or am I off with the fairies myself?

* HerenIstarion announces Squatter's answer in Minor Works quotes to be correct

He can't remember his forum password, so I pasted that from the chat for him.

Go on, Squatter!

Thanks Legalos.

That's Tídwald to Torhthelm in 'The Homecoming of Beorhtnoth Beorhthelm's Son'.

That's the one. Your turn, Esty.

Tom Bombadil a-rowing

Yes indeed, HI - please go ahead!

That's the Giant, explaining to his relations why he didn't stay in the Middle Kingdom.

That's him. Go ahead [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]
