IT'S MAD

"I'm/ ----i--/ m-/ ---s/ ----/ a-d/ I'--/ ----s-/ ---/ ----/ I/ -i-d/ ---/ t-/ s-it/ m-/."

"u"s, please.

MUST AID

"I'm/ ----i--/ m-/ ---s/ ----/ a-d/ I'--/ ----s-/ ---/ ----/ I/ -i-d/ ---/ t-/ suit/ m-/."

"r"s, please.

No R's at all, I'm afraid.

E, please

USA TIMED (no R)


"I'm/ -ee-i--/ m-/ e-es/ --e-/ a-d/ I'--/ ----se/ --e/ --e-/ I/ -i-d/ --e/ t-/ suit/ me/."

P, please

Actually, I've deciphered enough words to find the quote - if only I could find it! I've skimmed through all the minor works attempting to do so, with no success so far. Could you give just a tiny clue, perhaps whether it's a work of prose or poetry? That would narrow down the search.

"I'm/ -eepi--/ m-/ e-es/ -pe-/ a-d/ I'--/ ----se/ --e/ --e-/ I/ -i-d/ --e/ t-/ suit/ me/."

No poetry. I don't want to waste your precious time, so I tell you that it's from "Smith of Wootton Major"

Ah, it took a very thorough reading, but I finally found it, thanks to your clue!
The Master Cook in Smith of Wootton Major, speaking of a possible apprentice

Yes, that's right.
Perhaps it was a bit too short and obscure, but I thought it was applicable to the finding of quotes for this game :D

No problem - finding a fairly obscure quote gets me to study the works more closely and to find something I hadn't remembered! I enjoy that - and can ask for hints when I'm really stumped, like this time. And it is a very appropriate quote! Now for a new one:

"r's?

1 R
 

--- -- --- ----? --- -- ---- -----, ---r---- - --?

I'd like to have the A's please

"n's, please.

1r 1a 2n
 

--- -- --- ----? --- -- n-n- ---a-, ---r---- - --?

S perhaps ? :rolleyes:

+1s
 

--- -- --- ----? --- -- n-n- s--a-, ---r---- - --?

Nothing revealing so far!!

How about my favourite O ?

5 O
 

--- -o -o- ----? --- -o non- s--a-, ---r---- - -o?

W's please !

Edit: don't need them after all :

"Why do you hide? Why do none speak, wherever I go?" ( From the Sea-Bell)

Guinevere, you're incredible! So few letters and such an obscure quote - I can't believe that you already got it! Applause... no - standing ovations!

(The quote reminds me of an empty chat room or a thread on which nothing is happening... ;) )

Thank you for the flowers, Esty! :) (and yes, the quote was very applicable!)


"-------/ ------/ ----/ -------/, --/ --/ ---'-/ ----/ ----/ -----/."

Let's start off with my traditional favorite this time: S, please

"------s/ -----s/ ----/ ------s/, --/ --/ ---'-/ ----/ ----/ ---s-/."

Every S needs a T
 

T-time! As a matter of fact, it's always T-time for S T!

:D

"-----ts/ -----s/ ----/ ------s/, --/ --/ ---'t/ ----/ t---/ ---st/."

Rs?

"u"s?

R added, but no U , sorry!

"-----ts/ -----s/ ----/ -r----s/, --/ --/ ---'t/ ----/ t---/ --rst/."

I Spy
 

Any Is?

"--i--ts/ -----s/ -i--/ -r----s/, i-/ --/ ---'t/ -i--/ t---/ -irst/."

"f"s?

N-y Ns?

"-ni--ts/ -----s/ -i--/ -r---ns/, if/ --/ --n't/ -i--/ t---/ first/."

"o"s?

Not necessary - the first word gave it away.

Yes, well done Esty! :)
