Verily thus spake Agatha the Queen-to-be-but-than-farmer's-wife upon Garm the dog:

Quote:

Shut up!... or you'll never live to see if he comes back or he don't.
Referring, of course, to valiant Julius' brave venture to North-West in order to claim treasure promised (but never brought) by the dragon...

Estelyn Telcontar 06-01-2006 06:33 AM

Right you are, and nice to have you active on this thread again, HI! Pray proceed with a new one.

HerenIstarion 06-01-2006 06:40 AM

Thank you, m'am, indeed it's great to pay calls to places of old glory ;)

New one may in part be applied to yours truly's situation as it is now... but I'll explain myself later, when you crack the quote :D

Quote:

--- ----, --- ----, --- ----- --- ---- - ---- -- ---- -- ---. -- ---! -- --- --- --- --- ---! --- ------‘- --- --- --- --!

Estelyn Telcontar 06-01-2006 08:21 AM

T-time!

HerenIstarion 06-01-2006 08:30 AM

sornt
 
Sornt? What on earth a 'sornt' may be? I suppose we'll never know... but should we care? It's a tea time!

Quote:

Aha! :) T time indeed!

Quote:

You Jack, and Hogg, old Bunce and Pott
I wish no more to see.
Be off! Be off now all the lot!
The Winkle's the boy for me!
The lonely Troll chasing away the other Hobbits...

HerenIstarion 06-01-2006 08:40 AM

Tea time and answer to the T :)

And now explanation I owe you - I chase off my friends wishing to see 'the boy for me' - my son, as he's too small yet for visitors :D

You have the grounds, lady Guinevere

Guinevere 06-01-2006 09:33 AM

Thank you! and here's another one for you ;)

"--------/ -----/ ----/ --/ -/ ------/ --/ ---/ ---/ --/ -----/ ----/ -------/ ----."

Estelyn Telcontar 06-01-2006 09:45 AM

Sssss pleassse, precioussss...

Guinevere 06-01-2006 09:50 AM

"--s-----/ -----/ ----/ -s/ -/ --ss--/ --/ ---/ ---/ --/ ----s/ ----/ ------s/ ----."

Tuor of Gondolin 06-01-2006 10:39 AM

"a's?

Guinevere 06-01-2006 01:22 PM

"--s-----/ -----/ -a--/ as/ -/ -***--/ --/ ---/ ---/ --/ -a--s/ ----/ ------s/ ----."

Edit: Silly censure-program! *** = A.S.S. ;)

Estelyn Telcontar 06-01-2006 01:37 PM

N-y time's the right time for Ns!

Guinevere 06-01-2006 01:51 PM

N - but we only has one

"--s-----/ -----/ -a--/ as/ -/ -***--/ --/ ---/ ---/ --/ -a--s/ ----/ --n---s/ ----."

*** = A.S.S.

Estelyn Telcontar 06-01-2006 02:02 PM

Hmmm, would a "P" help get rid of that editing problem?

Guinevere 06-02-2006 02:30 AM

Thank you for removing the stars, Esty! ;) But I'm sorry there are no other P's

"--s-----/ -----/ -a--/ as/ -/ pass--/ --/ ---/ ---/ --/ -a--s/ ----/ --n---s/ ----."

Tuor in Gondolin 06-02-2006 10:40 AM

"e"s?

Estelyn Telcontar 06-02-2006 10:54 AM

...and Ts, please, while you're at it.

Guinevere 06-03-2006 09:31 AM

"-est-e-e/ t-e-e/ -a-e/ as/ -/ passe-/ --/ t-e/ ---/ --/ -a-es/ ----/ --n---s/ ----."

Estelyn Telcontar 06-03-2006 10:16 AM

I'm puzzling over that first word - are there any Rs?

Guinevere 06-03-2006 10:25 AM

Good question! ;)

"-estre-e/ t-ere/ -a-e/ as/ -/ passe-/ --/ t-e/ -r-/ --/ -a-es/ -r--/ --n---s/ ----."

Estelyn Telcontar 06-03-2006 10:32 AM

Still searching, but maybe another letter wil help: D, please.

Guinevere 06-04-2006 12:29 PM

TRAPS END

"-estre-e/ t-ere/ -a-e/ as/ -/ passed/ --/ t-e/ -r-/ --/ -a-es/ -r--/ --nd--s/ ----."

Estelyn Telcontar 06-04-2006 02:33 PM

I'm going to have to keep trying letters - I have no clue as yet where to find that line.

Y, please.

edit: No need, I guessed the first letter right and finally found the quote! It's in The Lay of Aotrou and Itroun; the speaker is not clear, but I assume it is one of their people saying:
Quote:

Yestreve there came as I passed by
the cry of babes from windows high.

Guinevere 06-04-2006 02:37 PM

Good choice! :)

"Yestre-e/ t-ere/ -a-e/ as/ -/ passed/ -y/ t-e/ -ry/ --/ -a-es/ -r--/ --nd--s/ ----."
