I do know I've read it just having a horrible horrible mind block.... is it Frodo to Gandalf? That doesn't sound right but this block is annoying me so thats the best I can do sadly

Nope, keep trying. Hope the block goes away; I hate it when that happens.

even when he sneaks out at night it is only to look at the stars, I believe this is Saruman to Wormtongue?

It's Saruman speaking of Wormtongue... but not to him...

*headdesk * Of course. I most certainly need to read RotK again!

Don't be daunted! Want a hint?

Saruman to Frodo, in the Scouring of the Shire.

Indeed you are right, Firefoot! Go ahead!

Thanks.

We have work to do, and this is no time or place for riddling or parleying.
It was said by Faramir, I think to frodo and Sam in Ithilien

Yep. Your go.

Answer?
 

“Soft as butter they can be, and yet sometimes as tough as old tree roots,” was said by Gandalf to Frodo in The Shadow of the Past, FotR.

Right, Rimbaud!
Your turn

Gandalf at the Concil of Elrond.

Bingo!
 

Or more accurately, as luckily Bingo was renamed...Frodo!

The floor is yours.

"bayem het atshp htta uoy aceh hllas raedt rea rdaealy aidl foeber ouyr etfe, oguhth oyu od otn ese hmte."

"Maybe the paths that you each shall tread already laid before your feet, though you do not see them."

I just felt like answering something, although I have no idea who said it. I recall a warping of this line from the movie, but I think perhaps in the book it was Elrond?

Right quote, wrong speaker.

Sounds very much like Galadriel to me............one of those really helpful elvish comments... ;)

'Twas Galadriel indeed. Your turn.

"owe-gebteton tripis, laff won toin krad vilbonoi, nad torgef orf a hilew eth feardlud mood fo file"

Hope that works...

"woe-begotton spirit, fall now into dark oblivion, and forget for awhile the dreadful doom of life."
Luthien to Carcharoth.

Solved so quickly but I take comfort from the fact that at least it was solved by it's speaker!!! Over to you Miss Tinuviel :D

Yes, my delight in her character certainly helped me with this one. :)

And we shall see Gandalf's beard curling when he returns?

Pippin?

correct :)

Gosh that really does show how well Tolkien gave each character a "voice" cos it sounded like Pip but I still can't place the quote :o

"Nyam rae het genrats shaccen fo eth drowl dan elph tof halls moce morf eth dansh fo het kwea "

Many are the strange chances of the world and help oft shall come from the hands of the weak

-Gandalf..

Yes indeed.....

Love your avatar .... btw .... now if Viggo hadn't been available .... how about Hugh J for Aragorn :p

Mithalwen, the 'beard-curling' quote is found toward the very end of the chapter entitled Flotsam and Jetsam. Pippen is saying that Gandalf's beard would curl if he had ent-draught to drink! :)

Somewhat OT
 

Well, I just saw Hugh in "the Boy from Oz," and now I will always envision him running about in Hawaiian shirts singing his heart out.

Well it would be an interesting interpretation ......

Thanks Luthien .... I thought it could well be something like that but had misplaced TTT :)

Here you go.

"Doom hangs still on a thread", but I don't know who said it - Gandalf?

Thats 2 of 3
 

Now just find out to whom it was said and you have a corect answer.

Did he say it to Aragorn, Legolas, and Gimli?

Yes, take it away Firefoot. Oh and reminiscent to old times, "Good Job!"
