Let's try...

the utterly predictable S, please.

"--/ ----/, -----'s/ --/ -----/ ----/ ----/, ----/ s--/," (....) "---/ -----/ -/ s----/ --/ ----/ ---/ ---/ ----/ -/ ----/ -/ ----/."

S T
 

Predictable, yet not very helpful...

T, please

Not so many T's either...

"--/ ----/, t----'s/ --/ -----/ ----/ ----/, t---/ s--/," (....) "--t/ -----/ -/ s----/ --/ ----/ ---/ ---/ ----/ -/ ----/ -/ ----/."

Hmmm, maybe I should try something less usual - G, perhaps?

Only one G for S T (sorry!)

"--/ ----/, t----'s/ --/ -----/ ----/ ----/, t---/ s--/," (....) "--t/ -----/ -/ s----/ g-/ ----/ ---/ ---/ ----/ -/ ----/ -/ ----/."

R?

+ one R

"--/ ----/, t--r-'s/ --/ -----/ ----/ ----/, t---/ s--/," (....) "--t/ -----/ -/ s----/ g-/ ----/ ---/ ---/ ----/ -/ ----/ -/ ----/."

As my favorite letters are getting me nowhere, I'll try one of yours: O, please.

STRG + 5 O

"O-/ ----/, t--r-'s/ -o/ -----/ ----/ -o--/, t---/ s--/," (....) "--t/ -----/ -/ s----/ go/ ----/ o--/ ---/ ----/ -/ ----/ -/ ----/."

N, please

STRGO +N

"O-/ ----/, t--r-'s/ no/ -----/ ----/ -o--/, t---/ s--/," (....) "--t/ -----/ -/ s----/ go/ ----/ on-/ ---/ ---n/ -/ ----/ -/ --n-/."

L, please

STRGON +L

"O-/ --ll/, t--r-'s/ no/ -l---/ l---/ -o--/, t---/ s--/," (....) "--t/ -----/ -/ s--ll/ go/ ----/ on-/ ---/ ---n/ -/ ----/ -/ --n-/."

"h"s?

STRGONL + H (good choice! It will probably reveal a clue ;) )

"O-/ --ll/, th-r-'s/ no/ -l---/ l---/ ho--/, th--/ s--/," (....) "--t/ -----/ -/ sh-ll/ go/ ----/ on-/ ---/ -h-n/ -/ h---/ -/ --n-/."

Found! - though I had to page all the way through Roverandom first, because I thought it sounded like it was located there. However, it's in Farmer Giles; the giant is speaking to his "scattered relations":

Yes, well done, Esty! I hope you're not mad at me for wasting so much of your time... ;)

Not at all! I enjoyed it, and I always do my best to find some that will be tricky for you - but you're fast!

I will post a new one after the weekend, as I will be away for the next couple of days.

Well, I'm back...

Let's start with A

A
 

...- -a- ---a---; a-- - -a-- -a- -a----- -- ----- -- --a- --- a-- ---- --- -- ---- --- a ----.

...I was delayed; and I have had matters to think of that put all else out of mind for a time

Smith to his son, just after he (the smith) has given up the Star.

Oh my goodness, how on earth did you guess that from just one letter?! Correct, of course, HI! Please continue with a new puzzlement...

a-- - -a-- -a- was the clue - poetry excluded at the outset, Smith, Rover and Farmer being the first three to pop to mind, Smith - lucky first choice to scan through :)

Next one, than:

S, please

s
 

Of course:

Let me tell you (as an additional clue) that I've just did the same as the hero of the quote did and do feel well too :D

Wow, HI strikes again! :D you're really amazing.

Are there any O's ?

As always, it's T-time!

sot
 

I'm flattered, Lady Guinevere

*bows

Lady Estelyn, you're verily right :D

R, please

how about E's ?

sotre
 

both present:

That's Perry-the-Winkle, in The Adventures of Tom Bombadil: Sounds yummy - did you visit a Troll, HI? ;)

The vocabulary in this quote is interesting - "fulsome" is a word, but as far as I know "cramsome" isn't. I can't help but think that he's 'full some' because he 'crammed some'! :D

Unfortunately, no troll bakeries around, it was an ordinary one :D

Cramsome sounds nice by me :) And of course, you've got it, pray proceed

Maybe this applies...

Let's start from the very beginning
 

So I'd be glad to see some As in there

N please

"o"s, please.

...a very good place to start...
 

(continuing HI's Sound of Music theme! ;) )

-- -a- --- ---- -a-- - ---- -a--, an- --a-'- -a--n- -o-----n-.
