Guinevere 05-20-2007 03:36 AM

Well, it looks like:

"Somebody has been disarranging things here!"

I thought it might be from the Father X-mas letters, or from Roverandom, but haven't been able to locate it so far. :(

Estelyn Telcontar 05-20-2007 04:10 AM

Yes, that's absolutely right! And it is Father Christmas speaking to Polar Bear (am I polar bear obsessed these days, what with Knut and all?!) - and it wasn't the young polar bears who were responsible for the disorder.

Interesting general thought - evil and disorder go hand in hand...

Guinevere 05-21-2007 02:51 AM

Ah, thank you, Esty! :)
(Frankly, I wouldn't have the time right now to reread every father X-mas letter!)

Estelyn Telcontar 05-21-2007 12:52 PM

Estelyn Telcontar 05-21-2007 12:54 PM

We cross-posted - can you add the Ns for me, please?

Guinevere 05-21-2007 12:57 PM

Estelyn Telcontar 05-28-2007 09:51 AM

Still can't recognize anything - must be T-time! ;)

Guinevere 05-28-2007 10:40 AM

Estelyn Telcontar 06-01-2007 02:59 PM

I have no idea where to find this quote - it doesn't sound familiar enough for me to locate it. Maybe another letter will give me a clue.

A, please.

Guinevere 06-01-2007 03:28 PM

AS THINGOL (please excuse the forgotten g :( )

Estelyn Telcontar 06-05-2007 07:14 AM

Ah, finally! I discovered it despite a missing "y" in lucky. ;)

It's The Man-in-the-Moon, speaking to Roverandom about the children who have come there.
Quote:

That I ain't going to tell you at all, and you'll never find out. You are lucky, and so is anyone, to get here by any way at all; but the children don't come by your way, at any rate.

Guinevere 06-05-2007 12:58 PM

Exactly!
 
So sorry for forgetting a letter again! http://www.myrias.de/Templates/Webpr...embarassed.gif

Estelyn Telcontar 06-06-2007 01:08 AM

No problem, Guinevere, it happens to the best of us - and you are the best! :cool:

Here's a new quote for you:
