I'll start with my favorite "T"s, please...

Guinevere 11-26-2004 03:43 PM
T is served...

Second voice about Niggle's Parish:

Quote:
It is splendid for convalescence; and not only for that, for many it is the best introduction to the Mountains
!

Guinevere 11-27-2004 06:39 AM
Correct!

Wow, HerenIstarion! This is almost uncanny... :eek:

HerenIstarion 11-27-2004 06:52 AM
I know I'm great, I know! :smokin:

Seriously, convalescence gave it away - too long and uncommon a word, you know :)

Concerning the method, 'short words' are almost always easy to get, when you have t's - i.e it, that, not, but, get type of words, and, when one has a 13-letter key word in there, the rest is the speed of search :)

Ok, on to next one:

Quote:

Guinevere 11-27-2004 07:47 AM
That's a long one! Can I have the A's ?

HerenIstarion 11-27-2004 07:55 AM
of course:

Estelyn Telcontar 11-27-2004 11:17 AM
I'll stick with my favorite starting letter and ask for "T"s, please.

HerenIstarion 11-27-2004 03:34 PM

How about some "s"s?

HerenIstarion 11-27-2004 04:28 PM

Underlined and bold word is were I omitted one T in my previous. My apologies

rutslegolas 11-27-2004 10:58 PM
And some "R"s please.

Guinevere 11-28-2004 07:13 AM
Can't do without some E's after all...

Estelyn Telcontar 11-28-2004 01:37 PM
....and some "N"s too please.

HerenIstarion 11-28-2004 02:14 PM

Aha! :)

"You have concealed your honorable name and pretended that our meeting was by chance; yet you are plainly a knight of high lineage. It used, sir, to be the custom of knights to issue a challenge in such cases, after a proper exchange of titles and credentials."
Chrysophylax to Farmer Giles

HerenIstarion 11-29-2004 02:02 AM
The floor is yours, Your Majesty :)

Guinevere 11-29-2004 02:50 PM
Thank you! :)

Estelyn Telcontar 11-29-2004 04:11 PM
At the risk of being boringly repetitive, I'm going to ask for "T"s again...

Guinevere 11-29-2004 04:28 PM
And quite a lot of T's ! ;) I hope HI doesn't see it already!!

Tuor of Gondolin 11-29-2004 04:41 PM
"s"s, please.

HerenIstarion 11-29-2004 04:50 PM
Oops, I did it again...
 
I've seen it already:

straight/ is/ the/ ----'s/ --t-/ to/ the/ ----/ of/ the/ -----/, for(and)/ that/ ----/ the/ ----/ for (and)/ into/ the/ ----/. That's/ what/ she (you, him, her)/ -----t---/ told (said, made, done)/.

Straight being the keyword, the answer is:

Quote:
Straight up the moon's path to the edge of the world, and then over the edge and onto the moon. That's what old Psamathos said.

Guinevere 11-30-2004 09:22 AM

HerenIstarion 11-30-2004 09:42 AM
I suppose its mere luck :)

Next one:

Oh, I have it! That was Corrigan to Aotrou (in The Lay of Aotrou and Itroun):
Quote:
Let thanks abide till thanks be earned!
Such potions oft, men say, have burned
the heart and brain, or else are nought,
only cold water dearly bought.
