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

Encaitare · 08-01-2004, 08:40 PM

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

ElenCala Isil · 08-01-2004, 08:46 PM

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

Encaitare · 08-01-2004, 09:10 PM

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

ElenCala Isil · 08-01-2004, 09:16 PM

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

Encaitare · 08-02-2004, 10:56 AM

Don't be daunted! Want a hint?

Firefoot · 08-02-2004, 11:48 AM

Saruman to Frodo, in the Scouring of the Shire.

Encaitare · 08-02-2004, 08:01 PM

Indeed you are right, Firefoot! Go ahead!

Firefoot · 08-02-2004, 09:32 PM

Thanks.

It was said by Faramir, I think to frodo and Sam in Ithilien

“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.

Lostregiel · 08-05-2004, 10:11 AM

Right, Rimbaud!

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

"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?

Firefoot · 08-07-2004, 07:12 AM

Right quote, wrong speaker.

Mithalwen · 08-07-2004, 11:59 AM

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

Firefoot · 08-07-2004, 12:41 PM

'Twas Galadriel indeed. Your turn.

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

Mithalwen · 08-10-2004, 10:44 AM

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

luthien-elvenprincess · 08-10-2004, 06:38 PM

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

Pippin?

luthien-elvenprincess · 08-14-2004, 03:24 PM

correct

Mithalwen · 08-15-2004, 11:33 AM

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

Yes indeed.....

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

luthien-elvenprincess · 08-15-2004, 02:22 PM

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!

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.

Mithalwen · 08-17-2004, 11:31 AM

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

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

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

Sleepy Ranger · 08-30-2004, 12:36 AM

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

Firefoot · 08-30-2004, 05:01 AM

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

Sleepy Ranger · 08-30-2004, 05:34 AM

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