Hm, that's a short one!
Does it mean : "But not with your death only..." ? (I'm not sure about "door")
If so, could it be Denethor to Faramir ?

Sorry for the delay. Yes that is it near enough. Denethor to Faramir. I don't have the book with me but it is in the SIege of Gondor and I think exactly it is "But not by your death alone" .

Over to you Lady Guinevere

I looked up the exact quote I had in mind:
Denethor : "But in desperate hours gentleness may be repaid with death."
"So be it," said Faramir.
"So be it!" cried Denethor. "But not with your death only, Lord Faramir: with the death also of your father, and of all your people, whom it is your part to protect now that Boromir is gone."
I hope that was the right one!?

I'll need some more time to think out a new quote (and to decide in which language...) though I am very busy these days, so I beg you to be patient.

Yes that is right ... sorryI was confused because when I originally translated it into German I felt allein gave the sense better than nur........

Since I am lazy, here's a quote in German:
Quote:
" Wenigstens haben wir das Glück, zur richtigen Stunde anzukommen, um euch für eure Geduld zu entschädigen."
