"i"s?

Annunfuiniel · 04-17-2008, 01:26 PM

Oh my, I'm so sorry Guinevere! You're right, of course. And I checked the quote at least 3 times before posting that answer...

You got the quote and the characters right so the thread is yours.

But, to be exact, these lines were spoken by Farmer Giles to Chrysophylax. So this quote indeed exists twice, though the wording isn't identical (Chrysophylax' words were: Excuse my asking, but were you looking for me, by any chance?).

Please carry on, Guinevere!

Guinevere · 04-17-2008, 02:31 PM

I have been wondering if this quote occured in LotR or the Hobbit as well, because for the Minor works we have a separate thread:
Palantir of Fortune Minor works edition
Esty and I would be happy if someone else would join us and revive the thread!

Anyhow, here is a new quote :

"---/ ----/ ----/ ---/ ---/ ----/ ---/, --/ ----/ ----/ ----/ --/ ----/, --/ ------/ --/ --/ ---/ ----/. ---/ --/ --/ ---/ --."

Tuor in Gondolin · 04-21-2008, 08:24 AM

"v"s?

Aganzir · 04-21-2008, 10:37 AM

E, please.

Samwise · 04-21-2008, 03:36 PM

S, as in Sam, please?

Eönwë · 04-21-2008, 04:17 PM

How about a u (or is it an u)

Samwise · 04-21-2008, 04:42 PM

(it's "a" u.)

"H" as in Hobbit?

I shall be away for a week, with no computer access (Going to the German Tolkien Seminar in Jena ). so no additional letters until then, sorry!

Samwise · 04-22-2008, 09:50 AM

.... a Y

Eönwë · 04-22-2008, 01:35 PM

How about an "o"

Samwise · 04-22-2008, 02:01 PM

Have fun, Guinevere !

Eönwë · 04-22-2008, 02:31 PM

Oh, and an "a"

PS. Yes, have fun.

Can I have the A's please?

Aganzir · 05-02-2008, 02:59 PM

Yes, I can see it now

Gimli speaking:

"The legs of men will lag on a rough road, while a dwarf goes on, be the burden twice his own weight, master Boromir!"

Azaghâl · 05-05-2008, 01:45 AM

You're right of course. You may proceed now.
