Multiple-choice Beginnings and Endings of Quotes - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

Continue me this:

No you don't!

A. Not gold alone brought us hither
B. Put him down, and listen first to what he has to say
C. You are only quite a little fellow in a wide world after all
D. I don't, because I am not sending it
E. Let your legs take their share, we have carried you far enough
F. You don’t belong here; you’re no Baggins - you - you’re a Brandybuck!
G. Yes I do! And I mean what I say, what's more
H. But perhaps you don't mind bad smells
I. Because the bacon knows that it will get back in the pan sooner or later

***

Now, two of the answers are correct. I'll get along even if only one is guessed out, but I'd be pleased even more if both are.

Is it I,

In the Hobbit I think. Uh a dwarf to Bilbo. er, name the dwarf. Lucky guess time.
um, Is it Dori to Bilbo. wait was it even a dwarf who said it? I'm confused.

One of them is E - it was the Dwarves to Bombur, after he had woken up.

HerenIstarion · 07-11-2004, 12:37 PM

You've got your dwarf. It was Dori to Bilbo as the latter compared their flight with eagles to feelings of bacon taken by the fork out of the pan and up on shelf

Another correct quess would have been E, dwarves again, to just waken up Bombur expressing the wish to go to sleep again (in Mirkwood)

edit:

Cross-posted wit Firefoot here. Correct you are. I suppose it was my mistake to have two correct answers, my apologies. I never thought about possiblity of two people giving different correct answers almost simultaneously

. But I suppose it is Sleepy's turn all the same, as there is some ten minutes gap in his favour

cheers

I hate to do this to you, Sleepy, but since you're not around and it's been more than 10 days...I'll steal your turn at a new one:

Though at the moment I feel more:

A. at peace then I had in years
B. weary then usual
C. scared than I did then
D. certain of defeat than I do of victory
E. jealous of Arwen then I've had in a long while
F. like singing, if you get my meaning
G. inclined to give Grima the benefit of the doubt
H. like butter spread over too much bread
I. of a weary hobbit than a hero
J. hungry and less thirsty
K. like eating and drinking
