Bingo! [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

Tinuviel Took · 05-16-2003, 03:09 PM

Who is M.B.?

Eruanna · 05-16-2003, 03:25 PM

Would that be Morgoth Bauglir?(The Constrainer)

Tinuviel Took · 05-17-2003, 06:11 AM

sorry, but no it is not.

Eruanna · 05-17-2003, 10:08 AM

Ok, how about Meriadoc Brandybuck? [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

Tinuviel Took · 05-17-2003, 10:27 AM

Nope not him either. P.S. Are you on every quiz thread? I've seen on about all I've tried.

Tinuviel Took · 05-17-2003, 10:30 AM

How on earth the word you did not get on that last sentence is beyond me. Ah well, the slings and arrows of outragous fortune.

Sophia the Thunder Mistress · 05-17-2003, 12:55 PM

Meliot Brandybuck perhaps? Dancer of the Springle Ring [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img].

or maybe, Master of Buckland, who at the time of the war of the Ring was Gorbadoc Brandybuck... I think.

Sophia

Arwen Imladris · 05-17-2003, 04:41 PM

Marmadas Brandybuck?: A distant relation of Meriadoc Brandybuck

Merimas Brandybuck?: The eldest of Marmadas Brandybuck’s children

Mungo Baggins?: Grandfather to Bilbo Baggins

Tinuviel Took · 05-18-2003, 10:42 AM

None of those are the person I am thinking about either.

Sophia the Thunder Mistress · 05-18-2003, 01:34 PM

Mentha Brandybuck- the daughter of Marmadas.

Malva (Headstrong) Brandybuck- Gormadoc's wife, and ancestress of Merry

Eruanna · 05-18-2003, 02:14 PM

Mimosa Bunce? She was an ancestress of both Merry and Pippin.

And, yes Tinuviel, I am on nearly every quiz thread (Addicted, Moi?) [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

Tinuviel Took · 05-18-2003, 02:48 PM

I keep running into the thunder mistress too, but unfortunatly both she and the blond avatared one are wrong.

**The Saucepan Man** · 05-18-2003, 07:00 PM

How about Milo Burrows, to whom Bilbo mischeivously gave a gold writing set?

Tinuviel Took · 05-19-2003, 02:10 AM

No. It is a Baggins, a Burrows, a Bracegirdle, a Brandybuck, a Bunce, a Boffin, or a Bolger. Now isn't that helpful? [img]smilies/evil.gif[/img]

Tinuviel Took · 05-21-2003, 08:06 AM

Need a hint?

Eruanna · 05-21-2003, 04:36 PM

Yes please. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

Tinuviel Took · 05-22-2003, 04:56 AM

Was not at the long awaited party, and is more than twenty years younger than Frodo.

Eruanna · 05-22-2003, 03:40 PM

Ok, I think I've narrowed it down to either:
Moto, Myrtle or Minto Burrows, each of them born at least twenty years after Frodo and not specifically mentioned at the party.

Eruwen · 05-22-2003, 03:43 PM

Can you tell us at least which book you can find it in? I have searched all through the family trees at the back of ROTK, and found nothing. Oh, and Eruanna, they were at the party though. Or, at least, that's what it shows on my family tree. That is what is confusing.

[ May 22, 2003: Message edited by: Eruwen ]

Eruanna · 05-23-2003, 08:17 AM

Ah-ha....it's Minto Burrows. he was not at the party (thanks for that Eruwen....I'd forgotten about the party guests names being underlined....Minto's isn't...at least not in my very ancient copy of FotR) [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

Tinuviel Took · 05-26-2003, 10:52 AM

Erunna is correct, the individual I was thinking of was Minto Burrows.

Eruanna · 05-26-2003, 12:39 PM

Who is M.S?

Arwen Imladris · 05-26-2003, 02:10 PM

Sharkey’s Men?

Malbeth the Seer?

Míriel Serindë?

Eruanna · 05-26-2003, 04:19 PM

Third one's the charm Arwen. Miriel Serindë it is. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

Arwen Imladris · 05-27-2003, 02:05 PM

[img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img] How about: A.R.

Arestevana · 05-27-2003, 05:08 PM

*hopeful* (but not very)
Appledore, Rowlie
A resident of Bree, killed in the trouble with Sharkey's men.
Okay, so Rowlie's his first name. Hey, it's all I can find. [img]smilies/frown.gif[/img]

Finwe · 05-27-2003, 05:43 PM

Would it be Andwise Roper? The Gaffer's elder brother?

Arwen Imladris · 05-28-2003, 03:24 PM

Finwe's got it! Andwise ‘Andy’ Roper is Sam’s rope-making uncle.

Quote:

Why, my grand-dad, and my uncle Andy after him, him that was the Gaffer's eldest brother, he had a rope-walk over by Tighfield many a year.

Finwe · 05-28-2003, 06:46 PM

Hmmm... all right then, here goes.

E.E.

Samwise Gamgee · 05-28-2003, 07:48 PM

eomer son of eothain?

Arwen Imladris · 05-28-2003, 08:12 PM

Éomer Éadig?

Finwe · 05-29-2003, 02:54 PM

Arwen got it right. Eomer Eadig it is.

Arwen Imladris · 06-01-2003, 10:19 AM

V.N.

Eruanna · 06-01-2003, 11:00 AM

Would that be Vardamir Nolimon, son of Elros?

Arwen Imladris · 06-01-2003, 04:38 PM

Yes! Very Good.

Vardamir Nólimon, Númenor’s uncrowned King: The son of Elros Tar-Minyatur, accounted the second King of Númenor. When the time came for him to inherit the Kingship, he chose not to accept it, and immediately abdicated in favour of his son, Tar-Amandil.

Your go!

Eruanna · 06-01-2003, 05:30 PM

Thank you.

Who is E.S?

Sophia the Thunder Mistress · 06-01-2003, 06:12 PM

Elwe Singollo, Thingol's Quenya name?

Eruanna · 06-02-2003, 06:07 PM

'Twas Old Greymantle, indeed.

Sophia the Thunder Mistress · 06-02-2003, 07:12 PM
