"D" Please

Kath · 05-14-2005, 04:42 PM

In the old days hobbits used to go on their travels now and again. Not that many ever came back, and not that all they said was believed: news from Bree, and not as sure as Shiretalk as the saying go.

Is that it? I'm not sure where it's from though as I've not the books as my brother has stolen them.

elronds_daughter · 05-14-2005, 04:53 PM

Beat me to it again! Though I'm still not sure where it's from, either. I spent twenty minutes looking for it and couldn't find it!

Firefoot · 05-14-2005, 07:12 PM

Kath, the quote is correct. It is from the chapter "The Black Gate is Closed," in TTT, right after Sam says the Oliphaunt poem. He also says the quote, to Gollum.

Kath · 05-15-2005, 04:43 AM

Ok next qoute:

elronds_daughter · 05-15-2005, 06:19 AM

How about starting at the beginning: A's?

mormegil · 05-16-2005, 01:53 PM

Let's try the ever prevelant "E"

Maybe if I dedicate all of my time to just this I can come close.

Eruanna · 05-16-2005, 02:32 PM

As usual, I'd like the Ts please.

Ooops, cross posted with Mormegil (great minds and all that

)

I'll take the Rs instead please.
