Guinevere · 11-15-2004, 02:35 PM

How about R ?
Edit: don't need the R's after all:

Quote:

"Well, my merry folk," he said, "will you drink another draught with me before you go ?"

It's Treebeard to Merry & Pippin on the way back after the war.

Got it in 6 again, Guinevere.

The thread is yours ...

Guinevere · 11-16-2004, 01:44 PM

Thanks!

I'll name it in 6:

Quote:

For little price do Elven-kings sell thir daughters: for gems, and things made by craft. But if this is your will, Thingol, I will perform it.

Beren to Thingol, concerning the latter's request that Beren obtain a Silmaril in return for the hand of his daughter.

Guinevere · 11-17-2004, 02:35 PM

Well done SPM !
I guess the capital T of Thingol gave you an idea, but I wasn't able to write it all in capitals...

**The Saucepan Man** · 11-17-2004, 05:43 PM

Well yes, the capital 'T' did help, although I started out looking for a quote with "Theoden" in it.

Here's the next one:

Sorry, I've a bit vague on the rules for this game yet. Please forgive me if I make a fool of myself.

Tuor of Gondolin · 11-18-2004, 07:28 PM

Might/ I/ ask/ what/ you/ were/ doing/ up/ in/ the/ mountains/ of/ (awe?)/, and/ where/ you/ were/ coming/ from/, and/ where/ you/ were/ going/ to/? In/ fact/ I/ should/ like/ to/ know/ all/ about/ you/.

Sorry, this got accidentally posted as I was working on it. I didn't even know it had been posted for a while, so then I thought it might be even more confusing if I took the quote off.

No idea of the speaker.

The Great Goblin to the Dwarves and Bilbo, from The Hobbit.

Tuor of Gondolin · 11-18-2004, 11:13 PM

Not at all.

I was actually thinking of The Hobbit, but the only one the
quote semed to fit was Beorn (drat!).

**The Saucepan Man** · 11-19-2004, 03:21 AM

Quote:

Hehe. The reason that I chose it was because it is such an un-Goblin-like thing to say.

Well done, Nilpaurion.

You're up next ...
