"Here is a thing unheard of! An elf will go underground and a dwarf dare not!"

Gimli to Legolas about to go into the Path's of the dead. I was wrong, when I first thought I knew what it was...and I still don't have my book.

Ibrîniðilpathânezel · 12-19-2010, 01:20 PM

Actually, it was the "walk (something) in darkness" that tipped me off. I usually figure that if I need to do a computer search to find the quote, I need to read the books again.

I will have the next puzzle up this evening. Right now, I'm taking a short breather before I have company coming for an afternoon Christmas tea... supper... thingie. Man, this place is a wreck...!
