Ah, that's where the "wholesome" came from! Good one, Foley.

Guinevere · 01-29-2012, 04:50 AM

Correct, of course.

The thread is yours, Folwren.

Btw I just notice that in the Hobbit, the Dwarves use contractions, whereas Gimli in the LotR never does!

Galadriel55 · 02-04-2012, 10:35 AM

Wow, that was really quick! 4 Letters and you got it! And it's not a poem either!

Nice observation. Interesting.

Folwren · 02-04-2012, 11:05 AM

Well, done Guinevere! I needed just one more letter, and then I would've got it. I mean, how often does "Bless me!" turn up in Tolkien's work, anyway?

Guinevere · 02-04-2012, 12:01 PM

Thank you! "Bless me" was indeed a clue

First I searched in the LotR, thinking it must be a hobbit speaking. What made me look in the right place, were all those questionmarks, and "song".

"----!" he cried "-----/! ----/ ---/ ------/ ---/ ------/. -/ -----/ ----/ ---/ --/ --/ ---/ -/ -------/ --/ --/ -----/."

Galadriel55 · 02-04-2012, 12:12 PM

E's please.

It would be fun if for the next time I do the quote I found a line without a single E in it!

Folwren · 02-04-2012, 09:02 PM

S's

Fun, but hard.
