Guinevere, I found it in Two Towers, in the chapter: The voice of Saruman.

Ok, new one:

That would be Gandalf in the Houses of Healing, about Merry and Eowyn. To whom? Um, Aragorn, Eomer, Pippin...

Good work!
Proceed please.

Guinevere · 03-22-2004, 02:06 PM

Thank you, Mariska!

Ooh, bonus points. That would be that Sauron payed no more mind to Thrain than to get the Dwarven Ring. He missed the map and key, wise fool.

Hopefully I can get this post up this time... my computer is being stupid.

Turambar to Hunthor , when they didn't know where Glaurung would cross Teiglin.

That indeed was the quote I had in mind. But at the time I had not my Return with me. Hence the misquoting.

The thread is yours, anyway. Really sorry.

It's ok, Nil!

Thanks.

That's Tom Bombadil to the Hobbits, if I remember rightly...

Evisse the Blue · 01-13-2005, 07:03 AM

You do remember rightly.

Your turn.

Guinevere · 01-13-2005, 08:10 AM

Thank you, Evisse !
