Palantir of Fortune! - Page 119 - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

If that is correct, as I believe it to be, that is amazing!!! I don't have any cool emoticons but BRAVO!!!

Guinevere · 06-25-2005, 02:29 PM

Thanks for the compliments, Mormegil! *blushes* ( English isn't even my mothertongue

)
(Explanation: The third word could be "go" or "do" , so the first two almost had to be "we must", and "without" was obvious. Then I tried possible words for -o-- , and when I put in "hope" I recognized the quote, just had to look up the rest.

Oh, and if I remember rightly, this same quote has already been used as Palantir here some time ago(not by me), so it stuck in my mind.)

Kath · 06-25-2005, 04:49 PM

Sorry morm but no, Guinevere is correct. I wasn't aware it had been used before though!

Firefoot · 06-25-2005, 07:33 PM

I'm pretty sure that it was me who used this quote. I hadn't recognized it with so few letters, though.
