[HerenIstarion]

Last post on each page -- an issue worthy to be added to Top Ten Signs You're Addicted to the Barrow-Downs list!

Well, next quote:

Indeed! And what may be your business?

A. My business is with Isengard tonight, with rock and stone
B. Whatever it is, it's my own, my good elves
C. I am bound here till midnight. A sorry business altogether
D. I have, as I told you, some pressing business away south
E. A very ticklish business, it was. Touch and go!
F. It mustn't ask us. Not its business, no, gollum!
G. This is merrymaking not business. Come and go as you like, as long as you don't make a noise
H. Never you mind. I was finding things out, as usual; and a nasty dangerous business it was
I. It's my business to ask questions after nightfall

[Sleepy Ranger]

It is B and Bilbo said it the good elves

[HerenIstarion]

you are fast! I certainly spent sevenfold (at least) time contriving it, as all entries are genuine quotes (so I thought to fool you)

[Sleepy Ranger]

So then the next one-

I see a white stream

1- And a meadow
2- Burning in a dark land giving way to lost
3- flowing through a cave
4- Around a magnificent city
5- that comes down from the snows
6- thats flows through the valleys
7- with fish
8- there lies the answer
9- where we can swim
10- There we shall rest for a while

10 options must be a new record

[Firefoot]

5 - Legolas said it to Gandalf, Gimli, and Aragorn.

[Sleepy Ranger]

Correct!

[Firefoot]

Thank'ee.

It is a sign of the end and fall of many things, and...

1- I do not believe we will meet again.
2- the time of the Elves is passing.
3- a change in the tides of the world.
4- the great battle of our time is coming.

[HerenIstarion]

Aragorn just after the battle of Pelennor Fields, before the Gates of Minas Tirith

[Firefoot]

Yes.

[HerenIstarion]

Continue me this:


No you don't!

A. Not gold alone brought us hither
B. Put him down, and listen first to what he has to say
C. You are only quite a little fellow in a wide world after all
D. I don't, because I am not sending it
E. Let your legs take their share, we have carried you far enough
F. You don’t belong here; you’re no Baggins - you - you’re a Brandybuck!
G. Yes I do! And I mean what I say, what's more
H. But perhaps you don't mind bad smells
I. Because the bacon knows that it will get back in the pan sooner or later

***

Now, two of the answers are correct. I'll get along even if only one is guessed out, but I'd be pleased even more if both are.

[Sleepy Ranger]

Is it I,

In the Hobbit I think. Uh a dwarf to Bilbo. er, name the dwarf. Lucky guess time.
um, Is it Dori to Bilbo. wait was it even a dwarf who said it? I'm confused.

[Firefoot]

One of them is E - it was the Dwarves to Bombur, after he had woken up.

[HerenIstarion]

You've got your dwarf. It was Dori to Bilbo as the latter compared their flight with eagles to feelings of bacon taken by the fork out of the pan and up on shelf

Another correct quess would have been E, dwarves again, to just waken up Bombur expressing the wish to go to sleep again (in Mirkwood)

edit:

Cross-posted wit Firefoot here. Correct you are. I suppose it was my mistake to have two correct answers, my apologies. I never thought about possiblity of two people giving different correct answers almost simultaneously . But I suppose it is Sleepy's turn all the same, as there is some ten minutes gap in his favour

cheers

[Evisse the Blue]

I hate to do this to you, Sleepy, but since you're not around and it's been more than 10 days...I'll steal your turn at a new one:

Though at the moment I feel more:

A. at peace then I had in years
B. weary then usual
C. scared than I did then
D. certain of defeat than I do of victory
E. jealous of Arwen then I've had in a long while
F. like singing, if you get my meaning
G. inclined to give Grima the benefit of the doubt
H. like butter spread over too much bread
I. of a weary hobbit than a hero
J. hungry and less thirsty
K. like eating and drinking

New record - 11 options

[Firefoot]

K - Frodo said it to Pippin.

[Evisse the Blue]

Ah, Firefoot, always right, impossible to mislead...
Go ahead!

[Firefoot]

D, Aragorn to Gimli on the eves of Fangorn Forest, as they discuss the possibility of Saruman nicking off their horses

[Firefoot]

Yes.

[HerenIstarion]

So:

I feel magnificent:

A. but I expect I look rather absurd
B. Those mushrooms went down well

F. I am magnificent. Sam the mighty, Hero of the Age!
G. This pyre is so warming

[Evisse the Blue]

welcome back, HI! glad you feel magnificent!
The answer's A. First I thought it was Frodo when he put on the mithril coat, but then I realized it was actually Bilbo on the same occasion!

[HerenIstarion]

Thank you

Your answer is correct too take it over

[Evisse the Blue]

A. to see these days renewed
B. and in battle we may yet meet again
C. to the end of my quest

E. to your funeral

[Sleepy Ranger]

Its D,
Gimli said it to Theoden

[Evisse the Blue]

You got it, Sleepy.

[Evisse the Blue]

Wake up call for Sleepy!

[Sleepy Ranger]

Zzzzzzzzz *snort* huh? wha? where am I? Oh right... Here you go.

Atleast he must get up

1. And see us off.
2. And help move this stuff.
3. sing us a tune.
4. Cook the dinner.
5. And make his dreams reality.

[Firefoot]

Right you are.

[Sleepy Ranger]

bump

[Firefoot]

[Firefoot]

[HerenIstarion]

Ugh!

A. It isn't fair, my precious, is it, to ask us what it's got in its nassty little pocketses?

C. It isn't bird-nesting time
D. it is cold and clammy!
E. it is a pool or a lake, and not an underground river
F. it is an elvish blade, too
G. It isn't all that big, and it does not go far back.

[Sleepy Ranger]

Its B

[Sleepy Ranger]

Since HI is not replying and no one else is and it looks like the chances of me making last post are bad so... I have an idea. Ahem sorry. The answer is D. It is cold and clammy.

[HerenIstarion]

Now D is correct

[HerenIstarion]

Now, this is post #159. Have a go at the last one with the new quote

[Sleepy Ranger]

Thank you. A very kind gesture indeed. After Plan A failed, I moved to Plan B. But HI used Plan C. (Hope I confused all of you.)

A. if you shall not harm me.
B. He was a brave man and died an honorable death.
C. and give you some good advice.
D. They give out free Toy Rings™ with each McDonalds Happy Meal.
