"You all seem in league!" "Never again will I have dealings with any wizard or his friends. What have you to say, you descendant of rats?"

The enraged Thorin (to Gandalf and Bilbo) when he discovers that the Arkenstone is in the hands of his enemies

Nerwen · 09-19-2017, 05:14 AM

You've got it!

And I thought I was being so clever- "No-one will be expecting another "Hobbit" quote," I said to myself...

Your turn!

With pleasure. I read that part of LR recently, so I had a bit of an advantage. I'll never get the quote from a single letter, though, as G55 did earlier.

Mith, did you by any chance quote from memory? Because I *think* it's this:

"Though as pretty a maidchild as any one could hope for, taking after Rose more than me, luckily."
-Sam, "The Grey Havens".

But in that case it looks like your version must have "any one" as one word, and "wish" for "hope". Or is this a difference between editions of LotR? (I'm going by the 1991 Harper Collins edition).

*blushes* I didn't quote from memory but I did fill in the esses from memory and substited wish for hope. I was working from the Kindle edition as nearly all my books are still in store (hoping to exchange any day, please Eru). In that anyone is one word. It is the fiftieth anniversary edition that attempted to has attempted to correct errors that crept in typesetting and digitalisation and sometimes for consistency. There is a lengthy note on it all. So half my error half my edition.
