Yet another quote that wasn't - Page 6 - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

HerenIstarion · 08-16-2004, 07:31 AM

Probably Gandalf to the council of Elrond, retelling what Barliman may have said hom about Strider and his (Strider's) wish to see hobbits. It would fit into the following:

Quote:

Yes, sir, I am afraid so, sir," said Butterbur, mistaking me. "Tried to see them all private he did. I gave him what for. I wouldn't even take a message. He got at them, in spite of all that I could do, and they took up with him. They behaved very queer all the time they were here: wilful, you might say."

radagastly · 08-16-2004, 08:05 AM

Exactly right! Good one, H-I. That makes it your turn.

HerenIstarion · 08-17-2004, 02:05 AM

Thank you

Next serve:

Quote:

My lord, we spotted a whole lot of those dirty earth-digging creatures up there. They are asleep, and we can easily lay hands on them!

radagastly · 08-21-2004, 12:09 PM

How about this? It could be an orc to the Goblin King in 'The Hobbit.' As the dwarves, Bilbo and Gandalf sleep in the cave at the top of the mountain path, an orc reports their presence to the Goblin King:

Quote:

My lord, we spotted a whole lot of those dirty earth-digging creatures up there. They are asleep, and we can easily lay hands on them!

What the rest of the conversation might be is anybody's guess since this scene is never witnessed, but more than likely took place in some way or other.

HerenIstarion · 08-22-2004, 03:23 AM

Yes, of course

Take it over

radagastly · 08-22-2004, 03:36 PM

Really? That was just a guess to keep the thread from scrolling too far down the page.

Well, okay. Here we go. Something a little different.

Quote:

Yavanna's thoughts among the trees
Awakened in the starlit breeze
He strides the forests full of care
His hooming bellow shakes the air!

Evisse the Blue · 08-23-2004, 01:32 AM

is this the continuation of Gandalf's poem:

Quote:

Ere iron was found or tree was hewn,
When young was mountain under moon;
Ere ring was made or wrought was woe
It walked the forests long ago.

Yavanna's thoughts among the trees
Awakened in the starlit breeze
He strides the forests full of care
His hooming bellow shakes the air!

That was a cool idea, btw

radagastly · 08-23-2004, 06:23 AM

Evisse has it. This one was fun, coming up with the rhyme. Your turn.

Sorry for the delay, everyone. Have at it!

HerenIstarion · 09-03-2004, 03:04 AM

Sounds like Gandalf to Saruman in Orthank, as reported by the former to the council of Elrond.

Evisse the Blue · 09-04-2004, 01:14 AM

Yep, that's the one!

HerenIstarion · 09-13-2004, 01:23 AM

next one:

Quote:

‘They are coming from above too! Come away, or they'll swaddle you!

HerenIstarion · 09-22-2004, 03:10 AM

they had eight legs each

Evisse the Blue · 09-22-2004, 05:11 AM

Useful hint!

I suppose it goes like this: "Come down! Come down! Don't stay up there and be netted! They are coming from above too! Come away, or they'll swaddle you! "

Bilbo to the dwarves, about the eight-legged freaks.

HerenIstarion · 09-22-2004, 05:16 AM

correct

Evisse the Blue · 09-22-2004, 05:27 AM

Thanks!

"and closer to my heart. I feel ready to go on now."

Obscure? Maybe...

radagastly · 09-23-2004, 07:19 AM

Might this be Merry to Pippin on the edge of Fangorn:

Quote:

Merry got up. 'Yes,' he said, 'I can manage it. Lembas does put heart into you! A more wholesome sort of feeling, too, than the heat of that orc-draught.

"and closer to my heart. I feel ready to go on now."

Evisse the Blue · 09-23-2004, 08:14 AM

but unfortunately not the one I had in mind. You're close though, both in terms of geography and timeline...

radagastly · 10-12-2004, 11:43 AM

Okay, one more try. Could this be Legolas, in about the same spot, but about a day and a half later:

Quote:

"It is old, very old," said the Elf. "So old that almost I feel young again, as I have not felt since I journeyed with you children. It is old and full of memory. --and closer to my heart. I feel ready to go on now-- I could have been happy here if I had come in days of peace."

Evisse the Blue · 10-12-2004, 01:08 PM

Correct, you got it - it was indeed very obscure, but apparently not impossible. Well done, your go!

radagastly · 10-13-2004, 08:33 AM

That was a tough one. It's one of my favorite lines from Legolas, so I don't know why I didn't think of it sooner. Guess it's time to catch up and join in the Chapter by Chapter forum.

Anyway, here goes:

Quote:

"I've waited long enough for things to come my way," says she. "I won't stand by and let you ruin it now!"

Evisse the Blue · 10-18-2004, 07:25 AM

Is it Lobelia to Frodo, in A Long Expected Party:

Quote:

"You'll live to regret it, young fellow! I've waited long enough for things to come my way," says she. "I won't stand by and let you ruin it now!"

radagastly · 10-18-2004, 09:23 AM

You're both close and way off. Lobelia is certainly involved, but the actual speaker is not Frodo as he is the one listening, and the chapter is way off.

Evisse the Blue · 10-19-2004, 06:33 AM

Your hints make me almost a hundred percent sure it's the following:

Quote:

"I'll give you Sharkey, you dirty thieving ruffians", says she, and ups with her umbrella and goes for the leader, nearly twice her size. "I've waited long enough for things to come my way," says she. "I won't stand by and let you ruin it now!"

Tom Cotton telling Frodo the latest news in "the Scouring of the Shire"

radagastly · 10-19-2004, 09:46 AM

Dead on! Good one! Your turn . . .

Evisse the Blue · 10-20-2004, 03:51 AM

Thanks. Here I go:

"...and what shall become of the rest of the company if I were to follow my heart?"

Evisse the Blue · 10-31-2004, 12:37 PM

It ain't that difficult...It's quite easy actually, compared to other quotes here...
HINT: check FOTR.

HerenIstarion · 11-26-2004, 05:30 PM

Sounds a bit like Aragorn just as he was deciding what to do - chase orks or follow Frodo, but I can't find exact passage to fit it in...

Evisse the Blue · 11-27-2004, 07:26 AM

Yeah that's it, you can have it.
The exact quote was somewhere around here:
"Boromir has laid it on me to go to Minas Tirith and my heart desires it; but where are the Ring and the Bearer ..and what shall become of the rest of the company if I were to follow my heart?"

Evisse the Blue · 01-04-2005, 06:31 PM

HI?

Evisse the Blue · 02-26-2005, 07:16 AM

*louder this time*

Heren Istarion?

HerenIstarion · 02-26-2005, 07:29 AM

Such a loud call can not be left unanswered

'Yes, m'am? I'm all ears, m'am! Ah, I've missed one, m'am. You know how it is, one thing driving out another, that kind of thing, m'am. My apologies, m'am!'

Next one up:

Quote:

Haul him up quick, or he'll die!

I hope not much damage was done due to my tardiness, m'am

Evisse the Blue · 02-26-2005, 07:37 AM

LOL. You are forgiven, it wasn't my intention to sound so mean.

It's just I get cranky if I go without my toys for too long, hehe. (j/k)

Here's a quick guess: Someone in the Fellowship could have said this just before Gandalf's fall in Moria, as he was 'grasping vainly at the stone.'

HerenIstarion · 02-26-2005, 07:57 AM

Thank you, m'am

Not, it was earlier. Would it be earlier 'a lot', or ealier 'a bit', depends on race perspective. It would have been 'a bit' for an elf, 'a lot' for a human

Evisse the Blue · 03-15-2005, 08:13 AM

Hmm. Maybe in The Hobbit when they are surrounded by goblins and Gandalf suddenly leaps from the tree only to be caught by the Lord of the Eagles? One of the dwarves or Bilbo could have shouted this...

HerenIstarion · 03-15-2005, 08:16 AM

Very close, but not cigar. Take it a little bit to the east from the spot you named, and some weeks later

Evisse the Blue · 03-15-2005, 08:25 AM

When Bilbo rescued the dwarves from the spider's web in Mirkwood?

HerenIstarion · 03-15-2005, 01:17 PM

Almost there. Several days back, few miles west

Evisse the Blue · 03-16-2005, 09:26 AM

When Bombur falls in the water and the others have to drag him out.

Yep, actually here it fits the best.
