Sam to Faramir, of Galadriel:

"perhaps you could call her perilous, because she's so strong in herself. You, you could dash yourself to pieces on her, like a ship on a rock, or drown yourself, like a hobbit in a river. But neither rock nor river would be to blame."

That was a tricksy thing, Nilpaurion, to cut out the 'but'. It was actually 'but perhaps...'

Nilpaurion Felagund · 09-10-2004, 12:11 AM

Was I tricksy???
No, really. I meant no tricksiness.

Still, the thread is thine.

Evisse the Blue · 09-10-2004, 03:56 AM

Well, maybe not intentionally tricksy, but it sure fooled me as I was looking for that sentence which began with 'Perhaps...'

Here's the next one:

"---/----/---/--------/---/-/----/---/----/----/---/----/-/---/-----------/. ---/-----/-------/--/----/--------/---/, ---/-----/---/-/-------/--/-------/----/------."

"So you spoke", said Eomer, "but hope oft deceives and I knew not then that you were a man foresighted. Yet twice blessed is help unlooked for, and never was a meeting of friends more joyful."

Evisse the Blue · 09-10-2004, 02:51 PM

I had a feeling you'd get it, Guinevere, but I didn't expect it so fast!

Well done, the thread is yours!
