*something very close to a sigh*

Kath · 07-22-2005, 04:47 AM

You got it Guinevere! Maybe next time for you Folwren.

Guinevere · 07-22-2005, 12:53 PM

Thank you, Kath.

(btw, I found the quote out before you added the E's, honestly! Otherwise I would have left it for Folwren to solve. The clue was the "I" at the end of a sentence. I guessed it must be "you and I." which seemed vaguely familiar and led me to guess "Come with me!")

Anyway, here's a new one to puzzle over:

"It needs but one foe to breed a war, not two, Master Warden," answered Eowyn. "And those who have not swords can still die upon them."

Guinevere · 07-23-2005, 05:10 PM

I thought you'd get it now. Well done!

Kath · 07-24-2005, 05:25 AM

Thanks, it took me ages because I kept thinking that warden referred to Denethor

And putting the letters in capitals makes it very difficult to tell when a word is a name or not. Is this intentional?
