I believe these are Aragorn's last words to Arwen (sappy mood eh Firefoot

That's correct.

Heck, I have missed the quote before!

I recognized it immediately, since I know it by heart .I even told my family to put that in the obituary in case I should die...)

Anyhow, I'd like to see the A's

This is probably guessable for the more skilled people around, but not for me, as yet.

"S"

I'm pretty sure I got all of them. I added one "L" that I missed.

Folwren, I don't think it was quite guessable last round but probably is this one...

Hint: look for key phrases. Don't try to solve the whole thing. Find a phrase or two that you can identify and work from there. I think that is what Firefoot and Guinevere do and I know it's what I do. Don't be too hard on yourself I think you are doing great.

"Yet even as I write it is cooled, and it seemeth to shrink, though it loseth neither its beauty nor its shape. Already the writing upon it, which at first was as clear as red flame, fadeth and is now only barely to be read"

Isildur writing of his experience of the Ring.

And Folwren I'd not have got it without those S's, I needed 'seemeth to shrink'.

From Isildur's scroll about the Ring.

Ah, Kath, you beat me to it.

You're very kind, Mormegil, and I don't think I'm too hard on myself. Just a bit frusterated at times...I ought to be able to get half of these quotes that are guessed. The main problem is often that I get on too late and though it's possible, someone's already got it.

But it's all good and I'm having fun still. I comfort myself that the game will go on and I will someday get one.

Folwren all you have to do is distract Firefoot somehow so she can't get there before you!

Timing is important. I have the luxory of being online quite often.

Firefoot · 07-28-2005, 09:47 AM

I'll second both Morm's and Kath's thoughts... having nearly unlimited computer access is a definite plus (that'll change for me, though, once school starts up again...). Except earlier today I was much distracted in other areas of the Downs... (coughWerewolfcough).

Gr... I have *most* of it, but I haven't got more time to find it just yet. Werewolf calls...

Quote:

"The big lights hurt our eyes, they do," Gollum whined. "Not under the White Face, not yet. it will go behind the hills soon, yess. Rest a bit first, nice hobbits!"

Amazing how many times Gollum tells Frodo and Sam to rest, then wake up, then don't rest yet... I think I just spent more than a half hour on that quote. Nice one, Kath.

Folwren · 07-28-2005, 12:08 PM

Oh, it was nice hobbits!

Kath · 07-28-2005, 02:51 PM
