can we please have a clue?
This one is really hard!

hobbitlass · 10-21-2002, 04:13 PM

Merry is saying it about Pippin to Theoden at Orthanc.

"Welcome, my lords, to Isengard!", he said, "We are the door-wardens. Meriadoc, son of Saradoc is my name; and my companion, who, alas! is overcome with weariness is Peregrin son of Paladin, of the house of Took."

TolkienGurl · 10-23-2002, 08:54 PM

Good job hobbitlass! Wow, now it makes sense! [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img] [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

hobbitlass · 10-23-2002, 09:05 PM

Merlilot probably has forgotten about this one so I'll go ahead and post.....

Morgoth Bauglir · 10-24-2002, 07:48 AM

galadriel?

Aramacil · 10-24-2002, 09:40 AM

I think it's Gimli

TolkienGurl · 10-24-2002, 11:20 AM

maybe Aragorn?

Legolas · 10-24-2002, 12:23 PM

Aramacil has it

Wait for hobbitlass to say so, though [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]

hobbitlass · 10-25-2002, 04:40 AM

Armicil (and Legolos) that's correct. It is Gimli. They had reached the place were Eomer's eored fought and burned the orcs.
Go ahead.

Aramacil · 10-25-2002, 05:15 AM

Okay, I’ll go ahead
Here’s my quote:

Quote:

I would not snare even an orc with a falsehood

Hobbitlass it’s Aramacil [img]smilies/tongue.gif[/img]

Beren87 · 10-27-2002, 04:57 PM

Hmm, i think it was Frodo to Faramir, though that's probably wrong.

TolkienGurl · 10-27-2002, 07:12 PM

Oh, its Faramir talking to Frodo: [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

Quote:

Faramir smiled grimly. 'Then you would grieve to learn that Boromir is dead?'
'I would grieve indeed,' said Frodo. Then catching the look in Faramir's eyes, he faltered. 'Dead?' he said. 'Do you mean that he is dead, and that you knew it? You have been trying to trap me in words, playing with me? Or are you now trying to snare me with a falsehood?'
'I would not snare even an orc with a falsehood,' said Faramir.

Sorry Armacil, I sometimes forget spellings from the time I read and then post. [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

Aramacil · 10-28-2002, 03:57 AM

you are correct tolkiengurl.
please continue the tread. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

TolkienGurl · 10-30-2002, 08:45 AM

I don't have my book with me right now. [img]smilies/frown.gif[/img] Someone else can go, or you can wait until I get home. Doesn't matter to me!
[img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]

TolkienGurl · 10-30-2002, 05:40 PM

OK here we go:

Quote:

"No time for play on this trip."

Who or what said this?

Morgoth Bauglir · 10-30-2002, 06:10 PM

gollum?

Telchar · 10-31-2002, 04:41 AM

Shagrat?

TolkienGurl · 10-31-2002, 11:58 AM

More vague, Telchar. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

Lostgaeriel · 10-31-2002, 04:49 PM

It was one of the orcs from the Mines of Moria (he is not named) - not one of Saruman's Uruk-hai (example Uglúk) nor one of Sauron's (Lugbúrz) orcs (example Grishnákh) - as they take Merry and Pippin across Rohan.

TolkienGurl · 10-31-2002, 06:10 PM

Correctomundo!

Lostgaeriel · 11-01-2002, 09:41 AM

How comes this?

hobbitlass · 11-05-2002, 06:59 AM

Will you give a little hint, please?

Telchar · 11-05-2002, 08:33 AM

Else I will [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img] hobitlass - the words are said in Rohan

Morgoth Bauglir · 11-05-2002, 02:40 PM

theoden? or grima?

Legolas · 11-06-2002, 10:17 AM

Which of those? [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]

Morgoth Bauglir · 11-06-2002, 02:52 PM

theoden?

Lostgaeriel · 11-08-2002, 10:00 PM

Yes, Morgoth Bauglir, you finally guessed correctly. [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]

This is from The Two Towers, Book Three, Chapter VI, The King of the Golden Hall. Théoden says this in response to the just-released Éomer offering his sword to the king. Háma then answers the king's query.

Go ahead and give us a quote to solve, MB.

Many thanks to Telchar and Legalos for getting in there to offer hints. (I forgot to check if anyone had answered this one.)

TolkienGurl · 11-12-2002, 04:19 PM

Someone post, please? It is Morgoth Bauglir's turn, but if he doesn't post then I will! [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

Lostgaeriel · 11-12-2002, 05:04 PM

I understand that you are itching to post a quote, TolkienGurl, but it's been less than a week since I posted that Morgoth Bauglir answered correctly. At least give him/her the seven days.

I've just now sent him/her a Private Message as a reminder.

If you're that anxious to post a quote, just start another thread. We need more active Quote and Quiz threads anyway.

TolkienGurl · 11-13-2002, 11:33 AM

Hee, hee. Sorry. Maybe I need a life... [img]smilies/rolleyes.gif[/img]

Morgoth Bauglir · 11-13-2002, 02:46 PM

"no, not all"

TolkienGurl · 11-16-2002, 10:03 AM

Is that the whole quote? Can you give us just a few more words? Puhleeze? [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

Beren87 · 12-10-2002, 04:28 PM

Twas Pippin!

-Imrahil- · 12-10-2002, 04:32 PM

pippin I believe.

Beren87 · 12-16-2002, 06:52 PM

Am I correct Morgoth?

Beren87 · 12-21-2002, 04:04 PM

Hmm, I know I'm correct so I'm simply going to go.

Quote:

Why must you disturb my rest?

-Imrahil- · 12-22-2002, 01:39 AM

Denethor?

Beren87 · 12-22-2002, 01:50 AM

Nope it twasn't Denethor.

Saruman, I believe. When Gandalf and Theoden and company go knocking on Orthanc.
