Oh, I do recommend it, it's one of my favourites (actually all of the UT is something I really like, so much lore in there

).

Now, on to a new quote:

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

Now, let's hear some letters!

Aganzir · 12-20-2008, 10:25 AM

I could do with some T.

Beregond · 12-20-2008, 10:30 AM

WWW please!

Guinevere · 12-20-2008, 10:35 AM

Are there any O's?

Tuor in Gondolin · 12-20-2008, 10:47 AM

"e"s, please.

Lindale · 12-20-2008, 08:22 PM

I hope I got it all right with the letters. Seems to be an easy one from now on.

Btw, I apologize that in the previous two posts the next to last word was written as a five-letter word, it has six, as is to be seen in the first post with this quote.

Tuor in Gondolin · 12-25-2008, 11:48 AM

There is more in you of good then you know, child of the kindly West.

Thorin's deathbed speech to Bilbo.

Samwise · 12-25-2008, 12:43 PM

There is more in you of good than you know, child of the kindly West.

The Might · 12-25-2008, 09:20 PM

Samwise has indeed the 100% correct sentence, however I'll give this one to Tuor, since I myself very well know how easy it is to make the "then/than mistake". Why, I still make it today in many of my posts...

So, Tuor, take it away!

Tuor in Gondolin · 12-26-2008, 08:03 AM

Oops! Well, that'll teach me about not
looking up a quote to double-check it.

How about:

The Might · 12-26-2008, 08:46 AM

Well, I realised it was a mistake since the E's had all been given, so it could only be an A at that spot.

Speaking of E's... E!

Ha! Another U.T. quote!

Quote:

Spare me Lord! Indeed I will say naught of our meeting to any that live.

Grima Wormtongue to the Lord of the Nazgûl in "The hunt for the Ring".

Tuor in Gondolin · 12-30-2008, 08:17 AM

Yesss. It's poor Wormy being picked on.
And not by some nassty hobbit!
