I know this one! Gandalf says "Mellon" in "A Journey in the Dark" as the answer to the riddle "Speak friend and enter" at the gates of Moria! [img]smilies/tongue.gif[/img]

Whoa there, TheBlackRider and Belegfanaion!

HerenIstarion hasn't yet come back to confirm that Bruce MacCulloch has answered his quote correctly. When he does, it's Bruce's turn to ask. (basic Middle-Earth Fun and Games rules)

If you're really anxious to ask a Quote, just start a new thread (New Topic).

Oops, sorry! I am kinda new to this whole thing.... I forgot that he gets to ask one. [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img] [img]smilies/confused.gif[/img] [img]smilies/tongue.gif[/img]

That's OK and understandable, Belegfanaion. Once someone posts a question (even when it wasn't their turn), it's a great temptation to answer it. (Did it myself recently on another quotes thread. And I think that too was an answer to a question from HerenIstarion that hadn't been confirmed. [img]smilies/eek.gif[/img] )

Hope you're having fun on the Downs. If you (or TheBlackRider) have any (more) quotes or quiz/trivia to challenge us with, start a new topic. There are never enough games to play. It was a few days before I found one with a question pending that I could answer, when I first arrived. (I think it was this very quotes thread.)

As Frodo did so, he now saw fine lines, finer than the finest pen-strokes, running along the ring, outside and inside: lines of fire that seemed to form the letters of a flowing script. They shone piercingly bright, and yet remote, as if out of a great depth. 'I cannot read the fiery letters,' said Frodo in a quavering voice. 'No,' said Gandalf, 'but I can. The letters are Elvish, of an ancient mode, but the language is that of Mordor, which I will not utter here. But this in the Common Tongue is what is said, close enough: One Ring to Bring them all and in the darkness bind them.'"
