Correct, zifnab - the second sentence is it! Now you get to try!

zifnab · 10-10-2002, 02:17 PM

Thanks Esty. I'm fairly new to this type of 'quoting' so bear with me if it's not up to par.

Nice one, zifnab! Here's the original:

Quote:

'Yes,' said Strider reluctantly, 'you had better do that. I am afraid we shall have to try to get one pony at least.'

zifnab · 10-10-2002, 02:29 PM

That's right Esty! Good job! [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

Estelyn Telcontar · 10-10-2002, 02:38 PM

Let's see if you can figure this one out:

Quote:

When I've been awake a long time, hot sand under the feet is different from drought under crisp carrots.

Susan Delgado · 10-10-2002, 03:27 PM

Though I've not consulted the book, it sounds like someone(Sam?) saying, "When I'm napping, cold water in the face is the same as...a flood of limp potatos?

The last part doesn't seem quite right, though

Estelyn Telcontar · 10-11-2002, 12:18 AM

You're thinking in the right direction, Susan; the 'limp potatoes' tickle me! Keep going and you'll find it.

Childlike Empress · 10-11-2002, 12:22 AM

Can we have a hintlet, please? [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

HerenIstarion · 10-11-2002, 04:47 AM

Susan's whole post was one great hint, heh

it's Sam of course:

Quote:

But if you're short of sleep cold water on the neck's like rain on a wilted lettuce

but i'll gladly pass the right to proceed to Susan, for she got it to be honest, I just looked up the exact quote

Estelyn Telcontar · 10-11-2002, 07:08 AM

OK then, Susan - I'm looking forward to what you come up with!

Susan Delgado · 10-11-2002, 10:47 PM

Thanks, HI [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

Bard?

Good guess! But not even close [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

Estelyn Telcontar · 10-15-2002, 01:14 AM

Susan, will you give us a clue, please, or narrow down the scope of the search? I'm looking through LotR, but haven't located that quote yet.

HerenIstarion · 10-15-2002, 02:28 AM

May it be description of Morgoth's servants from Sil:

Quote:

Water all his servants shunned, and to the sea none would willingly go nigh, save in dire need

water as opposite to both earth an air? "Dire need" as opposite to "mood"

...?

Susan Delgado · 10-15-2002, 08:09 AM

It's in Fellowship

Lothiriel Silmarien · 10-15-2002, 01:26 PM

Goldberry? Is the quote about Tom Bombadil?

Susan Delgado · 10-16-2002, 12:30 AM

Close, but no cigar [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

edit: What quote were you thinking of?

[ October 16, 2002: Message edited by: Susan Delgado ]

Estelyn Telcontar · 10-16-2002, 07:40 AM

I think I found it; Tom Bombadil speaking of himself:

Quote:

'I am no weather-master,' he said; 'nor is aught that goes on two legs.'

I certainly hope that's right - this has had me puzzled (and searching) for days!

Susan Delgado · 10-16-2002, 08:15 AM

You got it! [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

HerenIstarion · 10-17-2002, 12:49 AM

wow, Susan, nice little cracker it was [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

Estelyn Telcontar · 10-17-2002, 01:23 AM

Here's a new one:

Quote:

You sit under a wonderful plain, but it is faintly light out of the mountain behind my head, and I am sure there is darkness before you, you see.

Have fun!

HerenIstarion · 10-17-2002, 02:06 AM

that's Faramir to Eowyn in Houses of healing:

Quote:

I stand upon some dreadful brink, and it is utterly dark in the abyss before my feet, but whether there is any light behind me I cannot tell

Estelyn Telcontar · 10-17-2002, 03:03 AM

Right quote, HI, wrong person - look again! (That was fast, by the way!)

HerenIstarion · 10-17-2002, 03:09 AM

em, ur, yes, it's other way round [img]smilies/confused.gif[/img] , that's Eowyn to Faramir

Estelyn Telcontar · 10-17-2002, 03:17 AM

Now you have it - you're next!

HerenIstarion · 10-17-2002, 03:51 AM

well:

Quote:

He has undone it as he was commanded and stayed as he was displeased

Estelyn Telcontar · 10-22-2002, 05:59 AM

I'm searching, HI, but have found nothing so far. Can you give a little hint please?

HerenIstarion · 10-22-2002, 06:14 AM

The tense is reversed as well. Person quoted speaks about some intended future actions [img]smilies/rolleyes.gif[/img]

HerenIstarion · 10-24-2002, 11:46 PM

FoTR

Estelyn Telcontar · 10-25-2002, 07:39 AM

I am still searching, HI - one more clue, please - is it said in the first or second person?

[ October 25, 2002: Message edited by: Estelyn Telcontar ]

Susan Delgado · 10-25-2002, 05:29 PM

Is it Frodo thinking about Lobelia?

Quote:

She must have thought of something really nasty, and have come back again to say it.

Laivine · 10-26-2002, 05:59 AM

Is it Sam in the house of Elrond or something? Well, it probably isn't, but I had to guess [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]

HerenIstarion · 10-27-2002, 11:51 PM

Welcome to the Downs Laivine [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

First person, Estelyn

Childlike Empress · 10-28-2002, 12:12 AM

Sounds like "I will do as I wish and leave when I am satisfied" but I can't think who'd say something like that. Bill Ferny?

HerenIstarion · 10-28-2002, 12:44 AM

Childlike Empress, quote you give sounds almost as it is in the book, though person is wrong

Laivine · 10-28-2002, 09:02 AM

...tossing a guess into the ring - Gandalf?

HerenIstarion · 10-30-2002, 08:06 AM

Hotter than ever. Final hint - if nobody gets it after this, I'll proclaim myself victorious [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

Gandalf was whom person (mis)quoted was addressing
