R, please.
Morwen, have you ever seen the game show "Wheel of Fotune?" That's how this is played. A player asks for a letter, and if there are any in the phrase, they are revealed. The puzzle is solved when a player can identify the full phrase. This isn't as rigidly structured as the game show; anybody can jump in at any time with the answer, and there aren't "turns" (although for myself, I think it's polite to wait until the result of my request is shown before asking for another letter). And I don't believe the person presenting the puzzle is obliged to offer hints, though it's nice when they do from time to time. Just FYI. ![]()

Well, duh, forget the last letter, Lady G!

Thanks, your majesty, it was actually the punctuation that gave it away.
![]() "--- / -- / -- / --- / --- / ---- / -- / ----- / ---- / ----- / --- / ------ / ---------, / --- / --- / --------- / ---- / ----- / ------- / ---- / -------- / --- / ----; / --- / ----- / --- / ----- / --- / ------ / --- / ---- / ----- / --- / ------, / -- / ----- / -- / - / ----- / --- / ----- / --- / ---------."

Have you played hang man then, Morwen? It's a lot like that but instead of a word it's an entire phrase.

Two more good choices (and I beg everyone's pardon, I missed a couple of Rs in the last round. This is what I get for typing on an iPad instead of a real keyboard...

Hmm, I thought it was "the messengers" who said it (and since Manwė sent them, I always wondered if they might've been Maiar), but you're quite correct, Inzil. The floor is yours!

Is it possible that 'the' in the second sentence is 'its' in some editions? When I figured out the sentence I thought it was "Ours is but a small matter in the great deeds of this time. A vain pursuit from the beginning, maybe, which no choice of mine can mar or mend." But when I checked it against my copy all I could find was a quote with the word 'its' from Aragorn to Legolas and Gimli.

My edition shows "its." I figured out the quote last night, but as I'm rather busy printing and collating needlepoint patterns (my contribution to our livelihood), I thought I'd let someone else take the turn. Cheeky, I know....

It's alright. I'm sure I'll make a mistake. Or five.
