Good choice! There are only two, but those give away a very telling word.

That's it! I thought that "accident" would give it away. Your turn!

Time to revive this thread - no one has posted here since last year!

Here's the quote, spoken by Farmer Maggot to Tom Bombadil in the Adventures... named after him:

Quote:

What's your business here? Hat all stuck with arrows!
Someone's warned you off, caught you at your sneaking?

Guinevere · 01-02-2006, 08:13 AM

Yep, that's it! Happy New Year to you all, btw!

Estelyn Telcontar · 01-02-2006, 08:28 AM

And a very Happy New Year to you too! To keep it from getting boring right at the start, here's another quote to puzzle over:

Quote:

---- ----- ------ -- ---- ---- -- -- ------- ----. - ---- ---- --- ------: - ----- -- ---- --- -- ------.

Guinevere · 01-04-2006, 05:42 AM

I ought to have got it sooner, indeed!

It's Niggle (to himself) when he realizes he needs Parish to help him:

" This place cannot be left just as my private park. I need help and advice: I ought to have got it sooner."

Estelyn Telcontar · 01-07-2006, 02:54 PM

Excellent! That's it - and it amused me to think that this thread sometimes feels like a private garden...

Guinevere · 01-08-2006, 07:52 AM

True, about the "private garden"... but what can we do to attract more participants?

The minor works are not so well known by many, it seems.
Anyhow, if you're not tired of the game yet, here is another palantir to solve:

"---/ -----/ ------/ ----/ ---/ ----/ ---/. ---/ -------/ -------/ -----/ --/ ---/ -----/, ---/ -------/ --/ -/ -----/ ----/ --/ --- _ ----/ --/ ---/ ----"

Estelyn Telcontar · 01-08-2006, 10:25 AM
