Here's a nice Halloween quote:

Think less, and talk less of ghosts.

HerenIstarion · 11-01-2002, 02:35 AM

Tidwald to Torthelm, whom he thought to be frightened by an owl hoot

Estelyn Telcontar · 11-04-2002, 01:48 AM

That's it, HI - your turn!

HerenIstarion · 11-04-2002, 02:30 AM

Thanks

Quote:

He was a very good neighbour, and let me have excellent potatoes very cheap, which saved me a lot of time

+ about whom + circumstances

Estelyn Telcontar · 11-05-2002, 07:17 AM

Niggle is speaking of Parish to the Two Voices in 'purgatory' after both men have died.

HerenIstarion · 11-05-2002, 08:04 AM

aiwa, meaning , "yes"

Estelyn Telcontar · 11-06-2002, 06:57 AM

Here's an optimistic quote for the day:

Quote:

I expect it will turn out all right.

HerenIstarion · 11-07-2002, 02:58 AM

that's old Master Cook, smith's grandfather, to Alf when he (grandfather) was leaving

Estelyn Telcontar · 11-07-2002, 04:19 AM

Quite right, HI - your turn!

HerenIstarion · 11-07-2002, 06:48 AM

I confess I'm going to cheat

(just a little), but who said this:

Quote:

He who would enter into the Kingdom of Faerie should have the heart of a little child

Estelyn Telcontar · 11-09-2002, 12:30 PM

That quote was a bit tricky, HI, though I was sure I would find it in Tolkien's essay 'On Fairy Stories'. There he quotes Andrew Lang, who made the above statement.

HerenIstarion · 11-11-2002, 01:04 AM

Yes, Esty, that's him

Estelyn Telcontar · 11-13-2002, 05:55 AM

Here's a new quote for you:

Quote:

You'll never find it out, the way that we have brought you!

HerenIstarion · 11-13-2002, 06:42 AM

Badger-brock to Tom Bombadil

Estelyn Telcontar · 11-13-2002, 07:44 AM

Yes indeed, HI - go ahead with a new one!

HerenIstarion · 11-13-2002, 07:52 AM

well, off we go!

Quote:

Now then! One at a time

Estelyn Telcontar · 11-20-2002, 05:19 AM

Time to get this neglected thread going again! The answer is: Farmer Giles of Ham, trying to make sense of everyone talking all at once!

HerenIstarion · 11-20-2002, 06:21 AM

corrr-r-r-rrect

Estelyn Telcontar · 11-21-2002, 03:04 AM

Here's a quote that tickles my fancy:

Quote:

His head was not screwed on tight enough.

Who says it, and of whom?

Estelyn Telcontar · 11-25-2002, 03:09 AM

Anyone want to take a shot at this quote? It's quite easy!

HerenIstarion · 11-26-2002, 01:12 AM

well, that's First Voice about Niggle in ":eaf by Niggle"

Estelyn Telcontar · 11-26-2002, 04:06 AM

That's right, HI - you're next!

HerenIstarion · 11-26-2002, 05:45 AM

Quote:

You will hear from us later

Estelyn Telcontar · 11-29-2002, 06:09 AM

That was the King, Augustus Bonifacius Ambrosius Aurelianus Antoninus Pius et Magnificus, dux rex, tyrannus, et Basileus Mediterranearum Partium, speaking to Farmer Giles of Ham (or, if you prefer, Ægidius Ahenobarbus Julius Agricola de Hammo).

HerenIstarion · 11-30-2002, 02:49 AM

Mais oui, c'etait lui vraiment, Bonifacius rex etc etc

Madame, votre tour, je vous en prie...

Estelyn Telcontar · 11-30-2002, 04:02 AM

Um, Madame is me, right? And it is my turn - but that's all I can guess. What little French I had the opportunity of learning has been mostly forgotten, unfortunately! Well, here's a new quote:

Quote:

It'll make them laugh.

HerenIstarion · 12-03-2002, 03:14 AM

Nokes to Alf at the putting of silver star into the Great Cake

Estelyn Telcontar · 12-03-2002, 03:53 AM

Yes, HI, quite right - your turn!

HerenIstarion · 12-03-2002, 05:30 AM

Quote:

Now that you are here you shall dance with me

The Squatter of Amon Rûdh · 12-03-2002, 06:59 AM

Sounds to me like the Queen of Faerie talking to Smith. Or am I off with the fairies myself?

Legolas · 12-05-2002, 12:50 PM

* HerenIstarion announces Squatter's answer in Minor Works quotes to be correct

He can't remember his forum password, so I pasted that from the chat for him.

Go on, Squatter!

The Squatter of Amon Rûdh · 12-05-2002, 03:09 PM

Thanks Legalos.

Quote:

You stumbling dolt, Look where you're going!

Estelyn Telcontar · 12-08-2002, 06:56 AM

That's Tídwald to Torhthelm in 'The Homecoming of Beorhtnoth Beorhthelm's Son'.

The Squatter of Amon Rûdh · 12-09-2002, 04:35 AM

That's the one. Your turn, Esty.

Estelyn Telcontar · 12-09-2002, 09:25 AM

Quote:

I might go by other ways.

HerenIstarion · 12-12-2002, 02:45 AM

Tom Bombadil a-rowing

Estelyn Telcontar · 12-12-2002, 02:52 AM

Yes indeed, HI - please go ahead!

HerenIstarion · 12-12-2002, 06:37 AM

Quote:

Oh well, there's no place like home, they say

The Squatter of Amon Rûdh · 12-13-2002, 09:08 AM

That's the Giant, explaining to his relations why he didn't stay in the Middle Kingdom.

HerenIstarion · 12-13-2002, 10:36 AM

That's him. Go ahead [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]
