"Not much use are you, you little snufflers? said the big orc. I reckon eyes are better than your snotty noses"

"Said the big orc" was what completely threw me off here, i hadn't noticed the use of dots....

Guinevere · 12-29-2017, 09:41 AM

Yes, well done, Rune!
I'm sorry to have distracted you with the dots! I just meant to show that the quote was interrupted by: said "somebody" .

No no, it was me who did not pay proper attention to detail.

My computer is acting up, but I think the quotation below ought to have the correct number of letters.

"---- -- --- -- ---- -----. --- -- ----- --- ---- ---- ----, ----! -- ---- --- ----- ---- -- --. --- -- --!"

How short the memory of mortals. It's only been three and a half years.

Why not start a new one instead?

Makes sense, it was about the last time I had all my Tolkien books lying around the living room, as I was trying to do some in depth nerding.

Then I moved, and I have only occasionally taken a Tolkien book down from the shelf in that time.

Oh but it's absolutely different! Because together, they mean the end of the phrase is "ride on"! I thought at first it would be Eomer's exclamation on the way to Minas Tirith, but that's not the case. However, riding is not so nebulous in LOTR to make a skim of the likely places impossible.

At first I had written "I dare say that made all the difference", but thought it too toungue in cheek. Little did I know just how right I was... how right we both are!

The thread is yours.

Thank'ee kindly! That was quite a turn of expectations, I think for both of us. I certainly did not expect to have it with only 3 letters, two of which are minimally present.
