I think I have it:
Quote:
"But who knows what she spoke to the darkness, alone, in the bitter watches of the night, when all her life seemed shrinking, and the walls of her bower closing in about her, a hutch to trammel some wild thing in?"
[img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

Gandalf speaking to Eomer about Eowyn, in the Houses of Healing.

Yes, well done, Eruanna! [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]
(When I saw that the next post was yours, I was sure you had found it out [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img] )
btw, I thought it strange that in the TTT movie Grima (of all people) spoke these insightful words... [img]smilies/rolleyes.gif[/img]

Thank you [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]
I recognised the words "bitter watches of the night", so I knew who the speech was about. However, as you said, in the movie it's spoken by Grima, it took me a little while to remember that Gandalf was the real speaker!
Here's a new one...not too hard I think:

Quote:

Thanks a lot Eruanna. (It was in fact the capital S who gave it away. [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img])

So here we go with a new one:

'--/---/-------/----/------/---/---/---, ---&------/---!
----/-----/---/----/--/---/----/-----, ---/----/---/---/---/---/---/----/-----/--/-.'

Please note: The & stands for a real hyphen. (e.g. ------&----- = Middle-Earth)

Let them come. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

Yes, I also thought that (movie) Sam's bravery came at the expense of Frodo's character...a pity, since I always thought that the book showed Sam's emerging equality with Frodo very well.
