[Guinevere]

Yes! [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img] Well done, Phantom.

[the phantom]

Thanks. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

'_______ for ________! Why didn't I _____?' he _______, as he _______ did at the _________ of an __________. 'And ___ my beautiful _______ ____ are ____ to the _________-_________! These ____-_____ would do them ____.' He _________. '____ up, _______!' he cried. 'It's a _________ _______.'

[Evisse the Blue]

"Walking for pleasure? Why didn't I drive?" he thought, as he usually did at the beginning of an expedition. "And all my beautiful feather beds are sold to the Sackville Baginses! These tree roots would do them good." He stretched. "Wake up, hobbits!" he cried. "It's a beautiful morning."

Probably a question for the newcomers & novices section, but what is that word 'drive' doing there? I thought there were no cars in Middle Earth??

[the phantom]

Correct.

The word "drive" was around before cars, and it meant travelling by means of horse and buggy (or other similar forms of transportation that did not require walking).

[Evisse the Blue]

Thanks for the info, phantom! Now back to the game:

"_____ for the _____ of ___ days!" said _____. "Here all ____ ______ of the one ___, and yet I _____ walk ____ while the ____ is merry in the _____ under ______ of gold!"

[Guinevere]

"Alas for the folly of these days!" said Legolas, "here all are enemies of the one Enemy, and yet I must walk blind, while the sun is merry in the woodland under leaves of gold!"

[Evisse the Blue]

Alas indeed! [img]smilies/tongue.gif[/img]

Please proceed, Guinevere! [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

[Guinevere]

[Guinevere]

Very good, Lostgaeriel! [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img] Your turn!

[Lostgaeriel]

I never know what passage to use, but I'm hungry and it's supper-time, so I thought this would be fun.

They were ______ and in the middle of good ____ ____ of ____ when Mr. _________ and ___ came in again. In a twinkling the _____ was ____. There was ___ ____, ____ _____, a __________ ____, new ______, slabs of ______, and half a ____ ______: good _____ ____, as good as the _____ could show, and ________ enough to ______ the last of ___’_ __________ (already much _______ by the __________ of the ____).

[Narduewen]

They were washed and in the middle of good deep muggs of beer when Mr. Butterbur and Nob came in again. In a twinkling the table was laid. There was hot soup, cold meats, a blackberry tart, new loaves, slabs of butter, and half a ripe cheese: good plain food, as good as the Shire could show, and homelike enough to dispel the last of Sam’s misgivings (already much relieved by the excellence of the beer).[

[Lostgaeriel]

Narduewen - you are correct as you well know. [Although I believe it is usually spelled 'mugs'. [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img] ] Your turn.

[Evisse the Blue]

It's been a good while so I'll ressurect this thread:

___ by ____ ____ lay, and down swept _____, and down came ______ and _____ the _____; and in a dream, not ______what fate had ______ ______, the wanderers were ______ ____ and _____ far away out of the _______ and the ____.

[Guinevere]

Thank you for reviving this thread, Evisse! [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

Side by side they lay, and down swept Gwaihir, and down came Landroval and Meneldor the swift; and in a dream, not knowing what fate had befallen them, the wanderers were lifted up and borne far away out of the darkness and the fire.

(For that one, I didn't have to study so hard as for the one on the "proverbs"-thread [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img] )

[Evisse the Blue]

lol, yes, you're right! [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]

[Guinevere]

Thank you, Evisse!

"How shall a ___ _____ what to __ in such ____?" " As he ever has ______," said _______. "____ and ___ have not _______ since _________; nor are they one _____ among _____ and _______ and another _____ Men."

[Evisse the Blue]

"How shall a man judge what to do in such times?" "As he has ever judged", said Aragorn. "Good and ill have not changed since yesteryear; nor are they one thing among Elves and Dwarves and another among Men.

[Guinevere]

Exactly! [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

[Evisse the Blue]

"For it is the ____ ___ _____ and herewith, maybe thou shalt _____ _____ to the _____ ___ _____ in a world that ____ ____. But ____ ____ me, ___ ___ is with the ___ and I will ____ by the grey ____ , _____ the ____ until the ____ _____ ____. Then I shall ____ ____."

[Lord of Angmar]

"For this is the Ring of Fire, and herewith, maybe, thou shalt rekindle hearts to the valour of old in a world that grows chill. But as for me, my heart is with the Sea, and I will dwell by the grey shores, guarding the Havens until the last ship sails. Then I shall await thee.'"
-Cirdan the Shipwright, to Gandalf the Grey

[Evisse the Blue]

Correct, my Lord! [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

[Lord of Angmar]

That is one of my favorite Tolkien quotes! [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

[Guinevere]

Then Curufin looked darkly upon Eol. "Do not flaunt the title of your wife before me," he said. "For those who steal the daughters of the Noldor and wed them without gift or leave do not gain kinship with their kin."

[Lord of Angmar]

Correct as always, my Lady. Carry on.

[Guinevere]

"Half a moment!" said Pippin. Putting his hand inside the breast of his jacket he pulled out a little soft wallet on a string.

Pippin in "Flotsam and Jetsam", when he gives his spare pipe to Gimli.

[Arvedui III]

Yup, and well done.

[Guinevere]

Thank you, Arvedui!

[Arvedui III]

Ahh, I think I've got this one.

Then Faramir laughed merrily. "That is well," He said. "For I am not a king. Yet I will wed with the White Lady of Rohan, if it be her will.

Faramir to Eowyn on the walls of Minas Tirith.

[Guinevere]

Correct, Arvedui! [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img] Well done!(or was that too easy? [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img] )

[Arvedui III]

Guinevere, that's no easy quote. I just love the Houses of Healing to irrational excess, is all. Herm now...

[Mariska Greenleaf]

Hm...could you provide a hint please?

[Arvedui III]

Indeed. I'd quite forgotton about this thread, it's been so long. So right, hint: It is some Sam musing from Book 4. Hope that helps.

Isn't it something he thinks about the haradrim?
