Found it! It's Ioreth talking to Gandalf in the Houses of Healing:

Quote:

I have been too busy with this and that to heed all the crying and shouting, she anwered, All I hope is that those murdering devils do not come to this House and trouble the sick.

Guinevere · 03-25-2004, 03:26 PM

Correct, as always, Mariska!

Mariska Greenleaf · 03-26-2004, 06:09 AM

Thank you, my lady.

Quote:

"Well, here we_____ and all _______, said ______, " but where are the ______? I can't ____any _______of them."

Happy searching.

Guinevere · 05-06-2004, 02:04 AM

"Well, here we are and all ready," said Merry, "but where are the Doors? I can't see any sign of them."

Mariska Greenleaf · 05-07-2004, 08:01 AM

Good work!

Guinevere · 05-11-2004, 02:16 PM

Thank you !

_______! How ________! Do you know, I _______ it was ___ in the _____ _____. But they were all ________ "________" and wouldn't ______ to me.

Firefoot · 05-11-2004, 03:52 PM

Quote:

Strider! How splendid! Do you know, I guessed it was you in the black ships. But they were all shouting corsairs and wouldn't listen to me.

Pippin to Aragorn. One of my favorite quotes, that.

Guinevere · 05-12-2004, 01:53 AM

I think the reason why we play these games is not only the fun of guessing, but to have a pretext to post all those sentences we're fond of...

(btw I like your signature!

)

Firefoot · 05-12-2004, 05:17 AM

Yes, I agree. Thanks.

Quote:

Yet we are ____ _________, and the ______ of _______ would be a _____ beyond our _____ - if ______ a ______ could indeed _______ out of the ______ of the ______.

Firefoot · 05-22-2004, 06:09 AM

Anybody? Do you need a hint?

Guinevere · 05-22-2004, 09:19 AM

I've been looking at this many times! It sounds somehow very familiar, yet I haven't been able to place it.... (yet)

So a little hint would be most welcome

Firefoot · 05-22-2004, 04:08 PM

Okay, how about this:

Quote:

Yet we are ____ _________, and the ______ of _______ would be a help beyond our _____ - if such a ______ could indeed return out of the ______ of the ______.

It should sound pretty familiar now...

Guinevere · 05-23-2004, 03:19 AM

thanks to your hints !

It's Boromir to Aragorn in the Council of Elrond:

Quote:

"Yet we are hard pressed, and the Sword of Elendil would be a help beyond our hope - if such a thing could indeed return out of the shadows of the past."

Firefoot · 05-23-2004, 12:27 PM

That's the one!

Guinevere · 05-26-2004, 02:18 PM

thank you, Firefoot.

Quote:

"They do not ____ all that about ______ and _______," said _____. "I should not ____ any more at _______. Wait til we get to the ____, and then we'll ____ them a ______ ______!"

Firefoot · 05-26-2004, 02:28 PM

Quote:

"They do not like all that about ending and failing," said Merry. "I should not sing any more at present. Wait till we do get to the edge, and then we'll turn and give them a rousing chorus!"

Merry in the Old Forest.

Guinevere · 05-26-2004, 02:45 PM

My goodness, that was fast, Firefoot!

Firefoot · 05-26-2004, 07:38 PM

It just clicked, I guess.

Quote:

I ____ _______ you. Do you ______ to _____ that you, and the ______, have ____ him ______ on after ____ those ______ ______?

Guinevere · 06-01-2004, 01:32 PM

That's Frodo to Gandalf about Gollum:

"I can't understand you. Do you mean to say that you, and the Elves, have let him live on after all those horrible deeds?"

Firefoot · 06-01-2004, 01:51 PM

That's it!

Guinevere · 06-04-2004, 01:00 PM

Thank you!

Quote:

"Well, _____, now at ____ we _________ one _______." said _______, "If you ____ this ____ on yourself, _________, at others ______, then you have ____ and ______ from __."

Evisse the Blue · 06-05-2004, 02:20 AM

Faramir to Frodo, in The Window on the West:

"Well, Frodo, now at last we understand one another," said Faramir. "If you took this thing on yourself, unwilling, at others' asking, then you have pity and honor from me."

Guinevere · 06-05-2004, 08:58 AM

btw: cool new picture, matching your colour!

Evisse the Blue · 06-06-2004, 02:04 AM

Thank you, Guinevere, I thought so too!

Next one is up (to steal another Downer's favourite's expression):

"What it ____ I cannot ____, but I have never ____ such a _______. The _____-____ was terrible. It nearly ____ me. For an instant ___ ____ left my ______ and began to ____! I had to speak a _____ of ______. That proved too great ___ strain. The ____ burst to _____."

Firefoot · 06-06-2004, 05:19 AM

"What it was I cannot guess, but I have never felt such a challenge. The counter-spell was terrible. It nearly broke me. For an instant the door left my control and began to open! I had to speak a word of Command. That proved too great a strain. The door burst in pieces."

Gandalf to the rest of the Fellowship in Moria.

Evisse the Blue · 06-06-2004, 05:43 AM

Yep! You're right!

Firefoot · 07-04-2004, 08:43 AM

Rather forgot about this thread.

Quote:

"He is a ____ of _______ _______, for already he had _____ ______ under the ______ before ever he ____ to _______ on the ____-_____."

Sleepy Ranger · 07-04-2004, 09:53 AM

"He is a man of staunch will, for already he had come close under the Shadow before ever he rode to battle on the out-walls."

Aragorn to Imrahil they are speaking of I think Faramir.

Firefoot · 07-04-2004, 10:33 AM

Yes.

Evisse the Blue · 07-14-2004, 06:49 AM

Sleepy?

Firefoot · 10-06-2004, 05:26 PM

"Here's the _____ _____ with his _____ in a ____! He's been ______ a little _____ all to ______ and his ______ the _______."

Firefoot · 11-26-2004, 02:43 PM

Anyone? It's from the Hobbit.

the phantom · 12-02-2004, 12:29 AM

"Here's the old villain with his head on a jug! He's been having a little feast all to himself and his friend the captain."

Firefoot · 12-02-2004, 04:55 PM

Yeppers.

the phantom · 12-02-2004, 10:00 PM

Okay...

"_______! All ____ _______ it. It could be ______ like ______, and ________ like _____; and the _______ could ____ of __ a _____, light and ___ ______ than ________ _____."

the phantom · 12-10-2004, 10:02 PM

Anyone?

If no one gets it by tomorrow I'll add a word or two.

the phantom · 12-11-2004, 08:49 PM

See if this helps...

"_______! All folk _______ it. It could be ______ like ______, and ________ like _____; and the _______ could make of __ a _____, light and yet ______ than ________ _____."

Firefoot · 12-11-2004, 09:29 PM

Quote:

"Mithril! All folk desired it. It could be beaten like copper, and polished like glass; and the Dwarves could make of it a metal, light and yet harder than tempered steel."

Gandalf to the Fellowship.

the phantom · 12-11-2004, 09:52 PM

Firefoot · 12-11-2004, 09:57 PM

"The ______ is not _______, as the ______ of ____-______ so often are. It should ______ _____ when I have _______ it. ______ it when _______ has ______ _______."
