That's so close to being absolutely correct that minor imprecisions are pardonable, HI. Your turn.

I have no idea where to find a quote that sounds like it could be right - can you give a clue, please? I've 'translated' the first part thus: "Make them go out! He won't wake them..." Is that close?

One person was proposing to another to take his turn on duty in his stead. There was more than mere altruism behind the proposal

Guess it out quick or else I myself may forget the original...
well, well, there was a deadly foe [unexpectedly] dead in battle not long before the conversation took place, but matters were not resolved as it was expected, so more 'foes' (commas intended) came around.

HI, I'm trying to figure this one out, but I've paged through passage after passage without finding it. Can you give a clue as to which of the 6 LotR books it's in? That would narrow the search down!

LoTR? Whos said it was LoTR? Ah, wrong book altogether...
Dwarf and 'human' (commas intended again). In the book I quote the most
![]() ah, and 'human' does not mean that he were, say, a wizard. Rather, one who would not need to stoop to shake hands with a dwarf, rather the opposite, dwarf would. Ok, ok, no I almost said it, I can as well go and say that conversation took place between: Hobbit and dwarf ![]()

Thanks! Looking in the right book is very helpful indeed! Bilbo is speaking to Bombur:

For you, of course it's easy! I was just hoping I might tempt someone else to try their hand at it, but without you, this thread is dormant...
Go ahead with a new one!

hmmmm, Sam says "handsome is as handsome does" to Faramir, but that quote lacks the addition of "as we say in the Shire", so I guess I'll have to keep on looking...

That's close, very close, Saucy, but the one I chose precedes that one - a prophecy of sorts...

I've skimmed all three of those books and still can't find anything close to what I think it should be. Another clue, please? Perhaps where it takes place?

‘Yes, such is her desire!’ shouted Loki. ‘She knows his heart well. She does understand he and the goblins could not let them die, not after the great feat they accomplished!’

As Frodo is allegedly derived from Norse Frođa, I gave myself liberty of opposing to him Loki. So, hint is = the reversed quote is what Frodo spake

"No, and I don't want to", said Frodo. "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?"
Frodo to Gandalf, in The Shadow of the Past.

Amazingly, I think I still remember this quote...or I think I do.

I have a feeling...
...that this is about Minas Tirith. I can almost bet on it. I just can't locate where something like this is it said, though! This is SO frustrating!
I'll have a stab at it: Denethor, right before his death, even though I don't remember what exactly he said?
