I am, but as I haven't the time to work this out and search for it, I keep looking in, in hopes that someone else does!

It is a snippet of a conversation between Hobbits.

Thanks for the hint and your patience, Saucy! I finally took the time to figure it out - the only thing that occurred to me at first as a contrast to "Earthwoman" was "Skywalker"!

Here's a new one - these are not easy to do, since not all vocabulary lends itself to opposites, so I hope it's not too difficult to find the answer. There is one clue that should help...

That 'Cleanair' had me stupefied for ages...
Indeed, I was looking for foul water on the bottom of some places, or maybe some dirt somewhere, and scanned half of Frodo'n'Sam dialogues in Mordor, but it was more subtle than this! My complinents, Estelyn, much cunning exhibited, I daresay

Why thank you, kind sir! I am pleased both with my cunning idea and with the fact that you solved the riddle! Carry on - I'm afraid I'll have to sit this one out, though, as I'll be away from my home PC for a few weeks...

The quote in my previous was uttered by a plumpier-than-average dwarf.

Woe is me, for I leave the country (and most importantly for this thread, my PC) in two days. I shall try to get a new backwards quote up before I go, just to keep you busy for awhile...

found it, it's in Rivendell
Frodo sat silent and motionless. Fear seemed to stretch out a vast hand, like a dark cloud rising in the East and looming up to engulf him. ‘This ring!’ he stammered. ‘How, how on earth did it come to me?’
‘Ah!’ said Gandalf. ‘That is a very long story. The beginnings lie back in the Black Years, which only the lore-masters now remember. If I were to tell you all that tale, we should still be sitting here when Spring had passed into Winter.

Thanks for the clue - that definitely helped narrow the search down! Here's what Bilbo said to himself after using Sting to free himself from the spider's web in The Hobbit:

I'm reviving this cause it used to be much fun.
Sorry for the sloppiness of this one: "Before enlightened beings arrived in the meadows full of dwellings and flew towards bright pastures, we crept towards them. What tunnels would we bravely burrow into, what danger in troubled skies or for homeless sophisticated creatures during the hours of daylight, if the Easterners were awake or had all come back to life?"

"I know my safety, Denethor. Those giants will stand in the middle of a city and keep silent about the negative side of chairs, and great laziness of their children, grandchildren, and great-grand children, or brothers and sisters, if I discourage the with interruptions."
Some of these words may be a bit vague, but I think it's not that hard. ![]()

You do not know your danger, Theoden. These hobbits will sit on the edge of ruin and discuss the pleasures of the table, or the small doings of their fathers, grandfathers, and great-grandfathers, and remoter cousins to the ninth degree, if you encourage them with undue patience.
Gandalf to Theoden near the ruins of Orthanc when Merry starts on about smoking.

"All and all! That he found forward he guessed a gain; needed display in the water it has disproved. Stop us that worship his title, worship him in the past, but praise our exit from the fields of the orcs! Stop the horses freezing!"
I'm not sure that's right. If anybody needs a hint say so.

This has to be Feanor's memorable lines:
'None and none! What I have left behind I count now no loss; needless baggage on the road it proved! Let those that cursed my name curse me still, and whine their way back to the cages of the Valar. Let the ships burn!' Was he a cool fellow or what? ![]()

Correct Evisse!
And yes Feanor is a very cool elf - along with Maglor, Matimo, and Fingon. They're the only Noldor I really like in the books.

Evise, I am really confused about this quote. It sounds like "Into sorrow [someone] must enter; and into despair." It has a familiar ring to it, but I just can't pinpoint it. Feanor says a line of similar comtext when he urges the Noldor to leave Aman, but it has a totally different structure.
![]() A clue, perhaps?

Since it's been a while, I hope nobody minds if I do one:
Earlier they heard me, I nice tall human! They did drink me and took my flesh and blood buried in the ground....they buried me feet upwards in the ground for a month or three. I'm not sure if that's scarier then the original quote or not....

"Now we see you, you nasty little creature! We will eat you and leave your bones and skin hanging on a tree. Ugh! he's got a sting has he? Well, we'll get him all the same, and then we'll hang him head downwards for a day or two."

Here's something relatively easy:
"Your servant is healthy and in good shape. He should go on walking until daybreak. He doesn't need a break."
