We seem to be getting a lot from UT.

That's it. I'd like to have done more of the quote but it's rather long.

Aldarion to Erendis



You shall dwell where you will, as wife of the King's Heir,
And as Queen in many fair houses, such as you desire.

:rolleyes:

You shall dwell where you will, as wife of the King's Heir, said Aldarion. And as Queen in many fair houses, such as you desire.

[Tuor of Gondolin]

Estanesse's correct.

It's the dysfunctional couple. Perhaps Erendis would have done better with a prenup.

P.S. Putting in 'said Aldarion' 1) isn't actually a quote
2) (and more importantly) would have made solution too easy. :D

Ah ha!Thief, thief, thief! Baggins! We hates it, we hates it, we hates it for ever! Said by Gollum, of course!

[Tuor of Gondolin]

Yesss. But thief Baggins cheated, taking the precious. It
wasn't a proper riddle at all! :mad:
And it wasn't even poor Smeagol's birthday, gollum, gollum.

I can't believe I didn't get this sooner!

"Faithful servant, yet master's bane,
Lightfoot's foal, swift Snowmane."

As an aside, does anyone know whether Lightfoot is a stallion or mare? I have heard it both ways.

[Guinevere]

I was sure you would see it , Firefoot! :)
(I don't know about Lightfoot's gender, but then I don't know a thing about horsebreeding & pedigrees...)

[Firefoot]

In joy thou hast lived. Beware of the Sea!

Thy heart shall then rest in the forest no more.'

[Guinevere]

Wow! :eek: and welcome back, Eruanna! :)
(I have to post less well known quotes now, I guess.... ;) )

[Evisse the Blue]

Sam to Faramir, of Galadriel:

"perhaps you could call her perilous, because she's so strong in herself. You, you could dash yourself to pieces on her, like a ship on a rock, or drown yourself, like a hobbit in a river. But neither rock nor river would be to blame."


That was a tricksy thing, Nilpaurion, to cut out the 'but'. It was actually 'but perhaps...' :p

[Nilpaurion Felagund]

Was I tricksy???
No, really. I meant no tricksiness.

Still, the thread is thine. :)

[Evisse the Blue]

Well, maybe not intentionally tricksy, but it sure fooled me as I was looking for that sentence which began with 'Perhaps...'

Here's the next one:

"---/----/---/--------/---/-/----/---/----/----/---/----/-/---/-----------/. ---/-----/-------/--/----/--------/---/, ---/-----/---/-/-------/--/-------/----/------."
