I think this is it:

"They need more gardens. The houses are dead, and there is too little here that grows and is glad. If Aragorn comes into his own, the people of the Wood shall bring him birds that sing and trees that do not die."

[Faenaduial]

That is correct! It is Legolas speaking to Gimli about Gondor.

Your turn Eruanna.

Estanesse has to make up one now right?

[gilraën]

As far as I know we wait up to 10 days for her to reply, only then can someone else make a new one. Correct me if I'm wrong, anyone.

[lathspell]

You are correct, Gilraën!

[Eressië Ailin]

Lomadia, you have to wait 10 days before you can post a new one. If Estanesse doesn't post by Mar. 28, then you can go ahead. But, I didn't come up with the rules; Beren did. So, how about a 'T'?

[elven maiden Earwen]

hey you guys should wait becacause if you didnt that would be breaking the rules.

"It must often be so, Sam, when things are in danger: someone has to give them up, lose them, so that others may keep them."

[Annunfuiniel]

Wow, great job, Guinevere (I love your name btw. smilies/smile.gif)! Well, I knew it was pretty easy but with only three letters...I'm speechless!
Ok, carry on now. smilies/smile.gif

[Guinevere]

Thank you, Annunfuiniel! Actually the clue for me was: ,SA-, smilies/smile.gif

I enjoy the fact that here in the Palantir of Fortune we can use well known quotes and poems that would otherwise be too easy. You just need less letters to guess those.

Well, here is a new one:

[Elanor]

"Tall ships and tall kings,
three times three.
What brought they from the foundered land
over the flowing sea?
Seven stars and seven stones
and one white tree."

It's the poem about the Palantir. In the BBC radio version Gandalf sings it to Pippin during the ride to Minas Tirith. I can't find it right now in the books though... smilies/frown.gif

[Guinevere]

Well done, Elanor! smilies/smile.gif your turn.

[Guinevere]

Hey, Arwen, it really would be my turn, because I guessed the last one!!

Well, I don't mind , since you have already posted it, we'll have a go at your riddle. smilies/tongue.gif
(I won't be so good at this one , since I know the books 10 times better than the movies!)

Can I have an "S" to start with ?

[Arwen Evenstar the Fair]

I am soooo sorry!!!!!!!!!!!!! Please forgive my rudeness!!!! You can go ahead with yours and then I guess we could do mine!

[Guinevere]

No Arwen, that's ok, we'll do yours now. smilies/wink.gif

Here! Mr. Frodo's not going anywhere without me.
Elrond:
No, indeed, it is hardly possible to separate you from him, even when he is summoned to a secret Council, and you are not.

[elven maiden Earwen]

I??

[gilraën]

I think it's Guinevere's go now?

[Persephine]

Hi gang, just dropping in to say how surprised I was that this thread got so far. smilies/eek.gif smilies/biggrin.gif smilies/eek.gif

Hi Arwen !!! Can I please have a L for LEGOLAS !?!?!?

:LOL:

[Guinevere]

Hey, folks, haven't you noticed that Gilraen has already solved the riddle ??!!

Wow, Gilraen, that's really great, you found it with only one letter! smilies/smile.gif

We're only waiting for Arwen Evenstar to confirm, then it's Gilraen's turn!

[gilraën]

Guinevere I've had loads of goes, that's why I said it was your turn next. smilies/smile.gif

[Persephine]

Ummm...hate to be annoying...Can I have a go at it ? smilies/biggrin.gif

[gilraën]

I don't mind, I just don't have time, except at weekends, usually, to come in often enough to add the letters which is frustrating for those trying to guess.

[Guinevere]

Hullo, Persephine, you are welcome to do the next one if you like! smilies/smile.gif
Especially since it was you who started this game, which has brought such a lot of fun to us!!

[Arwen Evenstar the Fair]

Hey guys, Sorry it took me so long to post, I was out of town for the weekend.

Hey great job gilraen, you guessed it!!!!!!!! How did you figure it out so fast?!!

[gilraën]

I knew it had to be Sam to start with and someone with a six letter name after it so I guessed it after that. S was a good letter to help. I've seen the films so many times now smilies/wink.gif

[Arwen Evenstar the Fair]

smilies/biggrin.gif Well then, Congrats!! smilies/biggrin.gif

[Guinevere]

Well, then, if Persephine isn't around, I'll start the next one, since I already had one ready.

The Man in the Moon was drinking deep,
and the cat began to wail;
A dish and a spoon on the table danced,
The cow in the garden madly pranced
and the little dog chased his tail.

[gilraën]

Sorry Frodo sang it in The Prancing Pony in Bree.

Does Persephine want a go next?
