[Guinevere]

Well, I can guess the quote, but I do not know whence it comes.

"I do not know. It is too distant to make out."

The speaker might be Legolas, or Aragorn perhaps? :rolleyes:

[Tuor in Gondolin]

The quote answer is correct by B]Guinevere[/B] .
I think she deserves credit for identifying the
character. It's Strider, as the four hobbitses and
he are approaching Amon Sul and see flares that
turn out to be Gandalf dueling with some nazgul.

[Guinevere]

Thank you, Tuor! :)

Yep.

and how about S's ?

"These are indeed strange days," he muttered. "Dreams and legends spring to life out of the grass." Eomer to Aragorn.

I'm guessing on that last word but I think it's Gandalf that says it in regard to Aragorn's coronation.

[Firefoot]

Correct on all counts. :)

Thanks!

This is driving me crazy! I guessed most words long ago, yet I just can't find it. http://www.travar.de/Templates/Webprojekt/images/wallbash.gif
Now I lack only the 6th but last word.

Can you add the L's please.

[Firefoot]

Know what you mean... I would say that I don't think I've ever read this quote in my life, but then it would probably end up being in LotR. :rolleyes:

W's?

[Kath]

BROTEN VADSHULW

"But/ -t/ -s/ -oreboded/ that/ that/ w-ll/ onl-/ be/ when/ we/ have/ both/ lost/ all/ that/ we/ now/ have/. But/ -t/ -a-/ well/ be/ that/ that/ t--e/ -s/ draw-n-/ near/ at/ last/. -or/ --/ sauron/ o-/ old/ destro-ed/ the/ -ardens/, the/ ene--/ toda-/ see-s/ l--el-/ to/ w-ther/ all/ the/ woods."

Well these two guesses should get it for you Guinevere!

[Guinevere]

Ah, at last!! :)
It is Treebeard speaking about the Entwives, right before he sings his song about them.

"We believe that we may meet again in a time to come, and perhaps we shall find somewhere a land where we can live together and both be content.
But it is foreboded that that will only be when we have both lost all that we now have. And it may well be that that time is drawing near at last. For if Sauron of old destroyed the gardens, the Enemy today seems likely to wither all the woods."

I guess I have too often skipped the Ents when rereading... ;)

[Kath]

Correct! I must admit to also skipping them, which is why I thought this would make a nice challenge :D

[Tuor in Gondolin]

Hrum. Hoom. Well, it's obvious Kath and
Guinevere would have made terrible entwives.
They're much too hasty! Skipping over the tree
shephards sections (probably out planting gardens
for Spring and Summer).

[Firefoot]

I fear I fall under the same category...I would say that I don't think I've ever read this quote in my life, but then it would probably end up being in LotR. What did I tell you? :rolleyes: *sigh*
