[Finduilas]

Is it possible that you missed a "W"? I just can't figure out any other word to put in the -ron- space.

What I think it might be...

Would that the trees might speak on behalf of all things that have roots and punish those that wrong them.

Don't know who said it, to whom, and if you didn't forget a W than I'm off all together.

If I'm wrong, add a "D", please.

[Guinevere]

You're right, Finduilas, I forgot to add that W (shame on me!:o )
and you got the whole quote correct:

"Would that the trees might speak on behalf of all things that have roots and punish those that wrong them!"

Now you've just got to find who said this, and then it's your turn at last! (hint: it's from the Silmarillion!)

[Firefoot]

Well, if no one else knows, I can pitch in - it's Yavanna to Manwe.

[Finduilas]

Ahh.. Was that about Dwarves and Ents?

I haven't read Silm for about two years, so I'm glad you got that.

[Guinevere]

Exactly! :)

I think it's Finduilas' turn because she found out the quote, I hope you agree, Firefoot.

[Firefoot]

Of course. :)

[Finduilas]

Thanks.

Is that to long? I couldn't figure how to break it up, without ruining the quote. If it is too long I will have to find another one.

You can make them as long as you like - it's just that they get both easier for us and more complicated for you to fill in all the letters.

"Thank you!" said Merry. "But it is a greater honour to dangle at your tail, Gandalf. For one thing, in that position one has a chacee of putting a question a second time. Are we riding far tonight?"

[Finduilas]

Indeed yes. Except, I spelled "chance" correctly...:D:p

Your turn, Folwren.

[Folwren]

Hm. I did correct that word's spelling once. I guess I hit e instead of c. *sigh*

Okay, the new quote. This is strictly LotR, right? Well, here goes, then.

"By Elbereth and Luthien the Fair," said Frodo with a last effort, lifting up his sword, "you shall have neither the Ring nor me!" Frodo to the Nazgul.

[Folwren]

Hm. Yes, you're right, of course. I'll bet you only got it because you loved it so much. ;)

Yes, actually, it's one of my favorite quotes, too. That part is fantastic and beautiful, and that line almost makes me shiver with delight.

-- Foley

[Firefoot]

Yes, that and "Elbereth" was quite a hint.

Let's hope I am as lucky when I guess "E" now, then.

But I meant no wrong to you, Mr Frodo, nor to Mr Gandalf for that matter. He has some sense, mind you; and when you said go alone, he said no! take someone as you can trust.
