I wanted to try to figure it out, but I didn't have any time to sit down and do it. Next puzzle, I guess, maybe I'll have a moment.

[Faramir Jones]

Quite right, Guinevere!

It's nice to know that I really made some people scratch their heads about that one!:D

Oh, goodness, it's so close, yet I can't see it.

I's, please.

[Faramir Jones]

"--- -s --- --n see, we we-r- soon -n- -ie; -n- -- mis-h-n-e m-n- meet -e-th e-en sooner."

Nice to know that I'm still keeping people guessing!;)

[Folwren]

I am SO bad at this that although I have most of the words pieced together, I still cannot say I know where it is from...

I can't believe we haven't bit into that first word yet...

A, please.

[Folwren]

Side note, I fear that if this is a quote from anywhere other than LotR I am lost. Eh well.

[Faramir Jones]

"--- as a-- -an see, we wear- soon an- -ie; an- -- mis-han-e man- meet -eath e-en sooner."

[Folwren]

Right, well, I give up. I've been able to put most of the words together for a while now, and new letters just confirm my suspicion. I just can't place the quote.

[Tuor in Gondolin]

"c"s, please.

[Faramir Jones]

"--- as a-- can see, we wear- soon an- -ie; an- -- mischance man- meet -eath e-en sooner."

[Tuor in Gondolin]

"B"s?

[Faramir Jones]

"B-- as a-- can see, we wear- soon an- -ie; an- b- mischance man- meet -eath e-en sooner."

[Folwren]

Does the first word have a T in it?

[Faramir Jones]

Yes, it does:

"B-t as a-- can see, we wear- soon an- -ie; an- b- mischance man- meet -eath e-en sooner."

[Folwren]

Okay, well, I think the quote runs like so:

"But as all can see, we weary soon and die; and by mischance many meet death even sooner."

However, as I can neither say who said it nor where it is from, I can do no more.

[Faramir Jones]

You're quite correct, Folwren!

Would anyone else like me to reveal where the quote is from?:)

[Faramir Jones]

I'll take the silence as a 'Yes'.

The quote is from the Narn i Hîn Húrin, the one published in Unfinished Tales. Túrin is five years old, and Lalaith his sister, who was compared to an Elf-child, has died of the Evil Breath. He has one friend, a house-man called Sador, who had told him about the different fates of Elves and Men. Túrin then asked the big question 'What is fate?' to which Sador tries to answer.

Over to you, Folwren!

[Folwren]

Thanks. Here 'tis. Have at it.

I recognized the quote as soon as I deciphered "Thank you kindly." :D

"Nay! Not Elves,' said the fourth, the tallest, and as it appeared the chief among them. `Elves do not walk in Ithilien in these days. And Elves are wondrous fair to look upon, or so 'tis said.'
'Meaning we're not, I take you,' said Sam. `Thank you kindly. And when you've finished discussing us, perhaps you'll say who you are, and why you can't let two tired travellers rest."

[Rune Son of Bjarne]

*bump*

[Folwren]

Guinevere, you are, of course, correct.

My apologies for the wait...limited internet access is my shoddy excuse. But it's not really a good excuse, because the real reason was that I plum forgot.

Take 'er away!

"--/ ---s/, s----/ --/ ----/, ---'-/ --/ -----."

[Folwren]

That's crazy. :eek:

I'm still stuck on the fact that there MUST be a vowel somewhere. 'U'

Thanks. That'll learn me to check a quote. Perhaps
due to PJ influence (FoTR when leaving Rivendell
or in Moria) Gandalf came to mind. :o

Since unlike Tollers, I'm a bit of a Progressive

We who have lived long under the shadow may surely listen to echoes from a land untroubled by it?

You've got it, Agan. Please take over!

"You do not ride Shadowfax: he is willing to carry you -- or not. If he is willing, that is enough. "

[Folwren]

That is correct, Guinevere. Take it away.

[Guinevere]

Thank you, Folwren!

[Guinevere]

M, no YC

M,E, (no Y and C)

"-/ -m/ -e---/ e--e-/ ----e!" ( .......) "M---e---e-! --e-e/ --e/ m--e/ m---e-/ ----/ ---e-!"
Well, M was a pretty useful guess, Folwren :)

[Folwren]

E was decent, too, I see.

Okay, how 'bout V?

[Guinevere]

M,E, V (no Y and C)

"-/ -m/ -e---/ e--e-/ ---ve!" ( .......) "M---e---e-! --e-e/ --e/ m--e/ m---e-/ ----/ ---e-!"

btw, Happy birthday to you, Folwren!

[Guinevere]

What, neither L's nor A's at all?:confused:
How about T then?

[Folwren]

That's really weird. Let me try again.

WALT

Better. There WERE L's and W's. And T's, too.

[Guinevere]

Now that looks much better. :) But I have no clue yet...

N please

[Tuor in Gondolin]

"But most of all I should like to go walking today and explore the valley. I should like to get into those pine-woods up there."

Frodo to Gandalf in Rivendell, right before the Council of Elrond. ("walking" and "valley" were the clues.:) )

[Folwren]

Correct! It's all yours, Guinevere.

[Guinevere]

Oops, I almost forgot that it's my turn here :(

Well, here is a new quote to guess:

"----/ --/ -/ -----/ -------/ --!" .... "--/ ---/ ----/ --/ -----------/ ---/ -/ -----/ ----/ ---!"

[Folwren]

Rats. I think I know what it is, but I don't have my copy of the book here. Oh well, later.
