For a second I thought the first words were "Merry Christmas", which they obviously aren't, but look so at first glance. :rolleyes: It would be the most random thing ever, unless you're quoting FC's Letters...

How about H's?

[Guinevere]

Yep, that's it!

[Aganzir]

So here's the next one. I'll be staying with my grandmother over Christmas so I can't promise to be around a lot on the next few days - although who knows?

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

[Galadriel55]

I knew the quote before, but my sister stole my copy of FOTR and ran off to school with it. :D


E's please. :smokin::rolleyes:

[Aganzir]

Whoops. I just noticed I have combined two sentences, leaving out the latter half of the first and the former half of the second. Imagine my confusion when trying to fill in the E's! :D Corrected now.

E

"-'--/ --/ --/ -e--/ --/ ------/ --/ ----/ -e---e/ ---/ -e----/."

EDIT: No...I don't think I would have thought about anyone hacking your account - not with the plan to guess 'T' instead of 'E' in The Palantir of Fortune. I could totally see it as a possibility of a hacking incident if suddenly you committed suicide in WW or something, though.

[Galadriel55]

M's please!

Oh but I did. Commit suicide in ww, that is. Twice. :Merisu::D

Does that mean that I sometimes hack into my own account? ^.^

Most decidedly, yes, then.

And at present, you are either still hacking your account or are practicing a huge amount of self control NOT to guess the E's. :p

[Galadriel55]

A's, how about.

Half of it is en elvish. That's hardly fair. ;)

"Elen sila lumenn omentielvo, a star shines on the hour of our meeting."

Frodo to Gildor in Three is Company.

(Sorry, Galadriel, for butting in after not guessing any letters. :o)

[Tuor in Gondolin]

Correct. Hey, your mother never told you life isn't fair. :D
And you have to cut Gildor some slack, after his big scene
was cut from the movie FoTR.

I thought "star", probably preceded with "A" and from
them deducing "shines" might give it away.

[Folwren]

Actually, it was 'our meeting' that got the wheels rolling for me. That and "a star." :)

Bad(ish) news, folks. I leave tomorrow for a ten day holiday, and have no idea if I'll have any internet access while I'm away yet. So if no one has guessed this by the time I leave in the morning, and it has been determined tha I will NOT have internet, I will give the quote and someone else will do the next puzzle.

[Galadriel55]

One of my favourite quotes. I love this scene!

"Hurin Thalion, Morgoth hath bewitched thee; for he that seeth through Morgoth's eyes, willing or unwilling, seeth all things crooked. Long was Turin thy son fostered in the halls of Menegroth, and shown love and honour as the son of the King; and it was not by the King's will nor by mine that he came never back to Doriath."

~Melian to Hurin upon his coming to Doriath with the Nauglamir, in Of the Ruin of Doriath

[Rune Son of Bjarne]

Take it away Galadriel55

(btw the only reason I guessed the last one, was because I by chance read that very quote when searching for something else)

Arise, arise, Riders of Théoden!
Fell deeds awake: fire and slaughter!
spear shall be shaken, shield be splintered,
a sword-day, a red day, ere the sun rises!
Ride now, ride now! Ride to Gondor!

[Galadriel55]

That was quick, though I daresay it was to be expected when the quote is 5 lines of Rohirric poetry. :)

"Bless me!" said Thorin, "haven't you got a map? and didn't you hear our song? and haven't we been talking about all this for hours?"

Btw I just notice that in the Hobbit, the Dwarves use contractions, whereas Gimli in the LotR never does!

[Galadriel55]

Wow, that was really quick! 4 Letters and you got it! And it's not a poem either! :)

Btw I just notice that in the Hobbit, the Dwarves use contractions, whereas Gimli in the LotR never does!

Nice observation. Interesting.

[Folwren]

Well, done Guinevere! I needed just one more letter, and then I would've got it. I mean, how often does "Bless me!" turn up in Tolkien's work, anyway? :D

[Guinevere]

Thank you! "Bless me" was indeed a clue :D First I searched in the LotR, thinking it must be a hobbit speaking. What made me look in the right place, were all those questionmarks, and "song".

Hehe, no, not yet. The longest sentence without E's that I found is about 4-5 words long, and it's very obscure. And a couple others that I thought of are too well-known. Or, in other words, I just forgot about it when I posted the quote. :D But one day it'll happen... You never know... :Merisu:

[Folwren]

N's....so we can have sine. And if someone guesses C and another person guesses O, we can have cosine.

[Guinevere]

Hm, I have a suspicion where this might come from.
But let's have the O's (my favourite letter for this game ;) )

[Galadriel55]

N's....so we can have sine. And if someone guesses C and another person guesses O, we can have cosine.

I always get confused when I hear sine and cosine, because my teacher calls them sin and cos. The foundation of trigonometry is against god! :D

Anyway... no cosine yet, cause no C's... But you've hit the mark with the two last letters. I think you'll be able to guess it now, or soon. :)
