For though we leave a host of foes behind, what matter? If the Stone-city falls, then we shall have no returning. If it is saved, then the orc-host itself will be cut off.If you are faithful, Ghan-buri-Ghan, then we will give you rich reward, and you shall have the friendship of the Mark for ever
Spoken by Theoden.

(btw, I wouldn't have needed any letters, right after I asked you about the hyphens, I saw that the word with the two hyphens could only be Ghan-buri-Ghan. I just went upstairs to check in the book smilies/biggrin.gif )

I think I've got it:

"For though we leave a host of foes behind, what matter? If the Stone-city falls, then we shall have no returning. If it is saved, then the orc-host itself will be cut off. If you are faithful Ghan-buri-Ghan, then we will give you rich reward, and you shall have the frienship of the Mark forever."

I think this is it, from the Appendices:

A great doom awaits you, either to rise above the height of all your fathers since the days of Elendil, or to fall into darkness with all that is left of your kin.

Elrond speaking to Aragorn.

[Guinevere]

That's right, Eruanna, well done! smilies/smile.gif
(btw in the movie it's Galadriel who says this, but instead of "doom" it's "choice" there)

[Eruanna]

Thanks. Here's a new one.....an extract from quite a long speech:

I hope you're not mad at me for popping in with the answer, after you've asked all these letters smilies/frown.gif but I just can't resist when I see it... smilies/wink.gif

And then I couldn't think of any other question with him sitting beside me,

That sounds like Bilbo talking about the Riddle Game with Gollum, at the Council of Elrond I would guess.

Well, you have the right person and what it was about, just the wrong place. But you more or less have it.

Well, can I have a few E's , please?

[Gwaihir the Windlord]

Hmm, I thought you had to give the location of the quote etc when you got the right answer? I knew the words, just not where it was from smilies/frown.gif. Not fair at all. I couldn't find it... actually I too would be very interested in where in fact it came from, if you could let us know thanks =]

D please

[gilraën]

It's from the Hobbit, where Bilbo sneaks up on the Gandalf anf the Dwarves wearing the ring.

May I have an A please?

[The Saucepan Man]

Hmm, I thought you had to give the location of the quote etc when you got the right answer?

Well, yes, although it's more by convention than by the original rules of the game. And ultimately, it's within the discretion of the question setter whether to accept an answer or not. I just posted in the hope that the speaker and the subject matter would be sufficient. smilies/wink.gif

It's from the Hobbit, where Bilbo sneaks up on the Gandalf and the Dwarves wearing the ring.

Of course it is! I hadn't looked there because I remembered that Bilbo didn't tell them about the Ring then. Welcome back, by the way, gilraën. smilies/smile.gif I hope that you had a good break, and didn't miss us all too much. smilies/wink.gif

Found it when I realised it begun with 'all because of a', though it wasn't what I originally thought it was smilies/smile.gif

'All because of a pack of crows! I had looked forward to a real good meal tonight: something hot.'

Said by Pippin to the Fellowship after the Crebain had passed.

[Gwaihir the Windlord]

It's from the Hobbit, where Bilbo sneaks up on the Gandalf and the Dwarves wearing the ring.

Of course it is, but unfortunately, that episode of the book managed to totally slip my faulty memory.

But I have no time to blow smoke-rings this morning. I am looking for someone to share in an adventure that I am arranging, and its very difficult to find anyone.

Said by Gandalf the Wizard to Bilbo Baggins outside Bag End one morning long ago in the quiet of the world. smilies/smile.gif

There is one stream there, I know, black and strong which crosses the path. That, you should neither drink of, nor bathe in; for I have heard that it carries enchantment and a great drowsiness and forgetfullness.

Oh, but it does make sense! (thanks to Shadowfax)
It's Gandalf, riding to Minas Tirith with Pippin: On, Shadowfax! We must hasten. Time is short. See! The beacons of Gondor are alight, calling for aid. War is kindled. See, there is the fire on Amon Dîn, and flame on Eilenach, and there they go speeding west: Nardol, Erelas, Min-Rimmon, Calenhad, and the Halifirien on the borders of Rohan.
