"I feel magnificent," he thought; "but I expect I look rather absurd. How they would laugh on the Hill at home! Still I wish there was a looking-glass handy!" ~Bilbo, Not At Home

[Aganzir]

Should have known it was Bilbo! I just couldn't remember at all who had said anything like that (ang granted, I only had like half of it).

[Galadriel55]

Should have known it was Bilbo! I just couldn't remember at all who had said anything like that (ang granted, I only had like half of it).

I only had the looking-glass part, and I thought that's a hobbit but for a long time I couldn't figure out which one it was. Then I got magnificent, and realised that it's probably when one of them receives a mithril chainmail, and there are only two such instances.

[Guinevere]

Well done, Galadriel55!

If you wish to be slain, I will slay you gladly. But small help will that be to Morwen and Niënor. No heed did you give to the cries of the elf-woman. Will you deny also the bond of your blood?

Glaurung to Túrin, in the version of "The Children of Húrin" ( I was puzzled at first, because in the Silmarillion version it's "if thou wilt be slain..."etc.

[Galadriel55]

Glaurung to Túrin, in the version of "The Children of Húrin" ( I was puzzled at first, because in the Silmarillion version it's "if thou wilt be slain..."etc.

Yes, that's the one. I thought it sounded a bit odd that Glaurung uses "you" because I remember him speaking with "thou", but i thought that's just my imagination. This solves the issue, though. Anyways, well done!

[Guinevere]

Thank you! :)

"Hither shall the flowers of Simbelmyne come never unto the world's end" ~Aragorn, the Passing of the Grey Company. Such a beautiful passage!

[Guinevere]

That's it, Galadriel55! I find this passage rather creepy and haunting...

Thank you, Thenamir!

I hope someone guesses it soon, on Sunday I'll be away (without internet) for 2 weeks.!

[Thenamir]

I know the answer, but I cheated. If no one gets it, I will fill it in and move on. In the meantime, I think an O will give it away.

I suppose I can play the master of ceremonies in Guinevere's absence and suggest you take over the thread. :cool:

http://www.myrias.de/Templates/Portal/images/idea.gif Found it!!

"What!" cried Gloin
"One of those simpletons down in the Shire? What use on earth, or under it, could he possibly be? let him smell as he may, he would never dare to come within smelling distance of the nakedest dragonet new from the shell!"

Gloin (in the company of Thorin, Balin etc.) at Gandalf's suggestion to take a hobbit on their quest. (In the earlier version of "The Quest of Erebor", found in the Appendix to it)

The end of the quote puzzled me a lot (I'd never haved guessed those words) but "what use on earth or under it" rang a bell! :D

[Tuor in Gondolin]

Correct!

I like that bit of the dwarf's snarkiness (I guess Bilbo related
somewhat at the time to Rodney Dangerfield). And why when
reading of the "nakedest dragonet" are ones thoughts drawn to
royal babies?

[Guinevere]
