Yes indeed! smilies/smile.gif (But what a difference to the weak Movie-Frodo! smilies/frown.gif )

[Eruanna]

Yes, I also thought that (movie) Sam's bravery came at the expense of Frodo's character...a pity, since I always thought that the book showed Sam's emerging equality with Frodo very well.

None has ever been hewn. It bears cool leaves in summer, and flowers in winter. It is for this that we prize it.
The Eldar of Erëssea to Aldarion, about the sapling tree that they had brought as a wedding gift to him. (When he had said that the wood of such a tree must be precious. Typical attitudes I think!)

Mourn not overmuch! Mighty was the fallen, meet was his ending. When his mound is raised, women then shall weep. War now calls us! Eomer when Theoden died.

[Firefoot]

Umm, because of the forum changes the last guesses have been deleted. R's, A's, N's, and T's were added to my new quote. Here is where it was at:AN-/A-/--R/-R--R-,/-/T--N-/---/-A--/A/-A--AN/T-/--A-/--T-,/N-T/A/--R-./-/---T/R-N./-/----/R-T-RN/--/-/-AN.

"A malice has been here with strength greater than that of Orcs. Fear lingers in this place."
Voronwë to Tuor about Faelivrin ruined by Glaurung.

(I had found out all the words except 2, but it took me a very long time to find out that the quote came from U.T.! I first thought it was Gandalf about the Balrog in Moria...;)

They are Elvish wights. Let them go where they belong, into the dark places, and never return. The times are evil enough.

Some people of Rohan talking about Aragorn, Gimli and Legolas.

Indeed it is! Please proceed, Mariska.

[The Saucepan Man]

I'm going to have to close this thread due to its length. Firefoot, please could you start a new thread and post the rules of the game together with your current question?

Thanks. :)

[Firefoot]

Since the last thread became too long I am reopening it here as Saucepan Man asked. The rules are:

The question consists of a series of blanks representing a quote or extract from one of Tolkien's books. The blanks are gradually filled with letters requested by the players until one of the players is able to guess the quote.

You can join in requesting letters or make a guess any time. The person who correctly guesses the quote first gets to set the next one.

My current question is:

--/S--E/---ER/-ASSES/-R--/---/T-/A/T--N-/T-AT/---/-A-E/-A-E,/T-EN/---/--ST/TA-E/A/S-ARE/-N/-TS/--RTS.

[Nilpaurion Felagund]

If some power passes from you to a thing that you have made, then you must take a share in its hurts.

Aghan, the Drug. :)

[Firefoot]

Yep, I thought we were getting close to an answer. Your go, Nilpaurion.

[Nilpaurion Felagund]

OK, you should stop now.

You're right. *composes self* 'Ere we go, 'ere we go 'ere we go!!!

I'm sorry, Evissë. Didn't see your post yesterday. Haste makes waste, and men blind.

[Firefoot]

N's?

[Evisse the Blue]

I'm sorry, Evissë. That's alright. You made it up by adding the extra dots on my name!:D

Is this the quote: Then he fell flat on the floor and kept on calling out 'struck by lightning, struck by lightning!' over and over again. Bilbo, in The Hobbit.
