Beware of the wights if your path leads that way
Anger lurks here where is no trace of day
Roaming souls of the wagabond world
Raging in Darkness under skies ever cold
Over the valley and under the hill
Wraiths walk aoad, host of fear and thrill
Deadly their eyes, greenish burning within
Oath to keep, cracking bones and no skin
Woven are spells of the powerful word
Never to fail, be unoken their sword…
So, beware of the wights on the <a href=http://www.barrowdowns.com>Barrow-Downs</a> way!

Re: !!The Hobbit Quotes!! (2)

hmmmm, I'm stumped on that one, not having a copy to look it up in!

I'm guessing Gandalf said it, but to whom, and about what I have no idea!

Re: !!The Hobbit Quotes!! (2)

Your guess is correct, but, though I'm awfully sorry to say that <img src=smile.gif ALT=":)"> , that is not enough. Circumstances, we need circumstances!

Gandalf trying to placate Bilbo, who has forgotten his pocket handkerchief? smilies/confused.gif

Elanor

09-24-2001, 11:43 AM

Oh! Just though of it - Gandalf leaving the dwarves at Mirkwood, saying he'll ride Beorn's horse back?

HerenIstarion

09-25-2001, 12:44 AM

aye, Elanor, you got it smilies/smile.gif
proceed

Elanor

09-25-2001, 03:24 PM

Ok, what was "delicious" and "most astonishing wonderful"? And who thought so?

Halbarad

09-25-2001, 04:46 PM

Bilbo Baggins riding a pony?

IthaJoy

09-26-2001, 08:47 AM

was it Bomber about his dream of the elves food in Mirkwood?

Elanor

09-26-2001, 11:55 AM

Halbarad has it right!

William Huggins the Troll's purse to Bilbo Baggins the Hobbit, burglar and esquire smilies/tongue.gif

Bilbo to the people at the auction?

Beorn after verifying the truth of Gandalf's story about the goblins?

HerenIstarion

10-09-2001, 11:48 PM

correct, ye rider, you may proceed

Elendur

10-10-2001, 12:01 AM

I thought over that one for almost 10 minutes but couldnt get it. smilies/frown.gif

Halbarad

10-27-2001, 08:06 PM

Sorry about the looong delay, it looks like I killed the thread, but I have been embroiled in exams. Anyhoo, here is the only one I can remember off the top, nice and easy to get the ball rollin again:
" Box without hinges, key or lid, but golden treasure inside is hid" Who answered it and what were it's exact words?

HerenIstarion

10-28-2001, 02:22 AM

gollum did it. his exact words:

"Eggses!" he hissed. "Eggses it is!"

Halbarad

10-28-2001, 05:10 PM

Your turn H-I. Make it a really hard and obscure one smilies/smile.gif

HerenIstarion

10-31-2001, 11:38 PM

it's hard to find really obscure quote in The Hobbit, yet...

"Urn!... So you say!

Durin's Bane86

11-01-2001, 02:08 PM

Wasn't that the Great Goblin after Thorin explained that they were merely staying in the cave to get out of the storm and have some rest?

HerenIstarion

11-04-2001, 03:27 PM

exactly!

proceed

Durin's Bane86

Here goes:

"It is some good being a wizard,"

Beorn when Gandalf tells about their escape from the goblins and wargs and how he made a fire

Durin's Bane86

Halbarad

11-08-2001, 09:40 PM

Lacking a book I am going to have to think really hard.

"my legs, oh my poor legs"

Yes !! I am a wight. Man that took a long time!

[ November 08, 2001: Message edited by: Halbarad ]

Lostgaeriel

11-10-2001, 08:05 PM

Dori groaned "my legs, oh my poor legs!" while Bilbo held Dori's ankles as an eagle carried them away from the top of the tree. Thus they escaped the wargs, goblins and fire around the tree. (Out of the Frying Pan into the Fire)

It's been many years since I've read this book, so I just flipped pages until I found it. Must read it again soon.

Your turn... Good to see a new face in this thread smilies/smile.gif

11-19-2001, 12:20 AM

OK. Who said this to whom? And what were the circumstances? My mind does not change with the rising and the setting of a few suns.

Eowyn of Ithilien

11-19-2001, 02:36 AM

Aragorn...ugh mental blank :/ don't remember to whom...or even if it's Aragorn

Pippin

11-19-2001, 08:47 AM

hello all, can I play? (shudders as memories of cruel children during break when I was a childe....tee hee)
Right, ere' ya go.

"and me!"

Pippin

11-19-2001, 08:49 AM

oh, my dumbass computer sent my entry to the wrong page. ahem...

"and me!"

Pippin

11-19-2001, 08:52 AM

...ok, NOW I understand what's going on, I was looking at the wrong page. when you've done with Lostgariel's quote (and i think it was Aragorn come to think of it...) then have a bash at mine....

The Laurenendorian

11-19-2001, 02:51 PM

Lostgaeriel's, I believe, is Thorin. This is the morning after Bard has been given the Arkenstone, and he asks Thorin if he is of the same mind.

Pippin's certainly sounds like a Bilbo thing to say (can you picture one of the dwarves saying it?), but I can't think exactly where. Are we allowed to use the books?

[ November 19, 2001: Message edited by: The Laurenendorian ]

Pippin

11-20-2001, 06:18 AM

The Laurenendorian: It WAS actually a dwarf...
use a book if you want, i don't mind. it'll take you a while to find though, it's in an unlikely place.

Lostgaeriel

11-20-2001, 08:03 PM

The Laurenendorian has answered my quote correctly. It was indeed Thorin speaking to Bard as Bard comes to bargain the Arkenstone for gold. (The Clouds Burst) smilies/smile.gif

So it's The Laurenendorian's turn to pose us a quote. But I guess we've got to answer Pippin's as well. smilies/wink.gif

Pippin

11-21-2001, 07:42 AM

Sorry I was on the other page when I posed it...there seemed to be an opening. I promise I'll wait my turn next time!

The Laurenendorian

11-21-2001, 12:20 PM

I'm really confused.

I'm sure I replied to this yesterday, guessing that Bombur (when they come to Beorn's house) was the answer to Pippin's...

----

If I'm right about that, try this one:

-"Why, O why did I ever bring a wretched little hobbit on a treasure hunt?"

Pippin

11-22-2001, 07:24 AM

Right you are!
like I said, double pages are confusing...I keep replying to questions that have been continued on other pages and find my answer posted somewhere else....

was it Thorin when Bilbo admits to giving away the Arkenstone?

The Laurenendorian

11-22-2001, 07:38 AM

'fraid not, young Took.

Carry on guessing.
smilies/smile.gif

Pippin

11-23-2001, 04:54 AM

Thorin when they realise they have left the burglar behind in the goblin caves? It sounds like a Thorin thing to say...

Yay! I'm an animated skeleton already! smilies/biggrin.gif

HerenIstarion

11-23-2001, 02:00 PM

nay smilies/smile.gif, that's Dori carrying Bolbo along while goblin hunt was on their heels

The Laurenendorian

11-24-2001, 04:33 AM

All wrong, but Heren Istarion comes closer than most.

Please continue.

Pippin

11-27-2001, 04:19 AM

so it was Dori?
Oooh, was it when he has to climb out of the tree and help Bilbo up when they are surrounded by Wargs?

smilies/frown.gif smilies/eek.gif smilies/frown.gif

Turambar

11-27-2001, 05:46 AM

I thought it was Bombur, after the escape from the goblins.

The Laurenendorian

12-01-2001, 04:26 AM

Turambar has the solution.

Play on!

Turambar

12-01-2001, 05:59 PM

I have saved you to the last. You have never failed me and always I have recovered you.

Halbarad

12-03-2001, 06:19 PM

I belive the quote starts: "Black arrow, Black arrow." It's Bard talking to his black arrow on the rooftops of Esgaroth

Turambar

12-04-2001, 08:54 AM

Correct, Dunedain.

HerenIstarion

12-13-2001, 04:59 AM

Turambar

12-13-2001, 06:47 AM

Yes, Halbarad was correct. smilies/smile.gif

Elendur

01-09-2002, 09:55 PM

It has been about a month since Hallbarad has showed up. One of you guys do the honors. Post up another quote.

Pippin

01-12-2002, 09:12 AM

Ok, I'll take it.

He is too fat to get through keyholes yet!

HerenIstarion

01-12-2002, 11:02 AM

That would be the fourth spider in Mirkwood, talking about the dwarves that they had hanging on their trees.

HerenIstarion

07-01-2004, 02:47 AM

I'm awfully sorry, I've missed the correct answer for more than two years!. Shame on me.

Well, if Nice-Smeagol is still around and remembers the thing, he's entitled to go on :D
