Hmmm...Could it be Aragorn to Frodo at the Prancing Pony?

[Rochelle]

I want to say Bill Ferny...but I'm not quite sure that's correct. [going to the books]

[Firondoiel]

I'm pretty sure that alaklondewen is right.

Beren, you know how I really feel about your recent abscence, but one good thing has come from it...after 6 pages of playing this game, I finally caught up to you! smilies/wink.gif

EDIT: Can everyone see my avatar okay?

[ March 21, 2003: Message edited by: alaklondewen ]

[Beren87]

And then you come up with a quote that I don't know of the top of my head. Bah! smilies/tongue.gif

[eleanor_niphredil]

Frodo to Boromir, when he is talking about going to Minas tirith?

[alaklondewen]

Eleanor, you are right! Please, proceed.

[GaladrieloftheOlden]

Can everyone see my avatar okay?
Nope. smilies/redface.gif

[GaladrieloftheOlden]

Eleanor? Are you there? Well, only two days I guess....

[eleanor_niphredil]

sorry. im here now. i can never get at the computer these days. new quote.

What is the plan for today?

[alaklondewen]

That would be Pippin to Frodo after their night with Gildor and the other elves.

[Firondoiel]

eleanor? Is alaklondewen right?

[eleanor_niphredil]

She certainly is. Your turn alaklondewen.

[alaklondewen]

Gandalf to Frodo concerning the Ring, I think.

Gandalf says that at the Council of Elrond to Galdor.

Aragorn at Caradhras? Or at Moria? smilies/confused.gif

[Dondagnirion]

I would say not at Moria but just when they got out after they had lost Gandalf to the Balrog.

Dondagnirion

[Horse-Maiden of the Shire]

I would say maybe Aragorn after the death of Boromir?

[Firondoiel]

No, no, and no.

[Beren87]

Gandalf to the Fellowship in Moria after Gimli pointed out that there was a red light ahead and he (Gandalf) remember the orcs said something about the lower levels being on fire.

[Firondoiel]

You are correct Beren! Carry on.

Yes that would have made it obvious indeed. This, of course, is Merry to Frodo, Sam, and Pippin when they reached Crickhollow.

sounds like celeborn to legolas

...but I think his wording was slightly different...maybe it wasn't him...
When he said it, I think he said "too seldom do my kindred journey from the north", or something like that.

Sorry Galadriel but that's not it. Keep trying.

Nope, sorry.

[GaladrieloftheOlden]

I remember this one purely because when I read Strider saying this to Frodo, it didn't make a bit of sense in the slightest to me.

That is Bilbo concerning men and hobbits. And welcome to the downs Ruitha!

that the bones line was from the movie.

No it wasn't. What he said in the movie was...

"I am old Gandalf. I know I don't look it, but I've begun to feel it in my heart.

But I'm pretty sure that he said heart of hearts in the book so where did the I feel it in my bones come from? smilies/confused.gif

[ May 06, 2003: Message edited by: Firondoiel ]

[the phantom]

Here's what the book says in that part of the story...
"I feel I need a holiday, a very long holiday, as I have told you before. Probably a permanent holiday: I don't expect I shall return. In fact, I don't mean to, and I have made all arrangements.
'I am old Gandalf. I don't look it, but I am beginning to feel it in my heart of hearts. Well-preserved indeed!' he snorted. 'Why, I feel all thin, sort of stretched, if you know what I mean: like butter that has been scraped over too much bread. That can't be right. I need a change, or something.'
So that's not where it came from. I'm remembering a bones line too, but it wasn't there, and it might not have been Bilbo.

[GaladrieloftheOlden]

Then I guess I screwed up, and took it from the movie instead of book smilies/frown.gif

No biggie. Just for future reference, book quotes only on this thread, k? smilies/smile.gif

(but who knows, maybe somebody somewhere in FOTR says the bones line, so you can pretend you did it right smilies/smile.gif

[GaladrieloftheOlden]

Could be Frodo?

Nope.

Keep looking (or guessing in your case).

I'm not guessing, it's just that I can't find the book and am trying to remember without it smilies/rolleyes.gif Gandalf?

~Menelien

[the phantom]

Ha ha! Sounds kinda like guessing. smilies/biggrin.gif Don't worry about it, I'm just one of those weirdos that almost always hates posting something that has any chance of being wrong, so whenever I have a guess about something I scour the book to find the exact quote to make sure I'm right, and if I don't find it I usually don't have the guts to guess.

And nope, it's not Gandalf.

(by the way, your first response wasn't too far off)

[GaladrieloftheOlden]

Bombadil about the rangers wasn't far... uh... the rangers about Bombadil? smilies/wink.gif Alright, was it Aragorn?

Is it that Aragorn to the hobbits by any chance?

[the phantom]

It's possible that this quote appears more than once, so perhaps one of you is correct, but none of you named the one I'm looking for (if the quote is duplicated elsewhere, I suppose I could give it to you if you were to give me the exact quote and cite it's location in the book).

[mordor136]

Tom Bombadil to the hobbits by any chance?

[gilraën]

`We shall all be scattered and lost,' groaned Aragorn. `Boromir! I do not know what part you have played in this mischief, but help now! Go after those two young hobbits, and guard them at the least, even if you cannot find Frodo. Come back to this spot, if you find him, or any traces of
him. I shall return soon.'

Yes, gilraen, that is exactly what I had in mind.
