Whoever finds the quote, as I will be away for a week or so, please continue with the game without waiting for confirmation. :cool:

Aha! :) It's Bilbo telling the dwarves how he escaped from under the mountain:
They asked him if there weren't any guards and he said:

"Oh yes! Lots of them; but I dodged 'em. I got stuck in the door, which was only open a crack, and I lost lots of buttons."

Firefoot 03-29-2005 02:30 PM

That's the one. :)

Guinevere 03-30-2005 01:31 PM

Thanks, Firefoot! (lovely picture, btw)

Guinevere 04-02-2005 01:57 PM

That's it!
 
Well done, Tuor!

Tuor of Gondolin 04-02-2005 04:46 PM

Okay. Since the original parameters for this thread specified
LOTR related , how about this quote from an event
in Middle-earth history? (hint, CT edited).

Firefoot 04-02-2005 05:03 PM

Well, I guess I won't be getting this one, unless it's because there are an overabundance of letters filled in... *sigh*

T's?

luthien-elvenprincess 04-02-2005 06:07 PM

I doubt I will be able to either...but how about the "N's".

This is probably a dumb question, but what does "CT edited" mean?

The Elf-warrior 04-02-2005 06:20 PM

A's?

Tuor of Gondolin 04-02-2005 09:01 PM

CT= One of the books that Christopher Tolkien edited
(The Silmarillion, Unfinished Tales, HoME, etc.).

Actually, there are a few key words which could
give the speaker away. It's really not all that
hard.

*confused* But we've been quoting from the Silm. and U.T. all the time. Haven't you noticed? ;) The HoME is another matter... I take it your quote is from there??

Can you add the O's for me ?

Firefoot 04-03-2005 05:50 AM

D's?

Tuor of Gondolin 04-03-2005 07:35 AM

"The HoME is another matter... I take it your quote is from there?"
Maybe it is, and maybe it isn't. I just thought I'd note the
possibility, and if there were objections, make sure the quote
was from an agreed source. :)

Some R's, mayhap?
