Firefoot 05-14-2005 04:08 PM

Well, I'll just have to keep plugging in letters, then.

Good choice. That should get you a few key words...

"D" Please

Kath 05-14-2005 04:42 PM

In the old days hobbits used to go on their travels now and again. Not that many ever came back, and not that all they said was believed: news from Bree, and not as sure as Shiretalk as the saying go.

Is that it? I'm not sure where it's from though as I've not the books as my brother has stolen them.

elronds_daughter 05-14-2005 04:53 PM

Beat me to it again! Though I'm still not sure where it's from, either. I spent twenty minutes looking for it and couldn't find it! ;)

Firefoot 05-14-2005 07:12 PM

Kath, the quote is correct. It is from the chapter "The Black Gate is Closed," in TTT, right after Sam says the Oliphaunt poem. He also says the quote, to Gollum.

Kath 05-15-2005 04:43 AM

Ok next qoute:

T's?

elronds_daughter 05-15-2005 06:19 AM

"A"s, perchance?

Kath 05-15-2005 08:22 AM

"T--/ -at--/ --/ --t/ ----," (...) "-t/ --/ ---t-/, --t/ t-at/ ----/ --t/ -a--/ ---/, -a-t--/ ----t-----./ --/ ---/ --/ ---!"

Guinevere 05-15-2005 09:34 AM

Can you add the N's please?

Eruanna 05-15-2005 10:34 AM

May we have the Rs please?

Kath 05-15-2005 01:13 PM

Kath 05-15-2005 03:22 PM

You got it Guinevere.

Guinevere 05-16-2005 01:39 PM

Thank you, Kath! :) Here's another one:

"--! ---/ -/ ---/ -------/ -----/ --/ ------/. -/ -----/ --/ ---/ ---/: ----/ ------/ ---/ ------/ ------/ -------/ --/ -----/ --/; ---/ ----/ ------------/ ------/ --/ ---/ -----/ ---/ --------/."

Firefoot 05-16-2005 01:51 PM

How about starting at the beginning: A's?

mormegil 05-16-2005 01:53 PM

Let's try the ever prevelant "E"

Maybe if I dedicate all of my time to just this I can come close. :(

Guinevere 05-16-2005 02:19 PM

"--! ---/ -/ -a-/ -a-----/ a----/ --/ ---e--/. A/ -a---/ --/ --e/ ---/: --e-/ -----e/ --e/ ---e--/ -e----/ --e-e--/ --/ --ea-/ --/; --e/ ----/ e---a-a-----/ -ee-e-/ --/ --e/ -----/ a-e/ -ea-----/."

mormegil 05-16-2005 02:31 PM

"T" Please

Eruanna 05-16-2005 02:32 PM

As usual, I'd like the Ts please. :)

Ooops, cross posted with Mormegil (great minds and all that :D )

I'll take the Rs instead please.

Guinevere 05-16-2005 02:51 PM

"--! --r/ -/ -a-/ ta-----/ a----/ t-/ ---e--/. A/ -a--t/ --/ t-e/ ---/: t-e-/ -----e/ t-e/ ---e-t/ -er---/ -re-e-t/ t-/ --ea-/ t-/; t-e/ ----/ e---a-at----/ -ee-e-/ --/ t-e/ -----/ are/ -ear----/."

mormegil 05-16-2005 02:56 PM

An "I" if you would please.

luthien-elvenprincess 05-16-2005 04:04 PM

B, please

Firefoot 05-16-2005 04:06 PM

L's?

Guinevere 05-17-2005 01:41 AM

"--! --r/ I/ -a-/ tal-i--/ al---/ t-/ ---el-/. A/ -abit/ --/ t-e/ -l-/: t-e-/ -----e/ t-e/ -i-e-t/ -er---/ -re-e-t/ t-/ --ea-/ t-/; t-e/ l---/ e--la-ati---/ -ee-e-/ b-/ t-e/ -----/ are/ -ear--i--/."

Someone will recognize it now, I guess... ;)

Guinevere 05-18-2005 08:22 AM

That's the one, Firefoot!
