"Quite safe, yes," he whispered to himself. "It won't see us, will it, my precious? No. It won't see us, and its nassty little sword will be useless, yes quite."
Gollum to himself.

mormegil 07-02-2005 05:25 PM

Yes, Firefoot, you are correct. Let me ask did you get it quickly because of the repeated "won't see us" or was it something else?

Firefoot 07-02-2005 08:25 PM

The biggest part was the "No." in the middle of it - there aren't many places where a character answers his/herself with a simple No. Then I got the "won't see __, will it, __ ______?"

Yep.

I never noticed that neat bit of a quote until yesterday... so of course I had to use it. ;)

the guy who be short 07-03-2005 11:42 AM

Hmm, that was my first ever post in Quotable Quotes.

May I ask if the brackets are meant to be there?

Oh, and gimme an E.

Ye gods, you were right... I'm addicted already.

mormegil 07-03-2005 02:40 PM

Yes the brackets indicate a hyphenated word.

Guinevere 07-04-2005 09:50 AM

Aha! This is Glaurung, taunting you, Mormegil:

"No heed didst thou give to the cries of the Elf-woman. Wilt thou deny also the bond of thy blood?"

mormegil 07-04-2005 08:27 PM

Very good Guinevere! Your turn :)

Guinevere 07-05-2005 03:49 PM

Thank you, Mormegil!
(I feel a bit guilty because I had not asked for a single letter and now I come and snatch it away from the others... :o but I just couldn't resist.)
Anyway, here is a new one:
