Glirdan 09-03-2005 12:15 PM

How about an S? There's normally always an S in sentence. See what I mean?

Firefoot 09-03-2005 12:47 PM

N's, if you will.

the guy who be short 09-03-2005 01:38 PM

Ys please. They may be fairly uncommon, but they have a way of giving away whole words.

I'm never understand how it get it with so little but you are correct!

Firefoot 09-03-2005 06:22 PM

I shan't bore you with most of the details, but let's just say that "long ears and long eyes" is one of my all-time favorite turns of a phrase. :D

Well okay then. I guess I can see how you got that, still no less amazing though.

“Very odd,” said Frodo, while he tightened his belt another notch under the dagger that he wore, “considering that there is actually a good deal less of me.” He grinned. “I hope the thinning process will not go on indefinitely, or I shall become a wraith.”

Why that's dear Frodo Baggins Samwise's trusty companion

Firefoot 09-04-2005 07:03 AM

Correct.

Out of curiosity... what version of LotR are you using? My copy doesn't have the "He grinned" in the middle of it.

mormegil 09-04-2005 11:29 PM

Twas a mistake for which I apologize. :o
