Don't restrain yourselves for me. If I'm able to solve one first I want it to be honestly deserved. :p

Shame upon me for not seeing this earlier...
 
'If none can release us,' said Maglor, 'then indeed the Everlasting Darkness shall be out lot, whether we keep out oath or break it; but less evil shall we do in the breaking.'

Yep, that's the one.

Macalaure 08-27-2006 02:54 PM
It's right, of course, but...
 
How, how, do you do this??

Those were 2 letters!!

How?

:eek: ;)

Guinevere 08-28-2006 03:46 AM
It was just lucky guessing! :D
But if you want to know how exactly I arrived at this one:
I supposed that the second word was probably "are" and the third "the". From there I concluded that the first word might be "these" or "those". I tried several letters starting -tr-----t, and it seemed most likely to me that it was "str---- , and the t at the end led me to think of a superlative. So, "strongest", or "strangest" came to my mind. And, because it's Tolkien, it was probable that /tr---/ would be "trees". The next one, "that" was only logical, and, if the one letter word was "I", as I supposed, "ever I saw" just popped up before my eyes.
As this was revealing enough, I could look up the second part of the sentence in the book.

Well, here's another one for you to solve:
