Eowyn perhaps?

Not quite. Good guess though, and Welcome to the Downs.

Then it's got to be: Pippin to Denethor?

You are very much correct Dear Prince. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img] Your turn now.

Ah-hah! It was you, Imrahil, who said this to Aragorn in The Last Debate.

Got it Lostgaeriel!

Your turn [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

Is it someone talking to Gandalf? Can't think of the person off the top of my head at this moment.

It was Éowyn to Faramir in "The Steward and The King."

Yes, Joy, you have it. Your turn.

Oh, that's Sam (holding the Phial of Galadriel) as he passes between the Watchers at the Tower of Cirith Ungol - on his way in.

Yep! I just checked it.

Lost got it to before me. Love that chapter.

You betcha Lost! Your turn. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

Yeah, I love that chapter, too. Seems to me that Sam is the only character inside whose mind Tolkien lets us get inside.

Sam shows his courage, loyalty, hope and resourcefulness. And his reunion with Frodo is wonderful.

One of the Rohirrim. Possibly Hama?

I cannot find the exact quote, but I'm sure it was Eomer about thr Rangers...or about some other people. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img] [img]smilies/confused.gif[/img]

It was Ingold(the gaurd at the gate) of Minas Tirith to Mithrandir/Gandalf concerning Pippin.

I knew that. [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img] [img]smilies/tongue.gif[/img] [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

Some claim the sceptre; others earn it. [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]
Go ahead, Joy - you have earned the victory.

"Oft hope is borne, when all is forlorn."

Gandalf?

Sorry, no. Try again.

Gee, and I had decided not even to try this one. But with a wee bit of thought I quickly found the quote, in The Last Debate. Legolas says this as he relates the story of the journey on the Paths of the Dead to Merry and Pippin.

The clue was the word hope. Whoever was speaking had to be referring to Aragorn.

You are almost correct, Lost. It was not Legolas that was telling this part.

Oops! It was Gimli telling the tale at this point and he was quoting Legolas.

Yes, thou art correct!

Gee, I almost blew that one, eh?

OK, how about this?

It was Gandalf to Pippin in Minas Tirith after they return to their rooms - after that Pippin swore fealty to Denethor.

Who do you think you are? Quickbeam?

Yes. I guess that was too easy. Go ahead! [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

Eomer to hobbits?

Alas, no.

Faramir to Eowyn

You are correct Beren.

Oops, somehow lost the thread for a week! So, sorry. Welp, I'm back so we can continue.

Gandalf the white?

With my 250th post [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img] I have to say no.

[ December 06, 2002: Message edited by: Beren87 ]

Aragorn? maybe to Sam?
