If the Men of Hithlum are so wild and fell, of what sort are the women of that land? Do they run like deer clad only in their hair?

Said by Saeros, everybody's favourite elf, to Turin.

edit: I just realized that I did not contribute any letter and now just solved it...
sorry :o

I hope this helps.

Then evening comes: they fade and twinkle out; the torches pass on into another chamber and another dream.

But I haven't the slightest idea who said it or where it's from, if that's even right.

Guinevere

10-29-2006 08:06 AM

Well done, Kath!
the only word I couldn't figure out before was "chamber" , but now the sentence is complete I see where it's from:
It's Gimli describing the glittering Caves to Legolas!

Firefoot

10-29-2006 11:05 AM

"Twinkle" was the word I couldn't get, and I thought "evening" was "morning" - "torches" was confusing me.

Dimturiel

10-29-2006 11:37 AM

Well, Kath got the quote and Guinivere got the person who says it so you're both right. I say that whichever of you gets here first can have the next one.

Guinevere

10-29-2006 05:05 PM

It's Kath's turn, of course! :)
