tosn
 

MY apologies, there is a mistake in my previous ('ot' in the third word from the end, not in the fourth). I believe there are no mistakes in there anymore

Here we have tosn:

Let's have some 'E's please.

Esty, did you notice that for several posts in a row now we keep perfect distance of 300 posts in between our post score? :D

That aside, there are some e's in there, sure:

No, I haven't been paying attention to my post count, HI, but I did find the quote! It's Aotrou, speaking to his wife Itroun (in the Lay named after them): Aww, White Knight Istarion is longing to do great deeds for his Missus! ;)

Posts re: in this in and out row of posting it caught my eye. With current post, I'll get it back to 300 - 3948-3648 :D

White Knight re: not purely white, rather whitish or even greyish :D. But I try harder!

And the quote itself re: Of course, my lady, you are entitled to proceed

WARNING: Just this once, I am using a line that is not a quote; it is not spoken directly by anyone, but is a part of the narrative. However, it seemed such an appropriate tribute to Heren and Mrs. Istarion that I decided to use it anyway.

(There are two hyphenated words; I have rendered the - as _.)

I like this 'keep it three hundred' curve :D
 

Let it be e's for the first try

"l"s, please.

+ L + E
 

-l- --- -------l --- - -e--- -e-----, -----e- -ll ---- ----e-----, --- --- -e---e- --e-----; --- ----e ---- ----e--e---- --- -l--_l-l-e- --- ---l--- --- ---e- -ll -- --l-e-_--ee-.

hm... -l--_lilies... and something about a wedding...http://www.travar.de/Templates/Webpr...mages/idea.gif

Old Tom Bombadil had a merry wedding,
crowned all with buttercups, hat and feather shedding;
his bride with forgetmenots and flag-lilies for garland
was robed all in silver-green.

A lovely picture indeed!

Applause, Guinevere!! You got it with only two letters!! You must be the absolute palantir champion of the Downs!

Well, I have to thank Tuor of Gondolin for the L's, and Esty for the hints! :D

"---/ -----------/ ------/ ---/ --------/ ---/ ----/ ------/ --/ ----/, ----/ -------/. ----/, --/ --/ -----/!"

Let's start off with S, please.

"---/ -----------/ ------/ --s/ --------/ ---/ ----/ ------/ --/ ----/, ----/ ---s---/. ----/, --/ --/ s----/!"

S T
 

After S comes T, of course...

S, T :D

"T--/ -----tt----/ ------/ --s/ -----t--/ ---/ ----/ --t---/ --/ ----/, ----/ ---s---/. ----/, --/ t-/ s----/!"

R, please

Good choice!
"T--/ r--r-tt----/ ------/ --s/ ----rt--/ ---/ ----/ r-t---/ --/ --r-/, ---r/ --rs---/. -r--/, --/ t-/ s----/!"

Time for a vowel - let's have the "E"s, please.

"T-e/ re-rett---e/ ------/ --s/ -e--rte-/ ---/ ----/ ret---/ --/ --re/, ---r/ --rs---/. -r--/, --/ t-/ s-ee-/!"

It's the message the mer-people sent to the Sea-serpent regarding Artaxerxes, also know as PAM, in Roverandom.

That's it, Esty! :)

Just a reminder...

I'll imitate you and ask for the T's

T-time

You'd forgotten Barrow-wight dwelling in the old mound
up there on hill-top with the ring of stones round.

The Barrow-wight to Tom Bombadil .

(it took me forever to figure out what letter could possibly come after the ' )

BtW, thank you for the O's, Tuor! It must be frustrating for you, the results getting snatched away from you every time. I feel rather guilty :( , but just can't resist...

Right yet again, Guinevere!! It's positively uncanny...

Thanks, Esty! and sorry for the delay... RL kept me away from the BD. ;)

"---/ -----/ ---'-/ ----./" (......) "----'-/ ---/ ---/ ----/ ----/ -----/. ----/, -----/ --/ --/. -/ ----/ ------/ --/ --/ ---/ ----/ ----/ --/ ------/ ---/ -----/."

Nasssty RL, to keep precious away from the Downses!

Let's start off with a T again, please.

"T--/ -----/ ---'t/ ----./" (......) "T--t'-/ t--/ ---/ --t-/ ----/ ---t-/. ----/, t----/ -t/ --/. -/ ----/ ------/ -t/ --/ ---/ ----/ ----/ t-/ ------/ ---/ t----/."

Now the inevitable Ss, please. (I'm so predictable! :rolleyes: )

No need, no need in S's :D
 

“The child won't know," (said the smith). "That's the way with such gifts. Well, there it is. I have handed it on and come back to hammer and tongs.

HI strikes again! http://www.travar.de/~allskins/Webpr.../notworthy.gif

Does he, now?
 

Mix of luck and guesswork, merely this and nothing more

Next one:

Repeating myself, but it seems the most helpful choice - T, please.

12 little t's for your pleasure, my lady:
