Oh dear - I've completely forgotten which quote this is! I'll try to find it, or choose a new one, in the next hours...

Estelyn Telcontar 08-24-2005 02:58 PM

Found it again! Here it is, with A and L:

--- la------ l--- a- --- la-, - -----, -- --- -a----- -- --- -----, ---l- --- ---- -l-------.

Durelin 08-24-2005 03:02 PM

With all those 'la's, all I can think of is 'Tra la lally'! :eek:

E's?

Estelyn Telcontar 08-24-2005 03:09 PM

Guinevere 08-25-2005 12:59 PM

hm, no idea at all .... can't do without the good old T after all :p

Estelyn Telcontar 08-25-2005 01:28 PM

some S's perhaps ?

Estelyn Telcontar 08-26-2005 11:49 AM

Yesss
 
--- la----ed l--- as --- la-, I --ess, i- --e -at--es -- t-e -i--t, --ile --e -ise sl-----ed.

Guinevere 08-26-2005 01:58 PM

Could I have the O's, please?

Estelyn Telcontar 08-26-2005 02:03 PM

We have almost all the vowels by now! Consonants are actually more revealing...

-o- la-o--ed lo-- as -o- la-, I --ess, i- t-e -at--es o- t-e -i--t, --ile t-e -ise sl---e-ed.

Guinevere 08-26-2005 02:11 PM

But I needed the O's to make sure that I guessed rightly about, the first three words... (and the t's and e you forgot didn't make it easier... ;) )

Estelyn Telcontar 08-26-2005 02:17 PM

My abject apologies for those forgotten letters - I did correct them when I noticed. Yes, you're right! I like that sentence; it reminds me of Éowyn's description "the watches of the night"...

Guinevere 08-27-2005 01:11 PM

Ah, that's Parish, speaking to Niggle:

'This is grand!' he said. 'I oughtn't to be here, really. Thank you for putting in a word for me.'

Guinevere 08-29-2005 01:10 PM

Exactly!
 
I was sure you'd get it now!

Estelyn Telcontar 08-30-2005 12:25 AM

Mind you, this is not a personal statement...

Estelyn Telcontar 09-02-2005 03:37 AM

Very good, Guinevere! It certainly wasn't easy with those letters! Next one's yours.

Guinevere 09-08-2005 07:58 AM

Thank you Esty, and sorry for the delay!

-/ ---/ ----/ ---/ ----/ ---/ -----/ --/ ---/ ---/ ---/ ----/ -------/ ----!

Tuor in Gondolin 09-08-2005 10:06 AM

"c"s?

(I'm not really new (I'm Tuor of Gondolin)
but had to get a new password when
going from AOl to yahoo since I'm using
library computers for a while).

Estelyn Telcontar 09-08-2005 01:12 PM

...and the inevitable Ts, please.

Guinevere 09-08-2005 02:12 PM

sorry to disappoint you: only one T and no C at all. :(
