AHNORSTU

"---us-/--/,"sa--/h-/,"-u-/--r-/-ou/-oo--n-/-or/--/,--/an-/-han--?"

E?

Oh yes, plenty of E's. :)

AEHNORSTU

"E--use/-e/,"sa--/he/,"-u-/-ere/-ou/-oo--n-/-or/-e/,--/an-/-han-e?"

I'm waiting for some guesses now. :D

"i"s?

But there must be a T !
And I suspect this is Chrisophylax speaking to Farmer Giles, unless this exact quote exists twice...

"Excuse me," said he, "but were you looking for me, by any chance?"

Ooooops
 

:o Oh my, I'm so sorry Guinevere! You're right, of course. And I checked the quote at least 3 times before posting that answer... :rolleyes:

You got the quote and the characters right so the thread is yours. :)
But, to be exact, these lines were spoken by Farmer Giles to Chrysophylax. So this quote indeed exists twice, though the wording isn't identical (Chrysophylax' words were: Excuse my asking, but were you looking for me, by any chance?).

Please carry on, Guinevere!

I have been wondering if this quote occured in LotR or the Hobbit as well, because for the Minor works we have a separate thread:
Palantir of Fortune Minor works edition
Esty and I would be happy if someone else would join us and revive the thread! :)

Anyhow, here is a new quote :

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

"v"s?

E, please.

;) S, as in Sam, please?

How about a u (or is it an u)

Know this 'cause my last name begins with "U"...
 

;)(it's "a" u.)

"H" as in Hobbit? :D

EHSUV


"--u/ h-ve/ ---e/ ---/ --e/ he-e/ -e-/, --/ -h-s/ ve--/ ----/ --/ --e-/, --/ -h---e/ -s/ --/ ---/ see-/. ---/ --/ -s/ ---/ s-."

I shall be away for a week, with no computer access (Going to the German Tolkien Seminar in Jena ). so no additional letters until then, sorry!

Is there....
 

.... a Y

How about an "o"

Have fun, Guinevere ! :D

Oh, and an "a"

PS. Yes, have fun.

"c"s?

EHSUV YOAC


"You/ have/ co-e/ a--/ a-e/ he-e/ -e-/, --/ -h-s/ ve-y/ --c-/ o-/ ---e/, -y/ cha-ce/ as/ --/ -ay/ see-/. Ye-/ --/ -s/ -o-/ so."

(Thank you!:) It really was fun, and nice to meet Esty again)

"You have come and are here met, in this very nick of time, by chance as it may seem. Yet it is not so."


Quite easy with so many letters. :)



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

"c"s?

C


"---/ ----/ --/ ---/ ----/ ---/ --/ -/ -----/ ----/, -----/ -/ -----/ ----/ --/, --/ ---/ ------/ ---c-/ ---/ ---/ ------/, ------/ -------/!"


EDIT: I should probably have waited for my answer to be confirmed. I guess I have been over-enthusiastic on this one. Sorry about that, I'll try to behave next time.

Well, I guess I should have been quicker to confirm your correct answer; Azaghâl..

Can I have the A's please?

And T for me, please.

maybe an "E"

CATE


"T-e/ -e--/ --/ -e-/ ----/ -a-/ --/ a/ -----/ --a-/, ----e/ a/ --a--/ --e-/ --/, -e/ t-e/ ----e-/ t--ce/ ---/ ---/ -e---t/, -a-te-/ -------/!"

Shouldn't be too hard now, I guess. :)

Yes, I can see it now :)
Gimli speaking:

"The legs of men will lag on a rough road, while a dwarf goes on, be the burden twice his own weight, master Boromir!"

You're right of course. You may proceed now.

Thank you, Azaghâl!

"------/!" (.. .....) "---/ ---------/ --/ ------/. ---/ -----/ --/ ------/. ---/ ------/ ----/ -------/ ---/ -----/. ----/, ----/! ----/ ---/ ---/ ---/ ----/! ---/ ---/ ---/ -----/ ----/ ---/ ---/ ----/! ----/!"

In this thread we use quotes from the Hobbit, the LotR and the Silmarillion ; we have also used quotes from U.T. though not recently...

R please.


So no "Hobbit" here?
