Guinevere 09-09-2005 08:43 AM

7 N's for Esty :)

-/ --nt/ ----/ -n-/ ----/ -n-/ --n--/ --/ ---/ -n-/ ---/ --n-/ -----n-/ ----!

Estelyn Telcontar 09-09-2005 01:07 PM

Got it!

I want fire and gold and songs of old and red wine flowing free!
I'll second the Man in the Moon's request! ;)

Guinevere 09-09-2005 01:44 PM

Correct!
 
:eek: Wow! You've already found it - with only the N's and one T!! http://www.travar.de/~allskins/Webpr.../notworthy.gif

Estelyn Telcontar 09-09-2005 01:52 PM

The Ns were a lucky choice - they showed me lots of "and"s, which was the decisive clue.

A new one:
Quote:

- ------'- -- --------- ---, - ----,' ... '--- --- ---- ----, -'- ----.'
Sounds like real life much of the time...

Guinevere 09-09-2005 02:16 PM

A's please

Estelyn Telcontar 09-09-2005 02:19 PM

A ...but we has only one...
 
- ------'- -- --------- ---, - ----,' ... '--- a-- ---- ----, -'- ----.'

Guinevere 09-09-2005 03:25 PM

:( let's have the good old T's then!

- ----t-'t t- --t-----t ---, - ----,' ... '--- a-- ---- ----, -'- ----.'

Guinevere 09-10-2005 01:39 PM

Very unoriginal, I know, but could you add the S's please?

Estelyn Telcontar 09-10-2005 02:42 PM

"I oughtn't to interrupt you, I know," said Parish (to Niggle) "You are very busy, I'm sure."

Estelyn Telcontar 09-11-2005 05:15 AM

Very good, and with so few letters! You consistently astonish me, Guinevere! Pray proceed.

Guinevere 09-12-2005 07:01 AM

Not so astonishing: you have used this same quote before, some time ago! ;)
So it was easier to recognize now, once I had figured out the first and last words...

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

Estelyn Telcontar 09-12-2005 07:08 AM

Oh dear, I must be getting old and forgetful... ;)

Anyway, let's have some Ts, please!

Guinevere 09-12-2005 01:01 PM

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

Estelyn Telcontar 09-12-2005 01:07 PM

Almost as inevitable - S, please.

Tuor in Gondolin 09-12-2005 03:20 PM

The return of Tuor! :eek:

Ah, it's Chrysophylax speaking to Farmer Giles of Ham:
Quote:

'If you will leave me what remains,' said he very wily, 'I'll be your friend forever. And I will carry all this treasure back to your honour's own house and not to the King's. And I wil help you to keep it, what is more,' said he.

Guinevere 09-13-2005 02:39 PM

Jep, that's it.

Estelyn Telcontar 09-14-2005 06:14 AM

Good advice?
Quote:

--- ---- -- --- --- ---'- -- - ----! (.....) --- ----- ---- --- -- --- -------. ----- -- -- ---- -- ------- ---- - --- ----; ----'-- ---- --- ----, ---- ------ ------ -- --------.
A long one, granted, but too good to cut short!

Guinevere 09-14-2005 02:15 PM

Are there any O's ?

Estelyn Telcontar 09-15-2005 01:52 AM

O yes!

"Get back to bed and don't be a fool!" said his wife, "And drown that dog in the morning. There is no call to believe what a dog says; they'll tell any tale, when caught truant or thiefing."
the formidable Agatha to her husband, Farmer Giles.
(The second advice she gives him is much better than that one, though! ;) )

Estelyn Telcontar 09-16-2005 04:12 PM

Yes, I agree - but these sentences tickled my fancy! You're next...

Guinevere 09-17-2005 09:57 AM

Thanks!
The next quote is probably not applicable today, since I am so late in posting...

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