More good choices. But am I being too obscure, here?

And no you're not being too obscure. It's funner when they go on longer.

http://www.myrias.de/Templates/Elrond/images/idea.gif another UT quote!
Isildur to his son Elendur in The Disaster of the Gladden Fields

You have it, milady! By any chance did the rather obvious "Keepers of the Three" give it away? :)

Thank you, Ibri! :)
(I looked first at the beginning and guessed "I cannot ? it. I dread the ? of touching it." Then I saw the "keepers of the Three" and it was obvious)

Well, here is the next quote:

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

S's please

O for me.

N, please.

L's for Lindale!~

"Thus we meet again, though all the hosts of Mordor lay between us," [said Aragorn.] "Did I not say so at the Hornburg?"

Aragorn to Éomer, upon meeting during the battle of the Pellenor. I'd considered that a while ago. :D

Yes, that's it, Ibri ! I guess the Hornburg was a give-away...

Actually, it was "again," and the fact that I'd considered using that quote a while back. :) On with the game, then....

Truly, water is become now fairer than my heart imagined, neither had my secret thought conceived the snowflake, nor in all my music was contained the falling of the rain. I will seek Manwe, that he and I may make melodies for ever to thy delight.

Hopefully I got them all.

I always go to this thread and guess one letter, then by the time I get back to it, it is solved.

Anyway, T, please.

Won't be hard to miss it with Guinevere around.
