Well done you two, Unfinished Tales is a favourite of mine [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]

Guinevere it's your turn [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

BTW guys I'm off on holidays for 3 weeks in the morning, I doubt I'll be in until I get back. Can you let any of the outstanding quiz/quote threads know so no one gets upset? Thanks. Have fun [img]smilies/rolleyes.gif[/img]

Gwaihir the Windlord 06-24-2003 02:31 AM

Good god, I very much doubt I'll ever have a go at answering one of these. The amount of research that you'd need to do must be huge; unless the quote is a really obvious one, which it probably never is.

Anyway go on.

Guinevere 06-24-2003 01:29 PM

Well, Gwaihir, since Gilraën is on holidays now, other people have a chance now too!
My next "palantir" is not such a hard one.. [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img] It's from LotR, and it's from a poem (song)

After looking through a few hudred pages I think I found it...
It goes like...

"When evening in the Shire was grey
his footsteps on the Hill were heard;
before the down he went away
on journey long without a word."

There are more worses tough...

That's correct, Novnarwen! [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]
How on earth could you find that out without even one letter ?? [img]smilies/eek.gif[/img] (I mean, there weren't any conspicuous hyphens, exclamation-marks or so...)
Anyhow, it's your turn now! (Well-earned [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img] )

Guinevere 06-25-2003 02:50 PM

E's , please! And can you tell us, what (-) means - are they hyphens? [img]smilies/rolleyes.gif[/img]

Orofaniel 06-25-2003 02:52 PM

Any N's please?

Novnarwen 06-25-2003 03:01 PM

"---/ ------/ -e/ -e---/ -/ ----/ --/ --e-/ -e--n-,/ ----/ ------?/ --/ --e/ ---ne(-)----/ -----,/ --en/ -e/ -----/ ---e/ n-/ -e---n---./ --/ --/ --/ ---e-,/ --en/ --e/ ---(-)----/ ---e--/ ----/ -e/ ---/ ---./ --/ ---/ --e/ --------,/ ---n(-)----(-)---n,/ --en/ -e/ ----/ ---e/ ---/ ----/ -e----/, -n-/ ---/ -----/ ---e/ --e/ ---en-----/ --/ --e/ ----/ ---/ e-e-. "

E's and N's are added...

I'm sorry... the: (-) is a hyphen, yes it is... hehe...I didn't know how to do it otherwise... so... it became (-)... Hope it's alright..

Quote:

For though we leave a host of foes behind, what matter? If the Stone-city falls, then we shall have no returning. If it is saved, then the orc-host itself will be cut off.If you are faithful, Ghan-buri-Ghan, then we will give you rich reward, and you shall have the friendship of the Mark for ever
Spoken by Theoden.

(btw, I wouldn't have needed any letters, right after I asked you about the hyphens, I saw that the word with the two hyphens could only be Ghan-buri-Ghan. I just went upstairs to check in the book [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img] )

I think I've got it:

Quote:

"For though we leave a host of foes behind, what matter? If the Stone-city falls, then we shall have no returning. If it is saved, then the orc-host itself will be cut off. If you are faithful Ghan-buri-Ghan, then we will give you rich reward, and you shall have the frienship of the Mark forever."

Wow, Guinevere....seconds behind you. Well done

Thank you, Novnarwen. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img] Sorry, Eruanna [img]smilies/frown.gif[/img] [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]
I hope you don't mind if I post the next one only tomorrow, it's 11.30p.m. here and my husband is grumbling because I never come to bed [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]

Guinevere 06-26-2003 08:01 AM

I guess I should have posted it right away with all the E's, since that is always asked first anyway... [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

btw, Orofaniel, may I ask you if you live in Europe or the USA ? Inquisitively yours, Guinevere

Novnarwen 06-26-2003 10:17 AM

May I have any N's??

*Nova* [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

Orofaniel 06-26-2003 10:23 AM

Any H's?

Oh, yes, you may ask! [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img] But I wonder why you want to know....... Is it my profile perhaps?

@ Orofaniel: I was just looking at the times, when people are posting. Because of the time-difference, I am usually in bed when Barrowdowners from the U.S. start posting. But if you want to keep your "lands of the North" a secret, it's ok.

Well, I'll think i'll keep "lands of the North" a secret, just a little while longer. Perhaps you'll know some day, if you haven't figured it out yet... [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

By the way, may I have any A's, please?

Now you might see what it is [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img] This Quote is also in the Movie, but spoken by a different person in a different place and time than in the book.

Orofaniel 06-27-2003 02:24 PM

Any B's? [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

Eruanna 06-27-2003 03:06 PM

I think this is it, from the Appendices:

Quote:

A great doom awaits you, either to rise above the height of all your fathers since the days of Elendil, or to fall into darkness with all that is left of your kin.
Elrond speaking to Aragorn.

Guinevere 06-28-2003 01:07 PM

That's right, Eruanna, well done! [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]
(btw in the movie it's Galadriel who says this, but instead of "doom" it's "choice" there)

Eruanna 06-28-2003 01:58 PM

Thanks. Here's a new one.....an extract from quite a long speech:

Quote:

"--/---/-----/----/--/---/-----/-------,/----/-----/-/-----/----- -----/--/----------,/----/---/----/------/--."
Good luck [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

Certainly [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

Quote:

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

Novnarwen 06-28-2003 02:04 PM

I hope there are some N's too... [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]
