I think I've got it!
 
"I can't be always carrying burglars on my back," said Dori "down tunnels and up trees! What do you think I am? A porter?"

The Hobbit, Chapter 6. It's when Bilbo, Gandalf and the dwarves are trying to take refuge up a tree from the Wargs, and Nori told Dori that he'd left Bilbo behind again. :)

Guinevere 08-26-2010 02:33 PM

No other takers? Then I cannot resist:

"Your bearing is lowly in my presence, yet it is long now since you turned from your own way at my counsel."

Denethor to your namesake Faramir

Folwren 08-31-2010 02:30 PM

I wanted to try to figure it out, but I didn't have any time to sit down and do it. Next puzzle, I guess, maybe I'll have a moment.

Faramir Jones 08-31-2010 03:31 PM

Well done!
 
Quite right, Guinevere!

It's nice to know that I really made some people scratch their heads about that one!:D
