No M's? More's the pity...

Any H's?

Some R's are perhaps useful...

I think this will do it...

Good grief. I can get all but the last word, but no where can I locate it in the book. It's driving me bananas!

I'm so sorry! I messed up the last word! It's supposed to be "h" instead of one of the "e"s. My apologies! :o

"Jumped over the Moon!" chuckled Merry as he rolled himself in his blanket. "Very ridiculous of you, Frodo! But I wish I had been there to see. The worthies of Bree will be discussing it a hundred years hence."

Brilliant. Indeed, it struck me in class last night that it could've been after Merry came back. Well done.

-- Folwren

That's it, Guinevere! :D

Thank you! (the worthies of Bree finally led me to the right spot!)

Frodo to Sam in Shelob's Lair.

It's sheer luck that I found it. I opened my LotR and my bookmark was in that chapter.

Yep, that's it, Folwren! :)
So you and your books are at the same place for once ;) (due to Easter holidays, I guess)

Haha! Yes. Actually, I'm not on Easter Holidays yet...I am in my sister's room, though. But good news - I stole a copy from this house and took to my house, so now I have a copy there, too!

Anyhow, I took advantage of the near proximity of a book and have gotten the next puzzle up.
