"There's going to be no fun, I tell you," said Shagrat. "And he's got to be kept safe, or we're all as good as dead."

You got it! Single-handedly without even the help of your E's!

"- / ---- / ----- / -------- /, --- /," said [someone]. "--- / ---- / ----- / --- / --- / --- /."


Blame the last one on the hacking. :D:rolleyes::p

E's...hahahaha

E

"- / ---e / ----e / ------e- /, --- /," said [someone]. "--e / ---- / ---e- / --e / --- / --- /."



:D:D:D

Just to think that one letter can be the source of so much mirth!

A's now.

I know, it's quite amusing.

EA!

"I / have / quitte / finished /, Sam /," said [someone]. "the / last / pages / are / for / you /."

Frodo to Sam, about finishing the Red Book of Westmarch.

That's correct! :)

Here's one, it might puzzle for a bit.

O's please!

Half of it is en elvish. That's hardly fair. ;)

"Elen sila lumenn omentielvo, a star shines on the hour of our meeting."

Frodo to Gildor in Three is Company.

(Sorry, Galadriel, for butting in after not guessing any letters. :o)

Correct. Hey, your mother never told you life isn't fair. :D
And you have to cut Gildor some slack, after his big scene
was cut from the movie FoTR.

I thought "star", probably preceded with "A" and from
them deducing "shines" might give it away.

Actually, it was 'our meeting' that got the wheels rolling for me. That and "a star." :)

Here's the next one.

"----/ ---/ ----/ ------/ ----/! ----/ ----'-/ ----/ ----/ -------/ --/. ----/ ----/! -----/ ----/ ----/ ---/ ---/ ----/ ------/ --!"

Foley, I dont see any legit reason for an apology. :);)

Bad(ish) news, folks. I leave tomorrow for a ten day holiday, and have no idea if I'll have any internet access while I'm away yet. So if no one has guessed this by the time I leave in the morning, and it has been determined tha I will NOT have internet, I will give the quote and someone else will do the next puzzle.

A's please.

Don't worry. RL happens. :)
