Good choice! There are only two, but those give away a very telling word.

"You had better have a pair of wings to prevent any more accidents - now fly off and amuse yourself!"

The man in the moon to Rover, the moon-dog ,after rescueing him from a spider's net ( the moon-dog tells this to Roverandom.)

(Thanks for the help, arcticstorm! :) )

That's it! I thought that "accident" would give it away. Your turn!

Time to revive this thread - no one has posted here since last year! :eek: ;)

Here's the quote, spoken by Farmer Maggot to Tom Bombadil in the Adventures... named after him:

Yep, that's it! Happy New Year to you all, btw! :)

And a very Happy New Year to you too! To keep it from getting boring right at the start, here's another quote to puzzle over:

I'll start the New Year with a cup of T ! :D

"h"s?

Cheers!

How about A ?

I ought to have got it sooner, indeed! :D

It's Niggle (to himself) when he realizes he needs Parish to help him:

" This place cannot be left just as my private park. I need help and advice: I ought to have got it sooner."

Excellent! That's it - and it amused me to think that this thread sometimes feels like a private garden...

:D True, about the "private garden"... but what can we do to attract more participants? :rolleyes: The minor works are not so well known by many, it seems.
Anyhow, if you're not tired of the game yet, here is another palantir to solve:

"---/ -----/ ------/ ----/ ---/ ----/ ---/. ---/ -------/ -------/ -----/ --/ ---/ -----/, ---/ -------/ --/ -/ -----/ ----/ --/ --- _ ----/ --/ ---/ ----"

Tired of this fun? No way! Let's start this round with the Ns, please.
