HAT NERO

Ah! I thought you'd missed out n's but I've got it now.

"Is it the custom in your land to wash the head before supper?"

One of the soldiers of Ithilien to Sam when they've been captured by Faramir.

Legate of Amon Lanc 11-04-2012 04:13 AM

Of course, of course :) Well done. Your turn!

(What N's did you think I missed?)

Kath 11-04-2012 04:39 PM

I thought the last word should be 'dinner' so n's would have been missing there. Then worked out the rest of it and figured out ... supper!

"Don't despair!" said Strider. "You must trust me now. Your Frodo is made of sterner stuff than I had guessed, though Gandalf hinted that it might prove so. He is not slain, and I think he will resist the evil power of the wound longer than his enemies expect. I will do all I can to help and heal him. Guard him well, while I am away!"

Strider to Sam, after the attack of the Black Riders on Weathertop.

Kath 11-06-2012 05:25 PM

Correct! All yours Guinevere.

Guinevere 11-08-2012 01:52 PM

"Here is the heart of Elvendom on earth," Aragorn said, "and here my heart dwells ever, unless there be a light beyond the dark roads that we still must tread, you and I. Come with me!"

Quote:

"Here's the old villain with his head on a jug! He's been having a little feast all to himself and his friend the captain."
Who would think that these are Elves talking! In the halls of the Woodelven King (aka Thranduil), about Galion, the butler. (Luckily I was just rereading The Hobbit:D )

Aganzir 11-15-2012 11:03 AM

Yes, they surprise me every time I read it. I hope Peter Jackson will include them. Anyway, your turn, Guinevere!

MCRmyGirl4eva 11-16-2012 02:08 PM

I absolutely love that quote. Every time I read it, I laugh. I could never picture somebody in Rivendell saying something like that, even though they seem so lighthearted in The Hobbit.
