Appologies for delayed reply. R,E and N's:

---t/-n/tr---/t---/T--n-/--/-/--nnot/--t/--e--;
--t/-o-e/-e-r-oo-/o-/-o--r/-n-/-er--/-t/---t/-e.

Can you see what is yet?

Guinevere 01-22-2013 08:05 AM

http://www.myrias.de/Templates/Portal/images/idea.gif I can see it, although you forgot a t in the third word, and I was puzzled by the capital T of the fifth word!

D'oh! I knew I'd missed one letter but didn't pick up on the second. One thing drives out another, as they say.

Over to you m'lady

Guinevere 01-23-2013 04:56 PM

Bilbo thinking of Smaug as he rolls over to show off his armor:

"Old fool! Why there is a large patch in the hollow of his left breast as bare a snail out of his shell!"

Guinevere 01-25-2013 09:25 AM

Well done, Ardent! With only two letters - that's really amazing.

It was the exclamation marks gave me a clue, like the capital letter must have helped you last time.
Try this one:

---/------/----/-----/--/---/-----/---/----/--/-/-----/----/----/--/---/-----/-----.

Aganzir 01-25-2013 04:37 PM

A please!

Ardent 01-25-2013 05:54 PM

Starting with A...

---/-a----/--a-/-----/--/---/-----/a--/----/--/a/-----/--a-/----/--/---/-----/a----.

Guinevere 01-27-2013 03:25 AM

Ardent 01-28-2013 07:22 AM

Well done again. I was going to put the text in two lines as in the book but didn't want to make it too easy. I take it the capital letter gave the game away once more.
Over to you.

Guinevere 01-29-2013 03:38 PM
