Ah,what a shame.

http://www.myrias.de/Templates/Portal/images/idea.gif Now I suddenly can "see" it!

"Hither shall the flowers of Symbelmynë come never unto world's end" he murmured "nine mounds and seven there are now green with grass, and through all the long ears he has lain at the door that he could not unlock."

Aragorn in the Paths of the Dead

Wow! I am impressed. I thought i would take another letter or two. Well done! It is years though...not ears :D

Thank you,Mithalwen!:) (and sorry for the typo)
The letter "U" was useful after all, it helped me guess "unto world's end" . I also suspected that the second word was "shall", and after trying out several possibilities for the first word, suddenly "hither" popped up from my unconscious, and then I recognized the quote.

OK, here is the next one:

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

'A' word for starter

"---/ ---/ --/ --/ -a--/ --/ ---/ ---/, a--/ ---------/ ----/ a--/ ---/ -a----/ --------/."

D please, Guinevere

Eee's pleese! ;)

ADE

"--e/ -e-/ --/ --e/ -a--/ d-/ ---/ --e/, a-d/ --e-e---e/ --e-/ a-e/ ---/ ea----/ de-e--ed/."

R please

READ

"--e/ -e-/ --/ --e/ -ar-/ d-/ ---/ --e/, a-d/ --ere--re/ --e-/ are/ ---/ ea----/ de-e--ed/."

I think I have worked out the quote but I don't have LOTR on me and can't place the quote (bad Tolkienista!) without it off the top of my head. Is it "The men of the Mark do not lie, and therefore they are not easily deceived?" which is probably Eomer or possibly Aragorn or Faramir describing them...

Yep, that's the quote, and it's Eomer who says it allright! Well done,Mithalwen!:)

Thank you. So let's try another.

"--- / -- / ---- / --- / -- / --- / --- / ---/ ----- /; --- / -- / ---'- / -- / ---- / -- / ------- / ---/ -------- /. "

Are there any O's?

Thank you. So let's try another.

"--- / -- / ---- / -o- / -- / --- / --- / ---/ ----- /; --- / -- / -o-'- / -- / -o-- / -- / ------- / ---/ -------- /. "
Two err three!

I'd say "S"..

SO

"--- / -- / ---- / -o- / -- / --- / --- / ---/ ----- /; --- / -- / -o-'- / -- / -o-- / -- / s------ / ---/ -------- /. "


Just the one. welcome to the game and the Downs.

'r' plz.

ROS

"--- / -- / ---- / -o- / -- / -r- / --- / ---/ ---r- /; --- / -- / -o-'- / -- / -o-- / -- / s------ / ---/ -------- /. "



Just two...

N please

SUN OR


"-u- / -- / ---- / -o- / -- / -r- / -n- / ---/ ---r- /; -n- / -- / -on'- / -- / -on- / -- / s----n- / -n-/ ---n--n- /. "

"T"s, please.

NO RUST


"-ut / -- / ---- / -ot/ t- / tr- / -n- / --t/ t--r- /; -n- / -t / -on't/ -- / -on- / -- / s-tt-n- / -n-/ t--n--n- /. "

This may be decisive..

'd' plz

RUNTS DO


"-ut / -- / ---- / -ot/ t- / tr- / -nd/ --t/ t--r- /; -nd / -t / -on't/ -- / don- / -- / s-tt-n- / -nd / t--n--n- /. "

Sorry added a missing o too...:(

STRONG BUD

"But / -- / ---- / got/ to/ tr- / -nd/ g-t/ t--r- /; -nd / -t / -on't/ b- / don- / b- / s-tt-ng / -nd / t--n--ng/. "

Well, I see the quote now, but no idea (yet) where to look for it! :confused:

Oh Guinevere, you are so good at this , I tried to find you a challenge... I don't think I woud know it if I hadn't set it, sorry.

"e"s, please.

BUT RED SONG

"But / -e/ ---e/ got/ to/ tr- / -nd/ get/ t-ere/; -nd / -t / -on't/ be / done/ b- / s-tt-ng / -nd / t--n--ng/. "

'w' plz

BUT WRONGS ED

"But / we/ ---e/ got/ to/ tr- / -nd/ get/ t-ere/; -nd / -t / won't/ be / done/ b- / s-tt-ng / -nd / t--n--ng/. "

Found it at last, in an unlikely place, after much searching in wrong places...;)

"But we have got to try and get there; and it won't be done by sitting and thinking."

Frodo, when taking leave of Farmer Maggot, about getting to the ferry in spite of pursuing Black Riders.

Ha! Who would'a thunk it? I was keeping an eye on this thread (though somewhat irregularly, hence my lack of participation), and I was sure it would be the Mordor chapters. I would never have guessed it! Good find!

I thought it sounded more like Sam and Oroduin which is why I chose it!
