A good thing I am just listening to the LotR Audiobook again! :D

"---/, ---/" said ......., " ---/ -----/ --/ --/ ---/ ----/ ---/ --/ ---/ -----/. ---/ ----/ ---/ -----/ ---/ ----/ ---/ --/ ---/ -----/: ----/ ----/ ----/ --------/ ----/ ----/."

I will try n pleas.

A good start!

"N--/, n--/" said ......., " ---/ -n---/ --/ -n/ ---/ ----/ n--/ -n/ ---/ -----/. ---/ ----/ ---/ -----/, ---/ ----/ --n/ --/ ---/ -----/: ----/ ----/ ----/ --------/ ----/ ----/."

"o"s, please.

NO

"N--/, n--/" said ......., " ---/ -n---/ --/ on/ ---/ -o--/ no-/ -n/ ---/ -----/. -o-/ ----/ ---/ -o---/, ---/ ----/ --n/ o-/ ---/ -oo--/: ----/ ----/ ----/ -o------/ --o-/ ----/."

L please.

"Y"s?

LYON

"N-y/, n-y/" said ......., " ---/ -n--y/ --/ on/ ---/ -o--/ no-/ -n/ ---/ --ll-/. Yo-/ ----/ ---/ -o---/, ---/ --l-/ --n/ o-/ ---/ -oo--/: ----/ ----/ --l-/ -o------/ --o-/ ----/."

Slightly left field but there are limited options for the double o ..the less likely K please.

"M"s, please.

R please thank you very much!

LYON KMR

"N-y/, n-y/" said ......., " ---/ -n-my/ --/ on/ ---/ ro--/ no-/ -n/ ---/ --ll-/. Yo-/ ---r/ ---/ -o---/, ---/ --l-/ m-n/ o-/ ---/ -oo--/: ----/ ----/ --lk/ -o-----r/ -rom/ ---r/."

This is one of my favourite minor characters ...and for me, one of the glories of Tolkien is that he can make the minor characters so vivid..and I happen to have read this bit very recently.

"Nay, nay," said Elfhelm, 'the enemy is on the road not in the hills. You hear the Woses, the Wild Men of the woods: thus they talk together from afar'

That's it!
 

I agree about Tolkien's minor characters! For me , the fun of this game is to browse through the books and find quotes I love.

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

R please!

R
"--/ -- / ---- / ----- , /--- / --- /----- / ---- / r--- / -- / --- / --- / -- / --,/--- / -- /---- / ---r--- / ---r/ ---r--- /----rr--."

"L's, please.

How about an O?

ROL
"--/ -- / -o-- / --l-- , /--- / -o- /---ll / ---- / r--- / -- / --- / --- / -- / --,/--- / -- /--ll / --or--- / -o-r/ -o-r--- /-o--rro-"

how about W?

R OWL
"--/ -- / -o-- / --l-- , /--- / -o- /---ll / ---- / r--- / -- / --- / --- / -- / --,/--- / -- /w-ll / --or--- / -o-r/ -o-r--- /-o--rrow"[/QUOTE]

S?

"i"s?

RIM OWLS
"I-/ is/ som- / mil-s, /--- / -o- /s--ll / ---- / r-s- / -- / --- / --- / -- / i-,/--- / -- /will / s-or--- / -o-r/ -o-r--- /-omorrow"

A missed o added also

"M"s, please.

Sorry I got muddled and edited instead of quoted..

It should probably be guessable, but I'm lazy, so let's ask for some T!

"e"s, please.

"It/ is/ some / miles, /--t/ -o- /s--ll / ---e / rest/ -t / t-e / e-- / -- / it,/--- / -t/will / s-orte- / -o-r/ -o--r-e- to- orrow"

TOWEL RIMS

"y"s, please.

"It is some miles, --t/ -o- /s--ll / ---e / rest/ -t / t-e / e-- / -- / it,/--- / -t/will / s-orte- / yo-r/ -o-r-ey tomorrow"

MIRY OWLETS
Oop just noticed a missed letter and an adrift one ..sorry

Gildor

I had it figured out for a while but I was too lazy to check the exact wording until now.

It is indeed. Over to you.

Sorry for the delay! Here's the next one:

H please Aganzir

"T"s, please.

TH

--t/ -------/ ---/ ---/ -------/! --t/ ---/ --t--/ ---/ ----/, ---/ ----/ --/ th---/; ---/ --/ ----/ --/ ------/ ------/ h------/, ---/ -/ ---t/ -----/ ------/ ---th/.
