All right, let's kick this off. Gimme some A's, please!

A

'--/ -a--/ ----/ a--/ ---/ ----/ ------/, ---/ a----/ a------/. --/ -----/ a-----/ ----/ a/ ---a-/ --a-/ -a-/ ------/ -a---/.'

Hurray!! :) I had feared I'd never get to play my favourite riddle game again, and am ever so happy to be here again!

M please

chEEEEEEEEEEEse please! ;)

Gimme a T!

MATE (is delicious and I still have some blood orange mate we got from Pitchwife in 2011 and I've been drinking it all week because I've stayed up too late.)

'-e/ -a-e/ -e-t/ a--/ t-e/ -e-t/ -e----/, --e/ a-te-/ a--t-e-/. -t/ -eem-/ a-m--t/ ---e/ a/ --eam/ t-at/ -a-/ ------/ -a-e-/.'

^Glad to hear that!:) Also some H's, if you don't mind.

MATEH

'-e/ ha-e/ -e-t/ a--/ the/ -e-t/ -eh---/, --e/ a-te-/ a--the-/. -t/ -eem-/ a-m--t/ ---e/ a/ --eam/ that/ ha-/ ------/ -a-e-/.'

You almost have THAMES, so I'll ask for S.

And you shall have it
 

THAMES

'-e/ ha-e/ -e-t/ a--/ the/ -est/ -eh---/, --e/ a-te-/ a--the-/. -t/ seems/ a-m-st/ ---e/ a/ --eam/ that/ has/ s-----/ -a-e-/.'

"We have left all the rest behind, one after another. It seems almost like a dream that has slowly faded."
Merry at the end of Homeward Bound (LOTR Book Six Chapter VII).

So sorry for the delay! Some Downers came over and I completely forgot about this. You're right, of course!

No problem, thought as much. :)

'----/ --------/ ----/ --/ , ---/ -/ -------/ ---/ --/ -------/ ---/ ----/ . ---/ -/ --------/ ---/ --/ -----/ ----/ -/ ----/ ---/ ---- .'

Are there any O's?

Sure there are.

'----/ --------/ -oo-/ --/ , ---/ -/ -------/ o--/ o-/ --o----/ ---/ ----/ . ---/ -/ --------/ ---/ o-/ -o---/ ----/ -/ ----/ -o-/ ---- .'

Any T's?

TO

'T---/ --------/ too-/ --/ , ---/ -/ -t-----/ o-t/ o-/ t-o---t/ ---/ t---/ , ---/ -/ --------/ ---/ o-/ -o---/ t--t/ -/ ----/ -ot/ t--- .'

No bad choices so far, if I may say so. Also apologies for mistyping a period for a comma in the last two posts.

H please

HOT

"Then I strayed out of thought and time, and I wandered far on roads that I will not tell"

Gandalf, recounting his fight with the Balrog to Aragorn, Legolas & Gimli

Actually "Then darkness took me, and I strayed out of thought and time, and I wandered far on roads that I will not tell", but yeah, that's it! Over to you, Guinevere.

:( Oops, I had the whole quote written on a scrap of paper, and somehow forgot the beginning when typing it. Anyhow, it was "out of thought and time" that I recognized.

OK, here is the next one:

"-----/ ----/, ---/," "--/ ---'-/ ---/ --/, ----/ --/, --/ --------/? --/. --/ ---'-/ ---/ --/, ---/ ---/ ------/ ------/ -----/ ----/ --/ -------/, -----/."

I'd like to buy some E, please.

E

"----e/ ---e/, -e-/," "--/ ---'-/ -ee/ --/, ----/ --/, --/ --e-----/? --/. --/ ---'-/ -ee/ --/, ---/ ---/ ------/ -----e/ -----/ ----/ -e/ --e-e--/, ----e/."

We can haz S'es, my preciousss?

ES

"----e/ s--e/, -es/," "--/ ---'-/ see/ -s/, ----/ --/, --/ --e----s/? --/. --/ ---'-/ see/ -s/, ---/ --s/ --ss--/ -----e/ s----/ ----/ -e/ -se-ess/, ----e/."

Sorry, Pitchwife.
 

"Quite safe, yes," [Gollum] whispered to himself. "It won't see us, will it, my precious? No. It won't see us, and its nasty little sword will be useless, yes quite."

That's it!
 

Well done, Folwren!

Thank'ee kindly.

‘---/ ---/ ---/ -----/ ---! --/ ---/ --/ --/ -----/ ------. -----,’ … ‘-/ -----/ -/ -----/ -----/ ---/ --/ ----/ ----/ --/ ---/ ---/ --/ ----/ ----.’

Let's start with the A's

A

‘---/ ---/ a--/ -----/ ---! A-/ ---/ a-/ --/ -----/ ----a-. -----,’ … ‘-/ -a---/ -/ -----/ --a--/ ---/ --/ ----/ --a-/ --/ -a-/ ---/ --/ ----/ -a--.’

I am leaving for a long trip today and won't be able to be on the Barrow Downs for a few weeks likely. So someone ought to take this thread. Sorry.

I can't take over, because I too will leave for a holiday of 4 weeks. I will probably have Internet access, but not my Tolkien books.

Hello Folwren, your trip (and my holidays) being over, it would be nice to continue the game! If you remember your quote, that is ;)

Hm. K....let me see.

Yep, I have it saved, so I'm good to continue the game. :)

T please
