Haven't had the luck of noticing it before - me usually starting with UCP and working through 'subscribed threads'. Now this one is on the list too :)

So, next one runs as follows:

Quote:

-/----/----,‘--/-----/---,/’------/----,/----/--/---/----,/---/------/--/---/---/---/------:/----,/---/----,/---/-----/---/----/---/-----,/----/--/----,/--/---/----/---------.

HerenIstarion 09-29-2004 12:06 PM

My apologies, just noticed - there is one 'space' missing
 
the corrected edition should run as:

A/n---/-and‘/--/-o--d/sa-,/’-r-tt-/--at,/so-t/to/t--/---t,/and/---nt-/to/-at/-or/t--/ta--n-:/-o-s,/-o-/-no-,/and/s----/a--/o--r/t--/--a--,/-as-/to/s-ot,/--/-o-/-oo-/-ar------.

Sorry for inconvenience

Estelyn Telcontar 09-30-2004 12:53 AM

Any "M"s in there?

One question, HI - is this a quote of direct speech?

edit - Oh, I found it! It's the giant in Farmer Giles of Ham:
Quote:

'A nice land,' he would say, 'pretty flat, soft to the feet, and plenty to eat for the taking: cows, you know, and sheep all over the place, easy to spot, if you look carefully.'

HerenIstarion 09-30-2004 01:16 AM

Your guess is correct, my lady :)

Estelyn Telcontar 09-30-2004 01:59 AM

Here's new quote for you:

------ - ------ ----, -----, ---- -- ------ -- ----- -- ---. --- ---- --- ---- -------. --- ---- --- -------.

HerenIstarion 09-30-2004 03:18 AM

some 'E's, please :)

rutslegolas 09-30-2004 03:23 AM

And some "A"s.

Estelyn Telcontar 09-30-2004 06:16 AM

At "E"ase, with "A"s as well...

-e--e- a -----e ----, -a--e, --a- -- -e---- -- -ae-- a- a--. --- ---e --e ---- ------e. --- ---e --e a-a----.

HerenIstarion 09-30-2004 06:23 AM

I like a slice of lemon with my T
 
And 'T's too, (or would not it be Tea for Two rather?) please!

Estelyn Telcontar 09-30-2004 06:34 AM

"T"s for you...

-ette- a --tt-e ----, -a--e, t-a- -- -e---- -- -ae-- at a--. --- ---e t-e ---- ------e. --- ---e t-e a-a----.

HerenIstarion 09-30-2004 06:58 AM

I know it, I know it!
 
Quote:

Better a little doll, maybe, than no memory of Faery at all. For some the only glimpse. For some the awaking
Queen to the Smith :)

Estelyn Telcontar 09-30-2004 07:01 AM

Wow, that was brilliant, HI!! You got it with only three letters - that must be a record! Now you may proceed...

HerenIstarion 09-30-2004 07:13 AM

thank you :)
 
next one:

‘-- ------!’ ‘--- ----- ---- ------- -- ------ --- ----? - --- ---- ------ -----.’

Tuor of Gondolin 09-30-2004 08:48 AM

"t"s?

HerenIstarion 09-30-2004 08:52 AM

T is the most popular letter, it seems...
 
...but in this here case, we have only four...


‘-- ------!’ ‘--- ----- ---- t-----t -- ------ --- ----? - --- ---t ------ ----t.’

Estelyn Telcontar 09-30-2004 12:52 PM

R, please

Tuor of Gondolin 09-30-2004 03:03 PM

"s"s, please.

HerenIstarion 09-30-2004 11:48 PM

another two of the top, but scarce in this sentence :D
 
‘-- ------!’ ‘--- ----- ---- t-----t – s----- --- --r-? - --s --st ------ ----t.’

Estelyn Telcontar 10-01-2004 12:50 AM

N-y Ns?

HerenIstarion 10-01-2004 01:09 AM

Some N's, than
 
‘N- -n----!’ ‘--- ----- ---- t-----t – s---n- --- --r-? - --s --st ----n- ----t.’

Estelyn Telcontar 10-01-2004 01:12 AM

"E"s please?

HerenIstarion 10-01-2004 01:23 AM

your wish is my command
 
‘N- -n-ee-!’ ‘--- ----- ---e t-----t – see-n- --- -ere? - --s --st ----n- ----t.’

*****
edit:

revised and corrected:

‘N- -n-ee-!’ ‘--- ----- ---e t-----t -- see-n- --- -ere? - --s --st ----n- ----t.’

two letters instead of one (underlined), sorry for inconvenience

end of edit

Tuor of Gondolin 10-01-2004 07:55 AM

HerenIstarion 10-01-2004 12:33 PM

Yes, of course
 
No -n-ee-!’ ‘--o -o--- ---e t-o---t o- see-n- -o- -ere? - --s --st ----n- --o-t.’

Tuor of Gondolin 10-01-2004 02:54 PM

HerenIstarion 10-02-2004 02:15 AM

here we go
 
No -n-ee-!’ ‘--o -o--- ---e t-o---t o- see-n- yo- -ere? - --s --st --y-n- --o-t.’
