You've got it! :smokin:

And I thought I was being so clever- "No-one will be expecting another "Hobbit" quote," I said to myself...:o

Your turn!

Now, there's a good use for those new spare spare spare books I picked up recently.

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

With pleasure. I read that part of LR recently, so I had a bit of an advantage. I'll never get the quote from a single letter, though, as G55 did earlier.

OR

Eärendil? Await me here; for one only , may bring the message that is my fate to bear.

The Squatter of Amon Rûdh 10-10-2017 03:54 AM

The very same

Mithalwen 10-29-2017 01:49 PM

Finally I have wifi and a book and a quote:

Guinevere 10-30-2017 09:57 AM

Nerwen 11-04-2017 08:31 PM

Mith, did you by any chance quote from memory? Because I *think* it's this:

"Though as pretty a maidchild as any one could hope for, taking after Rose more than me, luckily."
-Sam, "The Grey Havens".

But in that case it looks like your version must have "any one" as one word, and "wish" for "hope". Or is this a difference between editions of LotR? (I'm going by the 1991 Harper Collins edition).

*blushes* I didn't quote from memory but I did fill in the esses from memory and substited wish for hope. I was working from the Kindle edition as nearly all my books are still in store (hoping to exchange any day, please Eru). In that anyone is one word. It is the fiftieth anniversary edition that attempted to has attempted to correct errors that crept in typesetting and digitalisation and sometimes for consistency. There is a lengthy note on it all. So half my error half my edition.

Nerwen 11-05-2017 10:07 PM

Nevermind, I was just curious. Anyway-

"--/ --/ ----/ ----/ -----/ -/ ----/ -----/ ---/ -----/ --/ ----/ ------/. ---/ ----/ ----/ ---/ ----/ -------------/?"

Mithalwen 11-06-2017 03:53 AM

The main error was having the capital letter really. Anyway, given the single letter I may as well go for A please.

Nerwen 11-06-2017 05:50 AM

A

"--/ --/ ----/ ----/ -----/ -/ -a--/ --a--/ ---/ -----/ --/ ----/ ---a--/. ---/ ----/ -a--/ ---/ ----/ -a-----------/?"

Mithalwen 11-07-2017 08:38 AM

Interesting. I, then please.

Nerwen 11-07-2017 09:11 PM

AI

"I-/ i-/ ----/ -i--/ -i---/ I/ -a--/ --a--/ ---/ -----/ --/ ----/ ---a--/. ---/ ----/ -a--/ ---/ ----/ -a--------i--/?"
