You are correct Guinevere, your turn.

Aragorn to Pippen or Merry in the chapter Flotsom and Jetsom when one of them says "Strider is back!" while they are relaxing outside of Isengard.

Quite right, Tinuviel ! please proceed!

Hmmm... shouted _____

That wouldn't be Sam, would it?

That is correct but I believe it says at the begining of this thread that you must also say where and why they said it.

Crossing my fingers here...It's when Gollum runs off when Faramir and his men are coming, you know, in Ithilien. Right?

sorry, but wrong answer.

GR!!! [img]smilies/mad.gif[/img] I so thought that was right! Okay, lemme think... AHA!! When they are in the Emyn Muil, and Gollum runs off to find something to eat. *mutters to self* "please say I'm right this time!"

Never fear you are correct this time [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img] !

YAY!!! [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img] Okay, here's mine:

"Faithful heart may have froward tongue."

Good luck.

Théoden

To be exact, Theoden says this about Eomer to Gandalf, in "the King of the Golden Hall"

btw: did Tolkien make up this or is it a real proverb in England? It sounds so genuine...

I was exact.

I was 'strictly and completely in accord with fact; not deviating from truth or reality.'

I am sorry, I didn't mean to offend you, Legolas! [img]smilies/eek.gif[/img]

"exact" wasn't the right word, ok. I just couldn't resist posting additional information (which usually is required, I thought), since I knew this quote so well (I am collecting "proverbs" from Tolkien's books [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img] )
Of course it is your turn, not mine.

heh, it's okay [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img] No offense taken! Just clarifying.

Sapphire_Flame?

Legolas got it. Very good!

Your turn, sir. [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

That is Legolas to Aragorn (and Gimli) while they are pursuing the orcs that have captured Merry and Pippin.

Yes!

Ok, I cheated and looked it up, but I had no idea. It was Frodo to Sam after he saw that the statue of the king had a crown of flowers. [img]smilies/tongue.gif[/img]

I knew this one and I had been looking at this thread just before the question had actually been posted, so how on earth did I miss seeing it in the last 9 days?

Correct, Beren! Please proceed.

Treebeard says it to Merry and Pippin after the Ent Song "That is how it goes".

Correct!

Thanks [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

is that aragorn?

Gimli??

I agree with sami...
Doesn't Aragorn say that when Frodo and Sam have left the company, Boromir is dead and the two other hobbits are taken by the orcs?

Then he gathers Legolas, Gimli and himself and says...
Well first one of them says: "The fellowship has failed."
And then Aragorn says: "Not if we hold together."
Wait.... he doesn't say that... he says:" Not if we keep true to eachother..."


This was only a wild guess... eh

Oh dear!

I have screwed up... again....*blushes*

TTT quotes... okey then... I was wrong... Then I think it is one of the hobbits in Fangorn, or Legolas.....

*Nova* [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]

It was Legolas, your turn [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

Okey.. here I go...

It's from the book, I hope that's okey, if not... let me know. [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img] Wchic connection does this person say it? And of whom?

Good luck by the way.... [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

Was it Gimli about the 'old man' (Gandalf/Saruman)?

I´m just adding something here... it was Gimli, but he said it when he first saw Saruman, and was comparing him to Gandalf...but gilraen can go! [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

Manardariel I only got it half right, you go, your answer was complete [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

Oh, thanks! [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]
sooo, TTT....try this:

Was it Pippin when he was going to leave Merry for a little while, when he was going to Minas Tirith with Gnadalf?? [img]smilies/frown.gif[/img]
