Backwards quotes
I am never gonna be able to break into the one that's on here, unless someone doesn't post...so...
See, sister! These are duller than thy feet. Fail but twice more to restore my place and the hatred of my mother and surely it will add to the Vanyar one who seeks to be the servant of kings. |
It is Feanor threating Fingolfin, right?
I think I understand the system. |
Yeah, you got it. There is a thread similar to this one, but I will never break into it...so I made my own!
|
Alright, new quote then:
Give this Ring, for you will have great happiness and be free of care, and it will support you in nothing and let you be weary. |
I know that this one has already been answered, but I just want to write the correct quote also.
Quote:
For the next quote, Quote:
Take now this ring for thy labors and thy cares will be heavy, but it will support thee and defend thee from weariness. |
You are correct, Joy, but you probably knew that already. [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]
Please proceed. |
Joy? are you there?
|
Hey guys, lost this topic for a while. I was out sick for a time. I'll give a post later tonight, unless someone else wants a go.
|
I'll go.

Is it really that hard? It's in Fellowship, if that helps.
|
I found it, Susan - yes, that clue narrowed down the possibilities! It was Frodo; here is the original quote:
Quote:
|
You got it [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]
|
OK, this one shouldn't be too hard:
Quote:

This quote has been up a week with no takers - I'll give a hint in hopes of encouraging some brave soul. The key word is "queen's iron" - think of the thinnest form of metal you know as the opposite of iron. And the opposite of queen should be obvious...

I don't think so, Rimbaud; I think it's Aragorn to Ioreth. "And now, dame, if you love the Lord Faramir, run as quick as your tongue and get me kingsfoil, if there is a leaf in the city."
Run as quick as your tongue. [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img] Aragorn doesn't get nearly the credit for his humor that he should. |
*Estelyn applauds* You got it, mark12_30! Yes, I've always loved the humor in that chapter - and yet another aspect of Aragorn's character that makes him so fantastic! Your turn - looking forward to what you come up with!
*Estelyn briefly considers sueing Rimbaud just for fun, then remembers that his knowledge of legal matters is greater than hers and dismisses the idea.* |
"No, they have not seen anything since they first looked away from the window, " she said to her shadow. "And then for a grievous parting!"

That one took some serious searching, but I found it; the speaker is Frodo, in Rivendell.

Bravo, Estelyn! That was fast! Your turn.
|
These are fun, both to guess and to pose! Try this one:
Quote:
|
It sounds like, "No, the King who has gone to the tower (something) when he enters through the door"
Denethor, perhaps? Let me ferret out a quote... [ October 18, 2002: Message edited by: Susan Delgado ] |
Of course, I went away for the weekend and forgot to bring my book [img]smilies/rolleyes.gif[/img] Ah, well, somebody else take it.

Gandalf to Saruman
Quote:
|
Very good, HI - proceed at will.
|
merlilot, we are going to take this place over as well
[img]smilies/evil.gif[/img] just kiddin. k, next one: Quote:
|
This quote has me puzzled, HI - I thought of the Three Runners, but nothing there seemed to fit. I also thought of the Eagles, but again, found no match. Will you give a clue, please?
|
Certain amount of angry fellaz snapping at one poor chap
[img]smilies/wink.gif[/img] |
well. further hinting: in The Hobbit [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]
|
Thanks for another clue, HI - I've almost reread the Hobbit and still can't find it. The word 'entity' is puzzling me - if it were 'enemy', it could be this quote by Thorin to Bilbo:
Quote:
|
entity: 1 a : BEING, EXISTENCE; especially : independent, separate, or <font color="FF0029">self-contained existence b : the existence of a thing as contrasted with its attributes
think along lines suggested by colored definition of the word "entity", as thing self contained and therefore not divided, or shared (hint, hint [img]smilies/rolleyes.gif[/img] ) |
Is it Bilbo speaking to Thorin?
Quote:
|
well, try situation which occured a bit earlier, sometime in August 2941 TA
|
OK, I finally found it:
Quote:
|
Aye Estelyn, you've got it. I assume reverse quote was quite crude, since you have spent so much time in guessing it out. Sorry for that. Proceed
|
Here's a new one to try:
Quote:
|
Aragorn to Gimli and Legolas at Fangorn:
Quote:
|
Quite right, HI - I guess that was fairly obvious. It is a nice quote, isn't it? Go ahead with a new one!
|
funny thing to follow, methinks:
Quote:
|
Could we have a clue please?
Just a small one? Nothing I can find seems to fit. |
