That is a cute quote, HI! Gandalf says to Bilbo and the dwarves:

yes, Esty, That's it. Thanks for the compliment, BTW

*bows

well, proceed [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

that's Grishnakh quarreling with Ugluk and others over Pipppin and Merry:

Well, HI, the name of the speaker is not specifically mentioned, but the quote is correct and I consider the question answered well enough. Go ahead with a new one.

ah, but who else that 'deep voice' may be? Still more who else beside Ugluk had 'orders'?

Anyways, easy one to follow:

The opposite of Fili and thinnest had to be Bombur and fattest, so this one was just a matter of searching for the right passage in the Hobbit. Gandalf says:

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

Here's a new one:

I give a numbness for one which I love for all that I do.

As a wild guess

'Love' is right, but the rest isn't even close - keep trying! [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

sounds like Lorien:

But who says it?

Ah sorry Estelyn. It was said by some unnamed leader of 'elves that could speak their tongue'

Precisely - go ahead!

well well

So this is shouted for Shipland

? http://www.plauder-smilies.de/tiere/grommit.gif ?

nay, dear Mr. Cabbage, it's a bit trickier [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img] than that

Hint? (I've not got got much experience in quote guessing games) [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

My guess....
Why is it called Carrock?

yes, hobbitlass, you hit it [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

proceed

Is it really that hard, or is nobody bothering to post? http://www.plauder-smilies.de/tiere/grommit.gif [img]smilies/rolleyes.gif[/img]
And I worked so hard... [img]smilies/tongue.gif[/img] [img]smilies/rolleyes.gif[/img] http://www.plauder-smilies.de/tiere/grommit.gif

Can you give us a clue? I don't know where to start looking yet...
(btw, cute avatar picture! [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img] )

It is in RotK, if that helps.

LePetitChoux, I'm still hunting, but can you give another clue? I'm not sure if my 'translation' of opposites is right - I thought 'one' for the first word and 'difference' for the last one, but I have no idea what the opposite of policemen could be!

Gosh, I thought it was good at the time... [img]smilies/rolleyes.gif[/img] I'll have to change it...it is pretty confusing, now I come to think of it...
OK, here is the new, refurbished quote.

Hopefully thats better.... [img]smilies/frown.gif[/img] http://www.plauder-smilies.de/tiere/grommit.gif

One thief deserves another?

Yes. I'm sure you know who said it, but its in the rules that you must state the speaker [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]

Sorry, i've no idea who said it, anyone who does can go right ahead.

'Twas Saruman, speaking of the tobacco pouch when he met Gandalf and the hobbits on their way back to the Shire.

Orodoliel, you did the hard part, getting the quote - would you like to make up the next one?

No, you go right ahead. You got the whole answer.

Anyway, I prefer guessing quotes to making them up.

His pain he will forget, or it will darken his mind, or he will remember wisdom.

I was just gussing so its probably wrong...clue please? [img]smilies/rolleyes.gif[/img] Iknow i'm boring [img]smilies/rolleyes.gif[/img]

That's pretty close, LePetitChoux - try looking in RotK...

I cannot find it! Which book is it in (5 or 6)? I was sure it was the speech that Elrond said in the film, "That wound will never fully heal"-i.e. concerning Frodo's Nazgul stabbing. Am I anwhere near?

It's in Book V, and it's not Frodo's wound - think of another wounded Hobbit!

Thanks! [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img] [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img] [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]
Aragorn, to Pippin when he was worried Merry would die. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

That was so silly of me...I read that part yesterday! [img]smilies/rolleyes.gif[/img]
