Ver good Guinever! Your turn

Thank you, Narduewen.

I don't have my book with me to check for sure, but this sounds like Thingol to Beren and Luthien. Maybe?

It is Merry to Pippen in the Houses of Healing

You are right, Narduewen! [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img] Your turn.

Hello,Narduewen, where are you ? ?
Don't you want to post a new "proverb" for us to guess ?
Or shall I do it (I have a list of them ready...) Or any one else?

If no one wants to have a go, I'll post a new quote, if I may. [img]smilies/rolleyes.gif[/img]

Gandalf maybe to Aragorn speaking of Sauron and Saruman? I'm not certain and I'm to lazy to go get the books and find out.

It is Gandalf who says it, but not to Aragorn.... and you're right in that it is about Saruman.

Was it to Pippin on their way to Minas Tirith?

Neither... [img]smilies/frown.gif[/img]

It is Gandalf to Saruman about Saruman.

Goldberry says this to the hobbits when they take leave on the hill above Tom Bombadil's house.

Very good [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img] Your turn!

Thank you!

That would be Aragorn to Pippin when he returns his elven brooch.

Quite right, Annunfuiniel. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img] Your turn!

*bows* Thank you, Guinevere! [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

It is Boromir who says this, to Gandalf and the rest of the fellowship, before the attack of the wolves.

Ai, that didn't take long!
Be so kind and carry on, Guinevere. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

Thank you, Annunfuiniel!

Was it Gandalf?

Sorry, wrong guess. [img]smilies/frown.gif[/img]

Hint: it is in RotK

Èomer to Théoden in The Ride of the Rohirrim.

Well done, Eressië Ailin! [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img] your turn

Fangorn, I believe.

So am I.

(This is strange. I'm quoting the post AFTER mine.)

I don't know, really. It must be some non-human, but speaking creature...
But wouldn't Ents need even more words before deeds than men?

Was is perhaps Gimli? (Just guessing [img]smilies/tongue.gif[/img] )

Yes, it was Gimli. Go ahead, Guinevere!

Thank you, Eressië Ailin!
But I was only guessing and have still no idea where Gimli said this. Could you please tell me? [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

Well, for a new "proverb" :

I think someone in Gondor said it to Pippen. Maybe?

Beregond said "I am glad to learn it for now I may say that strange accents do not mar fair speech." It was, as I guessed, said to Pippen.

Very good, Narduewen! [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img] It's your turn.

Thank you Guinevere! Here's the quote,

"A man that flies from his fear may find that he has only taken a short cut to meet it."

This was said by Sador to Túrin in the "Narn i hîn Húrin" !

That is correct Guinevere. Your turn.

Thanks!

Gandalf to Pippin (and co.) about Saruman who was 'imprisoned' in Orthanc.
