I shall pick this thread up again if you don't mind Hobbitlass [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

There is another instance of that quote in ROTK ...

Quote:
Boromir it was that drove the enemy at last back from this western shore, and we hold still the near half of Osgiliath. For a little while. But we await now a new onslaught there.
Beregond to Pippin in the embrasure of the sixth circle of Minas Tirith

And of course the two you were referring to:

Quote:
'As a father you shall be to me,' said Merry.
'For a little while,' said Theoden
&

Quote:
'Théoden King, Théoden King! Farewell! As a father you were to me. for a little while. Farewell!'
I am sure there are quite probably others that I've overlooked .. it's a common enough phrase .. I wanted to revive this thread as copy-cats are good at making you flick through your books again !
