The Squatter of Amon Rûdh · 09-25-2005, 09:47 AM

Indeed so. Your turn again, Estelyn.

Estelyn Telcontar · 09-25-2005, 10:45 AM

Can't argue with this:

Quote:

a star's a star

HerenIstarion · 09-25-2005, 10:54 AM

Noakes to Alf? (Final conversation with the King about who swallowed the star?)

Estelyn Telcontar · 09-25-2005, 04:02 PM

I was hoping someone would think that, but it's a false trail, HI.

Try again!

Guinevere · 09-26-2005, 12:46 PM

It must be Philomythus to Misomythus :

a star's a star. some matter in a ball
compelled to courses mathematical

Estelyn Telcontar · 09-26-2005, 01:41 PM

Yes, you have it, Guinevere! Next one's yours...

Guinevere · 09-28-2005, 02:57 AM

Thank you, Esty.

The next quote is obviously not directed at you...

Quote:

And you can talk your beard off.

Estelyn Telcontar · 10-19-2005, 11:01 AM

Time to answer this one! It's Hobbits, if I interpret "the little folk of Hays-end and Breredon" correctly, speaking to Tom Bombadil in his Adventures.

Guinevere · 10-19-2005, 12:50 PM

Correct, Esty!

Estelyn Telcontar · 10-20-2005, 12:36 AM

Here is a new quote - wise is s/he who knows and admits this!

Quote:

I need help and advice

Guinevere · 10-31-2005, 03:44 AM

It doesn't look like any one else is interested in solving that one, so I'll do it:

It's Niggle, inside his picture, realizing he wants Parish to join him.
"This place cannot be left just as my private park. I need help and advice: I ought to have got it sooner."

Estelyn Telcontar · 10-31-2005, 03:47 AM

I'm glad you did! Eagerly looking forward to a new quote...

Guinevere · 11-01-2005, 01:22 PM

tonight you could say that to me:

Quote:

How tired you look!

HerenIstarion · 11-20-2005, 01:38 PM

Must have been Smith's son upon Smith's return from his last journey, as he gave up the Star

(It took us long, so hopefully you are rested now

)

Guinevere · 11-21-2005, 10:49 AM

Yes, that's Ned.

HerenIstarion · 11-22-2005, 01:00 PM

Well, next up:

Quote:

Knock off! Complete rest—in the dark

Estelyn Telcontar · 11-22-2005, 03:35 PM

That's the doctor in the afterlife, speaking to Niggle.

HerenIstarion · 11-23-2005, 05:52 AM

Yes, indeed. The floor is yours, m'am

Estelyn Telcontar · 11-23-2005, 07:17 AM

Quote:

Ridiculous nonsense!

Not meaning anything we post here, of course...

HerenIstarion · 12-10-2005, 03:39 AM

Mrs. Artaxerxes, telling Mr. Artaxerxes off for turning Rover into a toy, or rather for not turning him back into a dog

Estelyn Telcontar · 12-10-2005, 03:45 AM

Yep! It's all yours!

HerenIstarion · 12-12-2005, 01:21 AM

Next up:

Quote:

'I steal no gold, I drink no beer, I eat no kind of meat

Poor soul...

The Squatter of Amon Rûdh · 12-12-2005, 07:20 AM

I think that's the Lonely Troll to Perry the Winkle in The Adventures of Tom Bombadil. Was your choice of source by any chance inspired by Fordim's new poll?

HerenIstarion · 12-12-2005, 07:25 AM

Quote re: Right you are Sir!
Poll re: No, Sir, haven't seen one yet, going to right away

The floor is yours

Edit: Ah, I mistook you! I thought there was some new poll about with beer an meet and pipe-weed in, and seemingly you meant one about Bombadil. No, the quote was rather inspired by hunger for meat and thirst for beer I'm doomed to be starved and parched with until the office hours are over...

The Squatter of Amon Rûdh · 12-12-2005, 01:37 PM

Well, I can only hope that you've had a chance to eat and drink since you posted that. No-one should quiz on an empty stomach.

Quote:

You will hear from us later

And the sooner you find the quotation, the sooner you'll hear from me.

Estelyn Telcontar · 12-12-2005, 03:58 PM

Not too late yet, I hope...

The quote comes from Farmer Giles of Ham and is spoken to Giles by the King. Did you expect his full name as the answer?

The Squatter of Amon Rûdh · 12-15-2005, 06:00 AM

Naturally I'd like his full name. You are, of course, correct, though.

Estelyn Telcontar · 12-15-2005, 07:17 AM

OK, you want it, you get it!

Augustus Bonifacius Ambrosius Aurelianus Antoninus Pius et Magnificus, dux rex, et Basileus Mediterranearum Partium. And he spoke to Aegidius Ahenobarbus Julius Agricola de Hammo. There! All hand-typed!

New quote:

Quote:

Where have you been?

Estelyn Telcontar · 01-02-2006, 03:01 AM

What an appropriate quote - is anyone here to find it? (I'll have to search for the source myself - I put my books away over the holidays, and can't remember where it was.

)

Guinevere · 01-02-2006, 08:10 AM

Ok, then I'll solve it.

It's Smith's little girl, greeting her father at his return from faerie:

"Daddy!" she cried. "Where have you been? Your star is shining bright."

Estelyn Telcontar · 01-02-2006, 08:18 AM

Yes, that's it, Guinevere! Thanks for saving me the trouble of searching!

Your turn.

Guinevere · 01-02-2006, 09:41 AM

Don't take the next quote personnally!

Quote:

I am busy. Go away!

Estelyn Telcontar · 01-05-2006, 01:38 AM

Having waited politely for three days to give others a chance, I will now answer this one: It's Niggle speaking to the Inspector of Houses.

Guinevere · 01-05-2006, 09:07 AM

Correct, of course!

Estelyn Telcontar · 01-05-2006, 09:24 AM

I hope this is not:

Quote:

A fool's question!

Guinevere · 01-13-2006, 12:40 PM

That's Tídwald replying to Totta:

"Where first" you say? A fool's question!
To Maldon and the monks, and then miles onward
to Ely and the abbey.

Estelyn Telcontar · 01-13-2006, 01:20 PM

Right you are, and you've earned the right to pose the next one!

Guinevere · 01-13-2006, 02:20 PM

Thanks!

Here is the next one, if it's too short, I can add a bit more.

"No risks for him."

Estelyn Telcontar · 01-14-2006, 09:03 AM

That's spoken by old Nokes to Alf Prentice of and in Smith of Wootton Major.

Guinevere · 01-14-2006, 02:49 PM

Yes, very good Esty!

It's nearly impossible to stump you, it seems.
