Sorry for the extended delay. Here's a new one:

But we are forbidden to speak of such things, things with which we are well acquainted even more so than we are with flying, Miss Earthwoman … These things are normal, and you would be better off without normality over there.

Anyone?

It's easy if you work out who Miss Earthwoman is ...

**The Saucepan Man** · 04-22-2005, 07:19 PM

Hello? Is there anybody there?

Estelyn Telcontar · 04-23-2005, 01:17 AM

I am, but as I haven't the time to work this out and search for it, I keep looking in, in hopes that someone else does!

**The Saucepan Man** · 05-03-2005, 05:50 PM

It is a snippet of a conversation between Hobbits.

Thanks for the hint and your patience, Saucy! I finally took the time to figure it out - the only thing that occurred to me at first as a contrast to "Earthwoman" was "Skywalker"!

But the Miss/Mr. clue helped - there aren't many hobbits in the book who addressed themselves like that. Here's the quote:

'And you can say what you like, about what you know no more of than you do of boating, Mr. Sandyman,' retorted the Gaffer, disliking the miller even more than usual. 'If that's being queer, then we could do with a bit more queerness in these parts...'

That's the one Esty. Well done and over to you.
