How nice to see this thread alive after all! You found the right source of that quote, Guinevere, and may now proceed to baffle us with a new one.

Sorry to have neglected this thread, but I haven't had the time to search for the above quote, and its location hasn't spontaneously occurred to me. Now I'll be away for several weeks; I do hope others will carry the torch and continue!

*picks up torch and uses it to see while paging through her Roverandom book

This is said by the Man-in-the-Moon in praise of Mew the Seagull's speed in flying Roverandom to the moon:

About time someone found this!!

Do I guess rightly that this is said by Torhthelm when he at last finds Beorhtnoth's body:
"I've found it, Tída!
here's his sword lying!"
