[HerenIstarion]

in The Hobbit, nearer to its end, if the hint is qhat's required

[Guinevere]

I had been looking at all the orc speeches in the LotR (remembering some such insult somewhere) but of course in vain.
Well, thanks to your hint I guess I've found it now; it must be Thorin to Bilbo, after Bilbo had confessed about the arkenstone.

"You seem all in leage!" said Thorin dropping Bilbo on the top of the wall. "Never again will I have dealings with any wizard or his friends. What have you to say, you descendant of rats?"

correct

[Guinevere]

Thank you! Let's try some French again:

La longue vie qu'ils étaient garantis les deçoit , et ils lambinent dans le monde, des enfants en esprit, jusqu'à ce que la vieillesse les trouve, et alors beaucoup d'entre eux abandonnent seulement les jeux de dehors par des jeux dans leur maisons.

[HerenIstarion]

Be ashamed those who blame Tolkien of inability to describe gender relationships. That'd be Erendis, in her complaint about men in general, but particularly aimed at Aldarion:

The long life that they were granted deceives them, and they dally in the world, children in mind, until age finds them – and then many only forsake play out of doors for play in their houses

[Guinevere]

and somehow it isn't only applicable to Númenoreans only...

[HerenIstarion]

But I do not feel very much inclined to fetch my dictionaries right now (it is so cozy in this chair, if you only knew...), so it is one of the two I need no lexicon with for the next serving, that is, Russian:

[HerenIstarion]

My apologies for a delay, sorry.

Dear Mariska,

Would you be so kind to take it over again? Just I find myself a tiny bit busy of late (the drop of freqency of my posting may have been noted ). I will certainly come back when circumstances elswhere take the grip off me

thanks and cheers

[Mariska Greenleaf]

I will gladly do so.
This next one is in Dutch, good luck!

"Het is lang geleden sinds ik een kind was. Ik heb nu een wil en wijsheid van mezelf, maar tot op heden heeft het de jouwe niet gekruist. Ik ga mee met je."

[Guinevere]

Ah, something easier than Russian !

"It is long since I was a child. I have a will and wisdom of my own, though until now it has not crossed yours. I go with you."

Nienor to Morwen

[Mariska Greenleaf]

Well, I knew it wouldn't be hard for you, well done!
