Why thank you kind sir ... I rather hoped someone might produce the exact quote and spare me the unequal struggle a little longer.... at least I can spare myself teh past historic if I quote speech ... but the perfect tense has all those horrid agreeements ... Alors ...... it will alas be French again .... unless I find a short and simple quote......
Quoth the raven was a bit of a joke even before Mr Pratchett ..... someone famous, after a especially disagreable stay wrote in the Visitor's book of some hosue or hotel "Quoth the Raven..."

Is my French so bad or is a clue required? It is the kind of cheerful thing he would say...

Your French is excellent, but the sentence hasn't rung a bell yet...
Is it in LotR ?

Since this has been so long, I shall be more specific... it is in the Two Towers and you have a little clue as to who..
