Thats right.

I really love that quote.

Actually Mormegil guessed it before the last addition of letters, but he did not have the time to do the next one so he just PM me. (to let me know he knew)

Guinevere · 01-01-2006, 02:37 PM

Mormegil did really well, then! But thanks to his absence I will carry on:

how sad

Guinevere · 01-02-2006, 05:25 PM

Yes, that's it.

Sad? Very insightful, I'd call it! (the story is sad, of course, if that's what you meant)

Rune Son of Bjarne · 01-04-2006, 10:02 AM

I meant that it is sad that they where deceived by the long life. . .(actually I was told my post was to short and needed to write something)

Would it not be fun with a very short quote? I think it would.
