A new quote that wasn't

[HerenIstarion]

Yes, this thread is great

And the answer must be Mouth of Sauron about Gandalf?

Re: Aliiive

Ah, but Gandalf was The White by then! Who else then? Gandalf had many enemies... Could it be the Goblins of the Misty Mountains after Gandalf's (and Thorin &amp; Co's) rescue by the eagles? Saruman after Gandalf was rescued (again) by an eagle from Orthanc? Perhaps Gollum after Gandalf had &quot;wrung the truth from him&quot; in Mirkwood? The Nazgûl after their run-in with Gandalf at Weathertop?

Re: Aliiive

It could be the Wargs after Gandalf drives them back. He was still Gandalf the Grey at that point.

Ai!

Alas, none of these are right; sorry about my departure. I shall let this run for a while. Or would you like me to give you a hint? <img src=wink.gif ALT="">

Hmm

Actually, many of those answers that have been given would well fit into my quote; but the one I am after is none of those. Do not fear, Lorien Wanderer! The answer is right under your nose. I'll give a hint, because things have to move along. The person that I am thinking of having 'said' that was not one who would be classically associated as a 'bad guy.' <img src=wink.gif ALT="">

Re: Hmm

Maybe it's Gandalf meaning that he will return Narya to Círdan when he returns into the west <img src=tongue.gif ALT=":b">

Re: Hmm

Maybe it's the Ring itself, referring to its plan (!) to reunite with its dark Maker and wreak havoc on Gandalf and the rest of Middle-earth.

Re: A new quote that wasn't

Could it be Theoden, after Gandalf makes off with Shadowfax, shortly after his escape from Orthanc.

Re: A new quote that wasn't

Okay, this might be really easy, but who might have said:

&quot;I do not deny, she is stunning, but I happen to prefer brunettes.&quot;

And to who would they have said it?

[HerenIstarion]

And the answer must be Eomer to Gimli about Galadriel and Arwen

Or Aragorn to Eomer (or Faramir) about Eowyn and Arwen.

Re: A new quote that wasn't

HI, you are correct! I was thinking of Eomer speaking to Gimli regarding his preference of Arwen's beauty over that of Galadriel.

oh, good old man, I know you can get out of here, and I'm almost broken. Take this to my son, I beg you, take it, and tell him to use it when the time comes

Re: A new quote that wasn't

Perhaps it was Thrain to Gandalf in the dungeons of the Necromancer. When he was giving him the map.

Correct, indeed that was the man I was looking for. ask us

Oh God, I totally forgot. Sorry for the delay.

Re: A new quote that wasn't

I'm afraid I can't think of one right now. Does someone else have one to ask?

<blockquote>Quote:<hr> but Gimli had to be dragged away by Legolas: in spite of the peril he lingered by Balin's tomb with his head bowed.<hr></blockquote>
I suppose it could have been Gandalf, but Legolas was who I was thinking of. Anyway, 2 out of 3 is close enough. Ask away!
