Very good, HI - that one was a bit tricky to assign to a speaker! Your turn!

OK, we've already added Roverandom to the list - is that enough, or do we need more?

The speaker quoted may be referred to as a woman (at least the person is referred to as "she" by JRRT), speaking unto the (clue! clue! - childless) mortal man.

Nice clue, HI, but not so very helpful when I don't know in which minor work to start searching - or if I even have the work from which it's taken. Has it been mentioned in the above list? If not, how about a complete (new) list of the works which we are using now? Thanks!

OK, that hint was quite clear, thanks! I don't have The Lay of Aotrou and Itroun anywhere (can you tell me where it's been published?), but I do have a brief summary of it in Tom Shippey's J.R.R.Tolkien: Author of the Century, so I can make an educated guess. The speaker is the Corrigan, speaking to Aotrou.

Wow, you did find a very obscure work there, HI! [img]smilies/rolleyes.gif[/img]

I found this interesting site listing other Tolkien writings. I thought it might be of some interest to all posting on this thread... [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]
I might start a new topic conserning this list in the Books forum too.

I was on the wrong track at first, looking for this quote in Roverandom, but now I discovered that it's in one of our old favorites, Farmer Giles of Ham! It's the parson, speaking of Giles' sword.

Great! I finally know one. This is Augustus Bonifacius in Farmer Giles of Ham. He said this several times when he found out Giles was returning to Ham with the Chrysophylax's treasure.

Thank you, Estelyn for the welcome. I've been watching this thread for a while, but I am still working on the reading list. I'm sure I won't be able to stump you, but I'll try.
