Palantir-Green Middle-earth alternate letters missing quote game

The concept for this game is borrowed from another forum. It may prove
worth playing, if not too easy or if administrators don't think it too close to
other games. Their call.

So, a quote is posted with every second letter removed, with a dash replacing
every other letter. The person who identifies the last element, whether it's
finishing the quote or identifying the speaker, goes next. For example:

W_a_/h_s/_t/_o_/i_/i_s/_o_k_t_e_/

answer: What has it got in its pocketses? Speaker: Gollum.

Anything from The Hobbit, LOTR, the Silmarillion, or Unfinished Tales can be used.
But also, how about including The Book of Lost Tales and HoME? However, if
The Book of Lost Tales and HoME are used, I'd suggest not requiring the speaker
of the quote to be identified, since it's quite possible many people don't have
those books and/or have read them. (For one, I've got most of them but have
read almost nothing in them yet).

You do not not have to completely solve the quote to make guesses. The
original poster will repost the quote with as much as was correctly guessed
shown.

Ex.:
For W_a_/h_s/_t/_o_/i_/i_s/_o_k_t_e_/?

Someone might post
What/has/it/not/if/its/rock_t_e_/?

And the original poster would put up:
What/has/it/_o_/i_/i_s/_ock_t_e_/?

So, how about:

F_r/_h_m_,/m_/f_t_e_/b_h_l_,/h_r_/i_/B_r_n/_h_/b_a_e/
_h_m/_h_/j_s_i_g/_r_v_/i_t_/d_r_/p_a_e_/a_d/_o_l/
_a_t_v_t_/a_d/_h_/V_l_r/_l_n_/s_v_d/_r_m/_/b_t_e_/
d_a_h./_e_h_n_s/'_w_u_d/_a_h_r/_e_i_/a/_i_g/_f/_h_/
E_d_r/_o/_e_a_d/_i_/t_a_/r_v_l_/h_m.

You know, I thought this would be easier than this...hmm...

"For/shame,/my/f_t_e_/behold,/here/is/Beren/the/blade/whom/the/joshing/brave/
i_t_/d_r_/played/and/fool/_a_t_v_t_/and/the/Valar/alone/saved/from/a/b_t_e_/
d_a_h./_e_h_n_s/'twould/_a_h_r/_e_i_/a/_i_g/of/the/Eldar/to/_e_a_d/him/that/
r_v_l_/him.

That's as much as I can come up with, and it's not even much, if any is right.

Actually, a good first effort. Especially since I got it from "The Book
Of Lost Tales", which may be why some of the language sounds
rather archaic.

Thumbs up

Correct, Encaitare. I rather like that quote. It
shows a Luthien with a bit of an attitude.

Your turn.

Yup, especially since she's stamping her foot at daddy and all that. Here goes...

That's right, H-I. Hmm, my typing seems to have gone a bit wonky there, my apologies. I'll triple-check next time.

That is Mr. Baggins, a hobbit of good family and unimpeachable reputation.

Not sure of the speaker. Gandalf to Thorin before they set off on the quest of Erebor?

Twas in the land of willows where the grass is long and green-
I was fingering my harp-strings, for a wind had crept unseen
And was speaking in tree-tops, while the voices of the reeds
Were whispering reedy whispers as the sunset touched the meads,
Inland musics subtly magic that those reeds alone could weave-
'Twas in the Land of Willows that once Ylmir came at eve.

Tuor of Gondolin has just left Hobbiton.
Wow! Phantom be " 'da man".
I thought it might be tricky, especially Ylmir.

P.S. Sorry for the delay answering. I had some chest (minor) pains and my
doctor sent me to a hospital for tests. All turned out negative, but THERE
AREN'T COMPUTERS IN HOSPITAL ROOMS! (Just a lot of sick people).
Now I see a use for laptops.

Firefoot has been trapped in the Barrow!
"Come! I will lead you now!" he called. "We must obey his last command. Follow me!"

I'll try to fill in some words here.

"For/ -a-k-e-s/ along/ i-/ w-r-h-p-u-,/ and/ the/ road/ -h-r-o-/ may/ yet/ make/ other/ -o-l-s/ -o/ -e/ -i-t-/ to/ those/ that/ s-r-e/ -i-,/ so/ that/ the/ increase/ of/ their/ power/ -h-l-/ find/ no/ end."

Bleh... it looks so familiar but I can't remember it. I must be too tired.
