You're right, Annunfuiniel!
I must apologize for having accidentally left out "vow to" , shame on me [img]smilies/frown.gif[/img] You're good to find it out in spite of that mistake. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

Hmmm, it wouldn't be Barliman Butterbur by any chance would it?

Neither are correct, though Guinevere is getting somewhere.

Well, as for hints, I can not be so sure that they are correct because I am at camp and without my book. I will give this hint for I am almost positive that it is correct. It is said by a hobbit and not in FotR. I hope those might help.

Oh Lostgaeriel, you're really good to have found the last quote! [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img] I had been searching for that everywhere without success!
And I am happy that you posted one that I recognize... [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img] [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img] Quote:

Does no one recognize this proverb?
I'll give you a hint: it's from Unfinished Tales!
