Good choice!! (but I can't think of how I could rearrange the letters now...

)

Finally!

Quote:

Many a man of arms misreads patience and quiet. She did much good among us at much cost. Her heart was not faint, and patience will break at the last.

Asgon on Aerin's death.

Great quote and difficult to locate and discover.

"Have you not read the letters?" said Cirion.
"I have," said the Prince (of Dol Amroth), "and therefore I wonder; for the letters are lambe, ando, lambe, but there is no tomb for Elendil, nor has any man since his day dared to use that name."

from "Cirion and Eorl", U.T.

mormegil · 11-03-2005, 07:57 AM

How did you get this? I thought I found one that was very difficult and there you go getting after 5 letters. I thought this would make at least 8. Well done I am impressed!

Guinevere · 11-03-2005, 03:39 PM

Thank you Mormegil! (Well, mainly because I saw "letters" and "Elendil" and 3 suspicious commas after Lambe, anda, lambe...

)

luthien-elvenprincess · 11-03-2005, 07:12 PM

Arghhhh, mormegil...I had just figured it out and came back to this thread to post the answer...and you beat me to it!

Good job!

Guinevere · 11-04-2005, 03:23 AM

Yes, well done, Mormegil (you found it pretty soon, even if I left "Mercy!" out...)

mormegil · 11-04-2005, 04:36 PM

Figuring out the word 'inquisitiveness' was key and I knew it started with "I" that's why I requested it but I figured it out quickly after asking.
