Elentarimir · 06-03-2003, 04:51 AM

I'm thinking that's somewhere along the lines of Bilbo thinking to himself?

Narduewen · 06-03-2003, 03:17 PM

No Elentarimir, it is not Bilbo talking to himself.

gilraën · 06-03-2003, 03:36 PM

The Great Goblin about the dwarves.

'Up to no good, I'll warrant! Spying on the private business of my people, I guess! Thieves, I shouldn't be surprised to learn! Murderers and friends of Elves, not unlikely! Come! What have you got to say?'

Narduewen · 06-03-2003, 05:52 PM

Correct gilraën! your go.

gilraën · 06-04-2003, 04:53 PM

Thanks [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]
So a quote from Chapter 5 (Riddles in the Dark) if I'm not mistaken, correct me if I am.

1/

Quote:

"Where is it?"

Narduewen · 06-04-2003, 05:16 PM

A couple goblins said that after Bilbo put on the ring.

gilraën · 06-05-2003, 12:46 AM

Yes, your turn [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

Narduewen · 06-05-2003, 07:19 AM

Here's the next quote.

Quote:

"...not far enough."

Narduewen · 06-13-2003, 08:56 AM

Need any hints?

Orofaniel · 06-18-2003, 12:41 PM

Yes, I think we could use that...

Narduewen · 06-20-2003, 08:27 AM

Okay, it was spoken before any of the riddles.

Orofaniel · 06-20-2003, 08:54 AM

Is it one of the dwarves? [img]smilies/eek.gif[/img]

Beren87 · 06-20-2003, 12:13 PM

Bilbo to himself, talking about the Orcs. He was very pleased at his glowing blade.

Narduewen · 06-22-2003, 08:35 PM

That would be correct beren, though it was goblins and his sword still shown lightly, so he wasnt pleased at that, your go.

Beren87 · 06-22-2003, 08:38 PM

Heh, good point.

5.3/

Quote:

, haste!

alaklondewen · 06-22-2003, 09:02 PM

This is Gollum when Bilbo was taking too long on the 'Fish Riddle'.

Beren87 · 06-23-2003, 09:22 AM

Correct as usual Alak. Your go.

alaklondewen · 06-23-2003, 04:34 PM

Why thank you, Beren.

Quote:

On we go!

**The Saucepan Man** · 06-23-2003, 06:25 PM

That'll be Bilbo talking to himself again, while lost in the dark goblin tunnels:

Quote:

"Go back?" he thought. "No good at all! Go sideways? Impossible! Go forward? Only thing to do! On we go!"

alaklondewen · 06-23-2003, 09:39 PM

You are quite right. Our dear Bilbo did have quite a habit of talking to himself, didn't he?

And for giving me the entire quotation, Saucepan, you get a Bozo button and a snowcone. Enjoy!

**The Saucepan Man** · 06-24-2003, 06:34 PM

Quote:

... you get a Bozo button and a snowcone

Why, thank you alak ... if I knew what they were, I'm sure that I would enjoy them. [img]smilies/rolleyes.gif[/img]

And now we are on to Chapter VI, Out of the Frying-Pan into the Fire, I believe (how appropriate [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img] ).

6.1/

Quote:

Touch and go!

Beren87 · 06-24-2003, 06:51 PM

Gandalf, in recounting how he made up the "best bit of magic he could" after the Dwarves and Mr.Baggins were caught by the Goblins.

**The Saucepan Man** · 06-24-2003, 07:02 PM

You are of course correct, Beren. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img] Your turn ...

Beren87 · 06-24-2003, 10:07 PM

You flatter me. [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]

6.2/

Quote:

Weren't there any?

alaklondewen · 06-25-2003, 09:20 AM

This was said by the general 'they', which of course were the 13 Dwarves. They are asking Bilbo about Goblin guards being present when he escaped the caves.

Beren87 · 06-25-2003, 12:32 PM

Correct Alak! Your turn for the third quote.

vanwalossien · 11-21-2003, 09:11 AM

Who said:

Quote:

You've left the burglar behind again!

The Squatter of Amon Rûdh · 12-01-2003, 01:25 PM

What a great idea for a quiz. I haven't done anything to do with The Hobbit in a long while.

The speaker is Nori. Dori's excuse is "I can't be always carrying burglars on my back"

vanwalossien · 12-02-2003, 03:06 AM

Finally , an answer! A correct answer as well of course, Squatter [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

The Squatter of Amon Rûdh · 12-02-2003, 04:05 AM

"Of course"? I've been known to be wrong, you know, on certain rare occasions. [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]

If I reckon this aright, this should be the last quote from chapter VI:

Quote:

It isn't bird-nesting time. Also naughty little boys that play with fire get punished.

Who is the speaker, and to whom is he speaking?

**The Saucepan Man** · 12-02-2003, 05:52 AM

Complete guess here, as I don't have my book to hand, but is it Gandalf shouting down from the tree at the Goblins?

The Squatter of Amon Rûdh · 12-04-2003, 05:38 AM

Your wild guesswork has paid off, Saucepan. Your turn.

**The Saucepan Man** · 12-04-2003, 08:39 PM

So that takes us on to Chapter VII, Queer Lodgings.

Quote:

We shall see, we shall see!

vanwalossien · 12-05-2003, 09:05 AM

"I've been known to be wrong, you know, on certain rare occasions" Ah, the modesty [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

The new quote is Gandalf to Bilbo and Thorin's company after they'd said farewell to the eagles.

**The Saucepan Man** · 12-07-2003, 08:27 PM

Indeed it was. Please continue, vanwalossien. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

vanwalossien · 12-08-2003, 03:25 AM

7.2:

Quote:

Who calls it? Who knows it?

Goldberry · 12-08-2003, 05:16 PM

That was Bilbo to Gandalf asking who he was talking about (Beorn) that called the Carrock by that name.

vanwalossien · 12-09-2003, 01:41 AM

Correct Goldberry [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

Goldberry · 12-09-2003, 02:27 PM

Okay, 7.3:

Quote:

I will look after that.

vanwalossien · 12-12-2003, 04:28 AM

That was Gandalf, when he left the company on the edge of Mirkwood. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]
