Doesn't Merry say it to Frodo in Conspiracy Unmasked, or does he specifically say "The Ring is no laughing matter". Am I close?

Gandalf to Frodo when Frodo asks why the Ring came to Gollum instead of an Orc. (Do I have to look up the chapter? I think it's Shadow of the Past.)

Thats correct! Its not neccesary to look up the chapter as long as you provide enough information to show you know where it was at. Your turn!

Beren, I think we've been left alone in the quiz rooms with no babysitter.

You are correct - your turn.

A nastyily difficult one until I started reading and found it on the first page!

It was "they", probably meaning the citizens of the shire, about Bilbo's enexhaustible wealth and perpetual youth.

Well, I started at the prancing pony ('cause of "pay") but that wasn't it. So I started from the beginning.

Aye, a tricksy one indeed. I know it was said about Rivendell, but without looking it up I'm not sure by or to whom. Was it Frodo? To Sam perhaps?

Nope. I must confess I intentionally did a stumper. It will be hard even if you do look it up.

Need a nudge?

Hullo alaklondewen. I hade a feeling it would be in the wonderful woods of Lorien. The Mirror of Galadriel, when Galadriel is going through the test of the ring. 'you will give me the ring freely....' etc.

Gandalf to Frodo upon his return to The Shire to discuss the Ring - Shadow of the Past.

I just noticed that all of the ones I've gotten so far are from this chapter - maybe I memorized it without knowing it!

Is it Elrond to Gandalf talking about Sam accompanying Frodo on the quest to destroy the ring and Elrond was trying to decide who was to be in the fellowship perhaps? Wow, long answer.

Frodo to Glorfindel about riding on his horse. I laughed out loud the first time I read that part, just imagining Frodo's shreak at the thought.

I couldn't get past the image of a tiny hobbit atop a huge Elven steed. Kinda like a peanut on a squirrel. Hyah! Whoa, boy!

It's all yours, Beren.
