" As for why you are being sent there, I dare say you will find that out in good time, if you keep your wits about you and don't waste time grumbling."

Mew, the seagull, to Roverandom, while flying to the moon.

Very good! I don't think I could have guessed it from those clues. I look forward to a new one from you!

Just peeking in to say "hi" and to let you know that I'm sitting this one out - very busy real life days mean that I have to cut all other activities to a bare minimum. Good luck to those of you who continue on; I'll join in again in a couple of weeks or so...

Since those who worked so hard to guess the letters in this quote don't seem inclined to finish, I will do so. It's to be found in The Adventures of Tom Bombadil, and Tom himself is the speaker, addressing the Barrow-wight.

Quote:

Take away gleaming eyes, take your hollow laughter!
Go back to grassy mound, on your stony pillow
lay down your bony head...

Guinevere · 02-16-2006, 10:20 AM
