Well done Tuor!

Thanks.

Here's a new one. It's a partial quote,

Guinevere · 03-16-2006, 02:03 PM

Well, I can guess the quote, but I do not know whence it comes.

Quote:

"I do not know. It is too distant to make out."

The speaker might be Legolas, or Aragorn perhaps?

Tuor in Gondolin · 03-17-2006, 10:03 AM

The quote answer is correct by B]Guinevere[/B] .
I think she deserves credit for identifying the
character. It's Strider, as the four hobbitses and
he are approaching Amon Sul and see flares that
turn out to be Gandalf dueling with some nazgul.

Guinevere · 03-17-2006, 02:51 PM

Thank you, Tuor!

(I was looking in the wrong book! I just guessed that it must be someone noble saying "I do not know" instead of "I don't know")

"The staff in the hand of a wizard may be more than a prop for age," said Hama. He looked hard at the ash-staff on which Gandalf leaned. "Yet in doubt a man of worth will trust to his own wisdom."
