Exactly!

HI, I'm looking for this one, but it takes time. Can you give just one hint - prose or poetry?

Ah, it's as I thought then - in the Adventures of Tom Bombadil, "The Man in the Moon came down too soon". The cook is responding to the Man in the Moon's wish for "fire and gold and songs of old and red wine flowing free".

That's Tidwald to Torhthelm:
I have cares of my own in my heart, Totta, and my head's weary. I am sorry for you, and for myself also.

Ah, I'm obviously confused! Too much football isn't good for the brain, I guess...
![]() OK, I will search for your "Lead on!" quote. edit: That sounds so military that I didn't have much trouble finding it. I paged through Beorhtnoth first, then Farmer Giles, and there it was: The knights said it to Farmer Giles upon discovering dragon-marks.

Two in one, HI - what a bargain! I'd be so bold to say, since Guinevere isn't around to protest, and you guessed my quote, which came last, that you may continue with a new one. Should anyone have anything to say against it, speak now or forever hold your peace...

One month later, and the thing has not yet been done - anyone want to try it?

This is said by the people of Wootton Major when they learned that the Master Cook had left for good , without warning or farewell.

What an answer to give! You're right, of course, Guinevere, and entitled to go ahead with the next one.

OK, I waited three days to give others a fair chance; now here's the answer: It was said by the wizard Psamathos to Roverandom - and who could blame the dog for sputtering when trying to pronounce the wizard's name?!

Obviously, nobody heeded this advice...
![]() I suspected Garm to be the speaker, but was to lazy to check it in the book until today. Actually, it's the Willow-Wren, telling Tom Bombadil what she'd say to Old Man Willow!

How nice to see this thread alive after all! You found the right source of that quote, Guinevere, and may now proceed to baffle us with a new one.

Sorry to have neglected this thread, but I haven't had the time to search for the above quote, and its location hasn't spontaneously occurred to me. Now I'll be away for several weeks; I do hope others will carry the torch and continue!

*picks up torch and uses it to see while paging through her Roverandom book
This is said by the Man-in-the-Moon in praise of Mew the Seagull's speed in flying Roverandom to the moon: Quote:

About time someone found this!!
![]() Do I guess rightly that this is said by Torhthelm when he at last finds Beorhtnoth's body: "I've found it, Tída! here's his sword lying!"

Yes, you found it, Guinevere! All's well that ends well; I'd forgotten about this thread for quite awhile. I see that getting a year older has made you smarter!

Of course I do! Oh, you mean the quote...
![]() It's in Leaf by Niggle, spoken by the man who looked like a shepherd to Niggle and Parish.

Well, with so few participants, there's no conflict about the fastest to get the answers:
