Aegidius Ahenobarbus Julius Agricola de Hammo to his noble steed. Or, in vernacular, Giles to grey mare:

When I saw you were viewing this thread (yes I admit to stalking...

We meet again

Aotrou! Lo! thou hast returned—
perchance some kindness I have earned?
What hast thou, lord, to give to me
whom thou hast come thus far to see

Corrigan, speaking to Aotrou in "The Lay of Aotrou and Itroun"

(The "thou"s gave it away - this is the only work we've had here that uses that pronoun!)

Guinevere · 12-02-2005, 03:26 PM

Heck, you beat me to this one!

I had asked for the H's because I guessed the "thou"s but it took me too long to find and type the verses...

HerenIstarion · 12-02-2005, 05:35 PM

Ah, John, I thought they would tie in the twelfth round...
Yes Jack, that seemed likely, but left hook of Estelyn's, that's a blow only few can withstand, and uppercuts? Have you noted uppercuts?
Well, John, Guinevere is not a weakling either, her straigt is like a sledgehammer, even if I say so myself, but see, but now I've I had a sparring with her once or twice...
Anyways, Jack, I tell you today Estelyn was the better, so, excuse me for a moment, I have to announce it, l-a-a-y-y-y-d-e-e-e-e-z a-a-a-nd g-e-n-t-l-l-l-m-a-a-a-n, t-h-e w-e-e-e-e-e-i-n-n-e-r e-e-e-e-e-z.... E-S-T-E-L-E-E-E-E-E-N!
John, whatever you say, it's mere luck, I'll bet you next time Guinevere will be the winner!
We'll see Jack, we'll see, we'll see...

The people of Ham, about Chrysophilax, when he did not return with gold, as promised:

Quote:

"We did not give him enough time," said others. "It is a powerful long way to the mountains, and he would have a lot to carry. Maybe he has had to get help."

Estelyn Telcontar · 12-03-2005, 03:53 PM

Excellent! You have it and the thread is yours, at least for the next quote.

Guinevere · 12-05-2005, 10:53 AM

Guinevere · 12-06-2005, 12:18 PM

Yes, well done Esty! ...and Tuor's C's proved very useful, didn't they!

Estelyn Telcontar · 12-06-2005, 12:32 PM

Very much so - there aren't many of Tolkien's works that include the word "curtain"! That did narrow the search down considerably. Here's a new one for you:
