Okey-dokey!

Here's my question:

What compliment did Saruman pay the hobbits?

Lotesse · 12-17-2005, 05:12 PM

Did he call them "clever?" You know, one of those sarcastic "clever's"... no, that was Gollum. Hmm. Must keep looking...

durinsbane2244 · 12-17-2005, 11:00 PM

er, does he call them, "admirable hobbits"? i seem to recall the phrase, "my most admirable hobbits" from somewhere...

Serenoli · 12-18-2005, 07:30 AM

Sorry, thats not it! For once I seem to have given something remotely difficult! Most of my questions get very quick answers!

Spock · 12-20-2005, 04:26 PM

Boy, it's a good question and I can't remember nor find the answer. Two days and zipp. Oh well, maybe better heads will answer.

Serenoli · 12-21-2005, 02:04 AM

Ok, here's a hint to help you all.

What compliment did Saruman pay the hobbits, according to Gandalf?

Lotesse · 12-21-2005, 08:44 PM

That those little pants made them look taller & brought out the colour in their eyes?

Telcontar_Dunedain · 12-22-2005, 07:07 AM

Was it that he thought they were important enough to have left Isengard?

Serenoli · 12-22-2005, 11:09 AM

Lotesse not at all close, but what a funny idea!

TD, try again... you're close enough, you got the basic idea... but he left Isengard in RotK, the answer is in TT.

Telcontar_Dunedain · 12-22-2005, 08:06 PM

I mean when he went to Fangorn.

Lotesse · 12-22-2005, 08:45 PM

Was it a sincere compliment, or a classic Saruman sarcastic-ism?

Serenoli · 12-23-2005, 09:51 AM

The basic idea that TD got right was that Saruman never meant to pay the compliment. Also think on the hint I gave.

clep_web · 12-23-2005, 11:51 PM

Er...was it something to do with the 'a sneer from him is a compliment' thing? Or is the answer Saruman was concerned about the hobbits and that is supposed to be a compliment?

Serenoli · 12-24-2005, 03:43 AM

We have a winner!

Its the part where Merry complains to Gandalf of being labelled 'rag-tag', and Gandalf says something like 'a sneer from him is a compliment, if you like', so its your turn, clep_web

durinsbane2244 · 12-26-2005, 04:16 PM

good morning clep web! the earth says hello! hello! helllllooo!

clep_web · 12-26-2005, 10:23 PM

Sorry for posting so late, I couldn't think of a deviously hard one so here goes:

What does riding elf-fashion mean?

Lotesse · 12-26-2005, 10:35 PM

Does it mean riding without a saddle or tack?

Lotesse · 12-29-2005, 11:14 PM

YES! Here I am...
