Quote Game - Part 9 - Page 10

It all depends on what you want. You can trust us to stick by you
through thick and thin-to the bitter end. And you can trust us to
keep any secret of yours-closer than you keep it yourself.
But you cannot trust us to let you face trouble alone, and go
off without a word. We are your friends, Frodo.

I think that was Merry Brandybuck...

Curufin · 04-16-2008, 10:02 PM

Wow, great job. I should have picked a harder one.

Your turn!

Oh, and I want everyone to note - I quoted a Hobbit.

My favorite Hobbit.

The Dread Pirate Roberts · 04-16-2008, 10:21 PM

Merry rocks.

Here's a partial quote. About 1/3 the length of the total paragraph.

"But wherefore should Middle-earth remain now even desolate and dark, whereas the Elves could make it as fair as Eressëa, nay even as Valinor? And since you have now returned thither, as you might, I perceive that you love this Middle-earth, as do I."

Galadriel?

The Dread Pirate Roberts · 04-17-2008, 06:52 AM

Best guesses combined below:

But /_h_r_f_r_/ should Middle-earth remain/_o_/e_e_/desolate and dark, whereas the Elves could make it as fair as Eressëa, nay even as Valinor? And/_i_c_/you /_a_e/_o_/r_t_r_e_/thither, as you might,/_/p_r_e_v_/that/ you/_o_e/this Middle-earth, as do I.

The Dread Pirate Roberts · 04-17-2008, 06:54 AM

Overlapped posting with Val.

Wherefore is correct. "now even" and the next "now" are also incorrect.

Galadriel is not the speaker.

***Valandil*** · 04-17-2008, 06:56 AM

'for ever' and 'not'?

The Dread Pirate Roberts · 04-17-2008, 07:13 AM

Correct. Good job.

Who said it?

***Valandil*** · 04-17-2008, 07:15 AM

Celebrimbor?

The Dread Pirate Roberts · 04-17-2008, 07:20 AM

Good guess but no.

***Valandil*** · 04-17-2008, 07:28 AM

Celeborn? Celery?

The Dread Pirate Roberts · 04-17-2008, 08:38 AM

Hint time. Celebrimbor may have taken part in the conversation, not as the speaker. It is in fact likely, though not specifically stated in this chapter.

Curufin · 04-17-2008, 11:42 AM

Sauron?

The Dread Pirate Roberts · 04-17-2008, 11:52 AM

Annatar the Lord of Gifts it is! You're up.

Curufin · 04-17-2008, 12:06 PM

Yep, my son really messed things up for Middle-earth, didn't he?

Anyway, here's my quote:

I do not to my long risk it the/_i_e_e_a/_a_l_/buying the/_e_s/and

Grasping at some straws here, obviously.
