Quote Game - Part 10 - Page 11

***Valandil*** · 10-22-2008, 10:39 PM

"See! Here we find /_o_e_s/! No orc-tools these!
They were borne by the hobbits. Doubtless the Orcs despoiled them,
but feared to keep the knives, knowing them for what they are:
work of Westernesse, wound about with spells for the bane of Mordor.
Well, now, if they still live, our friends are weaponless.
I will take these things, hoping against hope, to give them back."

And a GOOD THING he did it!

Midge · 10-22-2008, 10:59 PM

Yes. All we need is that last word, and of course, the antecedent to the "he" you mention.

***Valandil*** · 10-23-2008, 07:43 AM

Midge - if you didn't see it, on the previous page, Varnafinde guessed 'Aragorn' as speaker - and I think she's right. But let us know.

I'm still puzzling out that last word.

The Dread Pirate Roberts · 10-23-2008, 08:56 AM

EDIT: Sorry. Page refresh problem there...

***Rían*** · 10-23-2008, 11:40 AM

*runs in, puzzles over the puzzle*

"tokens", IIRC ...

*runs back out*

Midge · 10-23-2008, 04:27 PM

Aragorn is right. I missed that. Way to go, Rian. "Tokens" is right.

You'd best run back in soon, or before we get to where we're clamoring for a quote!

***Rían*** · 10-23-2008, 04:52 PM

Whew! haven't done this game for awhile! I'm such an old member, I remember when we first started it!

I only have one of the books in front of me right now, so I'll use it. A short quote, but hopefully one word will be hard:

"W_a_/?/A/_u_r_e_/,/a/_a_/t_a_/c_l_s/_a_b_t_/c_n_e_/,/w_e_/h_/d_e_n'_/t_r_/t_e_r/_k_n_/i_t_/s_u_r_e_s/?/"

Midge · 10-23-2008, 05:36 PM

"What? A furrier, a man that calls gambits canter,
when he doesn't term their skunk into shutreeds?"

***Rían*** · 10-23-2008, 05:49 PM

incorrect words - gambits, canter, term, skunk, shutreeds

(I thought "furrier" would be hard!)

***Varnafindë*** · 10-23-2008, 07:55 PM

"What? A furrier, a man that calls/rabbits/c_n_e_/,
when he doesn't/turn/their/skins/into/s_u_r_e_s/?/"

Is Bilbo the speaker?

***Valandil*** · 10-23-2008, 09:05 PM

'conies'?

Not sure about that other word.

Rian - you should try our 'Narnia Quote Game' down in CS Lewis forum.

***Rían*** · 10-24-2008, 01:39 AM

Everything's right - just missing one word now

(nah, I just peeked in here for old times' sake)

The Dread Pirate Roberts · 10-24-2008, 09:32 AM

I don't know the last word, either, but I think the speaker is Beorn.

I suggested Bilbo - I think he is saying it about Beorn, though.

The Dread Pirate Roberts · 10-24-2008, 10:03 AM

Now that I think of it, you're probably right.

***Varnafindë*** · 10-24-2008, 10:15 AM

/squirrels/?/ ?

The Dread Pirate Roberts · 10-28-2008, 09:58 AM

Four

days

and

counting. . .

Midge · 10-28-2008, 10:29 AM

I'm pretty sure "squirrels" is wrong. I don't have my Hobbit copy.. loaned it out. But turning skins into squirrells would not do much for the job of a furrier and Squirrell has two Ls.

RIAN!!! PEEK BACK IN AGAIN FOR MORE OLD TIMES' SAKE!

The Dread Pirate Roberts · 10-28-2008, 10:49 AM

Squirrel has one "L" in it. But I agree that it doesn't seem to fit the context.

Can't think of anything better right now, though.

Midge · 10-29-2008, 08:44 PM

Oh. You're right. It does have one L. That word is tricky!

"What? A furrier, a man that calls rabbits conies,
when he doesn't turn their skins into/s_u_r_e_s/?/"

For some reason I'm getting that that missing word is a sort of synonym with "curtains".
