Since it's a new page, here's where we stand:

"Your oaths of faith to me /_o_/m_y/_r_a_/, but /_/m_s_/h_l_/m_/b_n_/.
/Y_t/_f/_h_r_/b_/a_y/_n/_h_m/_h_/s_a_o_/o_/o_r/_u_s_/h_s/_o_/y_t/_a_l_n/,
/_/s_o_l_/f_n_/a_/l_a_t/_/f_w/_o/_o_l_w/_e/,
/_n_/s_o_l_/n_t/_o/_e_c_/a_/a/_e_g_r/_h_t/_s/_h_u_t/_r_m/_h_/g_t_s."

CC - your words were correct.

BB - your 'but' was, your 'not' is ambiguous - as it could conceivable fit into more than one place

Heehee... "I must hold my bone"

CC's words were correct, so that was "bond" - and his speaker "Finrod" is correct also. I see that I'd better update us (you guys should really try posting them this way ):

"Your oaths of faith to me you may break, but I must hold my bond.
Yet if there be any in /_h_m/_h_/s_a_o_/ of our /_u_s_/ has not yet fallen,
I should find at least a few to follow me,
/_n_/s_o_l_/n_t/_o/_e_c_/a_/a/_e_g_r/_h_t/_s/_h_u_t/ from the gates."

You actually got quite a few more words Midge... nice job!

I know Midge - and sorry for ribbing you. I know how words can get stuck in the mind in this game. We used to take great pride in throwing out things like that now and again though. Not all the time of course.

You've added some more right words:

"Your oaths of faith to me you may break, but I must hold my bond.
Yet if there be any /_n/_h_m/_h_/s_a_o_/ of our /_u_s_/ has not yet fallen,
I should find at least a few to follow me,
and should not /_o/_e_c_/ as a beggar that is thrust from the gates."

That word isn't quite "house" - the "u" is in the wrong place for it.

EDIT: to add "beggar" and "thrust"

EDIT II: realized I had wrongly credited an "in" and restored it to the unsolved version. Sorry.

Sam Gamgee Will this work

I'm not quite sure if I'm doing this right, I still need to read the instructions on the 1st page of this thread, so you please tell me if I am wrong/right.
ex, I figured out it wouldn't before I submitted it, so I'll use it as an example-of our just has not yet fallen.-will that work, or do yall want it different?

It'll probably be easiest if you start with the instructions - and if that doesn't make it clear enough, review a page or two of some quotes that were posted and solved.

Basically - the person who solves the last part of a quote (including naming the speaker) will post the next. They leave out every other letter, and put a slash "/" between words and punctuation marks. The quotes have to come from certain books - and books only - which are: The Hobbit, LOTR, Silmarillion and Unfinished Tales. By "quotes" we mean, something a speaker in one of those books actually says.

Now - for your example, "just" wouldn't work, because the unsolved word has five letters - so there's another letter between the "u" and the "s".

Keep at it though - you'll get the hang of it. It's a great game.

"go"?
But "not" was also wrong in at least one place (the first possible occurrence) - so if you want to solve, YOU should try working a little harder.

"go" is correct.

Those added words are all correct - and Midge gets the last, so...

Your turn, Midge!

I wish I hadn't missed Val's last quote. I would have had it and speaker instantly.

Yes - I was trying to lure you back. I've covered LOTS of great quotes in my Sil readings the last several days. I plan to get a few others up in weeks to come. (there's plenty of other good FF quotes as well)

I won't try to finish up Midge's current quote, because tomorrow I leave for a week - so I don't want to stall out this game by being away while I'm in the thick of things.
