***Varnafindë*** · 01-18-2011, 11:43 AM

hard to come by.

***Valandil*** · 01-18-2011, 01:50 PM

Also correct.

Only one more word and speaker!

Taniquetil · 01-18-2011, 07:44 PM

Fancy???

Anyway, I believe that the speaker is Morgoth.

***Valandil*** · 01-18-2011, 10:38 PM

Neither correct, Taniquetil - please keep trying!

***Earniel*** · 01-19-2011, 10:17 AM

Aragorn?

***Valandil*** · 01-19-2011, 10:50 AM

No - not Aragorn.

***Varnafindë*** · 01-19-2011, 11:49 AM

"Jewels such as these you will not/_a_c_/in your treasuries, for they are hard to come by."

catch?

Midge · 01-19-2011, 02:05 PM

match

Taniquetil · 01-19-2011, 02:53 PM

Match and Thingol?

***Valandil*** · 01-19-2011, 04:45 PM

'match' is correct, Thingol is not.

Quote is now solved - and we only need the speaker. So who was it that said?:

"Jewels such as these you will not match in your treasuries, for they are hard to come by."

***Earniel*** · 01-19-2011, 07:11 PM

Beren, perhaps?

***Valandil*** · 01-19-2011, 07:26 PM

No - not Beren.

It might be too early for this, but do you guys want a hint of any kind?

Midge · 01-20-2011, 12:34 PM

I was going to go with some kind of obvious answer, like a dwarf, like Thorin?

***Valandil*** · 01-20-2011, 01:08 PM

No - not Thorin.

Taniquetil · 01-20-2011, 08:03 PM

Sauron keeps sticking in my mind for some reason

NO! way to early for hints!

***Valandil*** · 01-21-2011, 01:08 AM

No - not Sauron.

And I like that spirit - about not wanting the hints yet!

Taniquetil · 01-21-2011, 12:41 PM

Well here's an obvious one that I don't think anyone's guessed yet: FEANOR!

***Valandil*** · 01-21-2011, 03:49 PM

No - not Feanor.

***Earniel*** · 01-21-2011, 04:03 PM

Eh, there are far too many instances in Tolkien's work were such a phrase might have been said.

But Taniquetil's guess gave me an idea... Fram to the dwarves that wanted Scatha's hoard back?

***Valandil*** · 01-21-2011, 06:13 PM

Fram it was! (and actual 'jewels' they were not - but dragon's teeth)

Your turn, Earniel!
