"His doubt will be growing, even as we speak here"

One more

Midge · 01-28-2011, 11:32 PM

"His doubt will be growing, even as we speak here.
His eye is now straining toward us,
blind almost to all else that is moving.
So we must keep it. Therein lies all our hope.
This, then is my counsel . We have not the Ring.
In wisdom or great folly it has been sent away to be destroyed,
lest it destroy us. Without it we cannot by force defeat his force.
But we must at all costs keep his eye from his true/_e_i_/.
We cannot achieve victory by arms, but by arms we can give the Ring-bearer his only chance, frail though it be."

Wow, true took me a long time. I didn't think that Sauron was into irie or liked the Crüe.

Oh, and I'll guess Aragorn for the speaker.

EDIT: OH, SNAP! Peril.

***Valandil*** · 01-29-2011, 12:06 AM

All additional word solves are correct - including 'peril'.

Speaker is not Aragorn - so the speaker is the only part that remains unsolved.

***Varnafindë*** · 01-29-2011, 07:05 AM

If not Aragorn, then perhaps Gandalf?

***Valandil*** · 01-29-2011, 09:35 AM

Yes - it was Gandalf. Your turn, Varnafinde!

***Varnafindë*** · 01-29-2011, 10:25 PM

"I was only fifty-one then, and /_i_t_d_y_/ did not seem so important.
The banquet was very /s_l_n_i_/, however,
though I had a bad cold at the time,
I remember, and could only say 'thag you bery buch'."

Speaker: Bilbo Baggins!

***Varnafindë*** · 01-29-2011, 11:03 PM

'bery' in the last line is not correct.
Everything else is correct, and Bilbo Baggins is indeed the speaker.

Three words to go.

"I was only fifty-one then, and birthdays did not seem so important.
The banquet was very /s_l_n_i_/, however,
though I had a bad cold at the time,
I remember, and could only say 'thag you very buch'."

***Valandil*** · 01-31-2011, 01:07 AM

'splendid;?

***Varnafindë*** · 01-31-2011, 02:40 PM

Midge has two of the three words, and Valandil has the last one.
Your turn, Val!

***Valandil*** · 02-03-2011, 08:32 PM

Been busy w/ snow removal.

***Varnafindë*** · 02-05-2011, 09:28 AM

A little /_e_p_e/, but of great worth are the Shirefolk.

EllethValatari · 02-05-2011, 01:15 PM

"A little people, but of great worth are the Shirefolk.

Midge · 02-05-2011, 02:54 PM

"A little people, but of great worth are the Shirefolk.
Little do they know of but long labour for the safekeeping of their barrels,
and yet I grudge it not."

S: The dude who brought Aragorn the standard from Arwen - I forgot his name. Starts with an H, no?

***Valandil*** · 02-05-2011, 05:22 PM

Quote is correct - except for two words in the second line: 'but' and 'barrels'

Aikanáro · 02-05-2011, 06:16 PM

'borders'?

***Valandil*** · 02-05-2011, 06:19 PM

Yes - 'borders' is correct. Had to keep those books safe, you know!

***Varnafindë*** · 02-05-2011, 06:33 PM

our long labour

***Valandil*** · 02-06-2011, 12:10 AM

Yes - 'our' is correct. Quote is now solved. Speaker anyone?

(Midge - I think it's acceptable to look up the name of a person you're thinking of in some other location than the place the quote is take from - if you want to try your person)
