Quote Game - Part 10 - Page 17

A bit more:

See, Master Pippin, there is no time to instruct you now
in the history of Gondor; though it might have been better,
if you had learned something of it, when you were still /_i_d_-n_s_i_g/
and playing truant in the Shire. Do as I bid! It is scarcely wise
when bringing the news of the death of his heir to a mighty lord
to speak over much of the coming of one who will, if he comes,
claim the kingship. Is that enough?

Midge · 12-22-2008, 03:17 PM

All correct. Just that last little bit.

Count Comfect · 12-22-2008, 11:43 PM

Well, I haven't been here in a while and I don't know the word, but I'll bet that the next to last letter in that word is an n.

Midge · 12-23-2008, 12:08 AM

you know... you're right.

I keep thinking this is the Narnia quote game thread, and I'm guessing the quote there, not posting.

Goldberry1 · 12-23-2008, 12:45 PM

Is the second half of the hyphenated word "nesting"? It's the only word I can make fit right now...

Also, has the speaker been guessed? I looked back and didn't see it, so I say it is Gandalf.

Midge · 12-23-2008, 01:57 PM

Yes. The second part of the word is nesting. The speaker is also correct; I thought it had been guessed, but it hadn't.

Hey, CC! If you come back soon, I forgot to mention... HI! It's been a long time since we've seen you! Hope you'll be hanging around a bit!

***Varnafindë*** · 12-23-2008, 02:41 PM

/birds-nesting , then? It would make sense ...

Midge · 12-23-2008, 03:10 PM

Yes! Birds-nesting. I don't know how Pippin was doing that, but that's what it is.

Your go, Princess!

Collecting nests, perhaps? Or collecting eggs from nests?

Let's hope he was just looking at them ...

"They always wished to talk to everything, the old Elves did.
But then the Great/_a_k_e_s/came, and they passed away over the sea,
or fled into far valleys, and hid themselves, and made songs about
days that would never come again. Never again.
_y_/,/A_e/,/there was all one wood once upon a time: from here to
the Mountains of Lune, and this was but the East End."

Speaker: Treebeard?

***Varnafindë*** · 12-23-2008, 06:42 PM

Treebeard indeed - and everything else is correct, too!

And I noticed a small mistake of my own:
_y_/,/A_e/, should be _y_/,/a_e/,
No Capital A right there.

Midge · 12-23-2008, 09:06 PM

Is it... "Aye, aye"?

***Varnafindë*** · 12-23-2008, 10:26 PM

It certainly is!

Just one word left.

The Dread Pirate Roberts · 12-23-2008, 11:27 PM

Darkness

***Varnafindë*** · 12-24-2008, 07:25 AM

Darkness is the missing word.

DPR, take it!
