"How do we know you are the Strider that Gandalf speaks about?
You never mentioned Gandalf, till this letter came out. You might be a ally-acting spy, for all I can see, trying to get us to go with you. You might have done in the real Strider and took his clothes. What have you to say to that?" Kinda easy, as I read it not long ago. |

'ally' is not correct... and I need a speaker.

How about "play-acting"? And how about Sam for a speaker?

* one letter too few... did you throw in an extra blank?

Ok here's where you went wrong:
1st line:"has" "held" and both "in"'s 2nd line: "by" Otherwise, all is good! (Didn't throw in an extra blank it's just that the British spelling for neighbors is neighbours. Gotta stick to the text )Last edited by Beren3000 : 08-23-2004 at 05:08 AM. |

No, the speaker is not Fëanor.
Here's what is solved until now: "A king is he that/ _a_ / h_l_ /his own, or else his / _i_l_ / i_ / vain. Thingol /_o_s / _u_ / g_a_t / _s / lands where his power / _o_s / _o_ / run. / _n_e_d / _o_i_t_ / alone / _o_l_ / b_ / his / _e_l_ / this day, but for the coming of the Noldor. Therefore in Doriath let him reign, and be glad that he has the sons of Finwë for his neighbours, not the Orcs of Morgoth that we found. Elsewhere it shall go as seems good to us." |

Take it easy on us, we're only innocent mooters after all!
 Here's my humble try: "It is plain that Thingol desires your ....; but it seems that this doom goes beyond his ....and that the Oath of Fëanor is again at work. For the Silmarils are cursed with an oath of hatred, and he that even names them in desire moves a great power from slumber; and the sons of Fëanor would lay all the Elf-kingdoms in ruin rather than suffer any other than themselves to win or possess a Silmaril, for the oath drives them. And now Celegorm and Curufin are dwelling in my halls; and though I, Finarfin's son, am ..., they have got a strong _o_e_/i_/t_e/_e_l_,/ a_d/_e_d/_a_y/_f/_h_i_/o_n/_e_p_e./ _h_y/_a_e/_h_w_/f_i_n_s_i_/t_/m_/i_/e_e_y/_e_d,/_u_/I/_e_r/_h_t/_h_y/_i_l/_h_w/_e_t_e_/l_v_/n_r/_e_c_/t_/y_u, /_f/_o_r/_u_s_/b_/t_l_./Y_t/_y/_w_/o_t_/h_l_s; /_n_/t_u_/w_/a_e/_l_/e_s_a_e_." |

Everything is right so far, except "got."
