"'And listen, Gandalf, my old friend and helper!' he said,
coming near and speaking now in a softer voice.
'I said we, for we it can be, if you
will join with me. A new Power is rising.
Against it the old allies and dominions will not avail us at all.
There is no hope left in Elves or dying Numenor.
This then is one choice before you, before us.
We may join with that Power. It would be wise,Gandalf.
There is hope that way. Its victory is at hand;
and there will be rich reward for those that aided it.
As the Power grows, its (proved?) friends will also grow;
and the Wise, such as you and I,
may with patience come at last to direct its course,
to control it. We may bide our time,
we may keep (our?) thoughts in our hearts,
deploying /_a_b_/e_i_s/_o_e/ by the way,
/_u_/a_p_o_i_g/ the high and _l_i_a_e/_u_p_s_/:
knowledge, rule, order;
all the things that we have so far striven in vain to accomplish,
hindered rather than helped by our weak or idle friends
There need not be, there would not be,
any real change in our designs, only in our means"

Speaker is correctly guessed as Gandalf (I was hoping to throw someone off just a little bit... did it work?)

Count Comfect · 04-20-2011, 02:21 PM

deploying?

Taniquetil · 04-20-2011, 02:28 PM

for we it may be

old allies and positions

We can bide our time, we can keep our thoughts in our hearts, deploring

by the way, but (appointing) "o" in the wrong place?? it seems to be the only thing that makes sense

Beren3000 · 04-20-2011, 07:21 PM

"... evils done by the way ..."

Both "positions" and "appointing" are incorrect and the placement of the letters is correct in the word beginning with "a".

Beren3000 · 04-21-2011, 04:24 AM

"deploring maybe evils done by the way, but approving the high and ultimate purpose ... "

***Valandil*** · 04-21-2011, 06:54 AM

'maybe'?

'hobities'???

Val, what on earth is a "hobity"?

Also I never thought that word would be the catch. One word left!

Sauruman making an effort to connect with Gandalf on 'those little people' who live in the Shire. He was pretty close, in my version.

Yes - often a word that we don't expect to cause much problem really throws people. Lots of times I think it's the vowels. When the remnants of a word are principally consonants - or even mixed - it's a lot easier. But when it's mostly vowels left, it's hard to fill in the right consonants at each place.

Midge · 04-22-2011, 01:18 AM

Yes, because instead of only having 5 or 8 choices, you have 24! Well, 23. Because there's no "u" I'm pretty sure you can rule out any "q"s.

Keep trying! I'm sure you all know this word - as in you have heard it before and know what it means. It's not an unknown like one of those Elvish words or one of those outdated words...

Taniquetil · 04-22-2011, 10:57 PM

politics ???

***Valandil*** · 04-22-2011, 11:05 PM

Oh... or maybe 'policies'???

Midge · 04-23-2011, 02:36 AM

policies indeed! Your turn, Val!

Midge · 05-04-2011, 08:21 PM

*Bump*

Hey, Val, it's your turn, in case you forgot!

***Valandil*** · 05-05-2011, 07:42 AM

Yes, I know. I've been unmotivated and resorted to avoidance.

Well, here goes:

"F_l_e/_o_e_/a_e/_o_e/_a_g_r_u_/t_a_/f_a_s/,

I have no idea who the speaker is, though

I am spring-boarding completely off Beren3000's post:

"False hopes are more dangerous than fears,
and they will not help us farm this winter.
I wasted my time, though the hours seemed pressing.
But all such things are short-lived;
and the _o_ in the aging is their only true end, I guess.
And now I might as well give you back your gift."
