I see what you're doing; counting words, however, your four words do not make a statement. Think of the rules of grammar.

Could you be a little more specific? I'm sure there are plenty of four word pharses that only appear in two of the trilogy.

Yes, I was thinking the same thing; thanks Telcontar for 'nudging me'.

What four word *statement* can be found in both ROTK and The Hobbit?

Gee, I hadn't thought about that one. Maybe one more clarification, as I don't have time to see if this answer is correct and Serenoli doesn't seem too sure of it either.

What "declarative" statement of four words can be found in both The Hobbit and Return of The King?

that's it...no more clarification.if not guessed in 24hrs, I'll toss it to someone else.

But I am sure of it, cos Frodo mentions it to Sam in the Grey Havens chapter, when he's showing him the almost finished book. And as for any other phrase, hmm *rifles both books in hope of finding answer*... but really, its too hard. They're both pretty large, how're you supposed to remember all these four word stuff? Won't you give a hint, at least? Like who says it, when or why?

Actually Sam doesn't mention it...it is "read" to the reader and that's not the same.

However, since you went to the extreme and it is late, I'll give it to you.

You go.

and now to find something mindless on the tube

Today is tomorrow. (Oooooo, that was profound, huh? ) It's been 24 hours - should I post? To post or not to post, that is the question. Whether t'is nobler to wait for Curubethion, or plunge ahead. Hm.

Okey dokey doggie daddy. (That's from the movie True Romance, you guys if you were wondering! )

Butterbur informed Gandalf that "three and two" had been killed, killed dead! What was he referring to?

He was referring to the humans and the hobbits killed near Bree while the War of the Ring had been raging. Can I post the question I was intending to anyways?

BTW...you only waited 12 hours, Lotesse. I can understand your ire at my music preferences, but to take it this far...

It was exactly 24 hours, Curubethion; check the dates. Not only that, but you told us to post if you didn't get on.

You are correct; your turn.

Sorry I misread the post date on your post; swapped AM and PM mentally...

What creature is described as being a throat-biter?

Rconsole should post the next question as this has gotten confused with cross postings, late postings and correct postings.

But Rconsole didn't get it right. It referred to three big folk (men) and two little folk (hobbits.)

Go ahead & take it, though, Rconsole - maybe we can start from fresh with a new good question from you!
