Heheheh, but are you sure he wasn't hoping you'd do just that?

All correct so far.

Well, based on past history, I figured he wouldn't mind too much.

Don't mind at all! Not exactly hoping for it... more just hoping to get my own rear in gear. I think my habits have changed - and the times I pop on now are for very brief intervals, not long enough to hunt up a quote and post it. *sigh*

Thanks though - Midge!

And you didn't even try to solve a bit of the quote?

Hesitant to exert myself to a full solve, since I failed so miserably in not getting up a post from last time!

"Indeed, if it were not for the Beornings,
the passage from Dale to Rivendell would
long ago have become impossible. They are
valiant men and keep open the High Pass and
the Ford of Carrock. But their tolls are high,
and like Beorn of old they are not over fond
of Dwarves. Still, they are trusty, and that
is much in these days."

~ Gloin

Couldn't resist solving a little more anyway - and the rest just flowed out.

Well, maybe we could ease up on the rule where last solver posts the quote and just make it so that if the quote is solved, someone posts a quote.

The quote is now solved, with speaker.

Sounds fine to me. Or maybe make it that while the solver still has a moral obligation to provide a new quote, others may jump in if they feel like without hard feelings.

Heck, I'll bite. I don't think anyone will mind much right now.

"M_n_/a_e/_h_/s_r_n_e/_h_n_e_/o_/t_e/_o_l_/a_d/_e_p/_f_/s_a_l/_o_e/_r_m/ _h_/h_n_s/_f/_h_/w_a_/w_e_/t_e/_i_e/_a_t_r/."

Not an easy one, I think. Feel free to prove me worng.

Aaaand proven wrong in mere three minutes, must be a new record.

Gandalf it is. The occasion is a meeting with Elrond after a visit to Dol Guldur in the chapter Of Rings of Power and the Third Age in The Silmarilion.
