Who Said It?

[Merry]

It might be a translation issue, Michka, you're right. Here's a good clue: it happens around the Battle of the Five Armies.

[Merry]

Happy March, everyone--spring is near!

Time to put this question to rest, I think. The speaker here is poor Bilbo, miserable at the Battle of the Five Armies at what is going on. It is very near the end of the chapter "The Clouds Burst". Michka, I'd be interested to know how this is translated into French--it is somewhat of an idiom.

Here is another to ponder, keeping the theme of misery: Who asked, "Who are these miserable persons?"?

[MICHKA]

Eh,bien j'ai trouvé cette petite phrase, enfin, dans le chapitre ''Les nuées éclatent'' et c'est Bilbo qui pense ''Misère de moi! ' je vais essayer de trouver l'autre référence à la 'misère', merci ,Merry

[MICHKA]

C'est le Grand Gobelin dans le chapitre''La montagne sous la montagne''. Qui a dit:''Pas le temps maintenant!''?

Here is another to ponder, keeping the theme of misery: Who asked, "Who are these miserable persons?"?

The Mayor of Laketown? I know this quote but I'm scratching my head for who said it.

[MICHKA]

Philipa, j'ai répondu à cette question, vous n'avez pas vu? C'est le grand gobelin, sous la montagne, et depuis il y a une nouvelle question, alors qui aura la bonne réponse? à vos jeux!!!

[Philipa]

OK Micka I see your quote now. But I don't have a guess who said it. I have to give it some thought.

[MICHKA]

un indice peut-être? Les héros sont en situation périlleuse ''Liquide'', ok?

[Merry]

A very helpful clue! This is the raftsman who was helping to shove the barrels toward Laketown, some of them with dwarves inside! They noticed that some of the barrels were floating deeper than others and were wanting to see what was in them, but the raftsman said that there was no time for this.

Here's another question: Who said, "I hear your breath"?

[MICHKA]

Je pense à Smaug, quand Bilbo s'est approché invisible par son anneau, page 230/ ''Information secrète''/
Si la réponse est bonne, voici: qui dit''Vous ne savez pas tout''?

[Merry]

Yes, indeed--that was quick!

Your turn--

[MICHKA]

Eh bien, je repose ma question: Qui a dit: ''Vous ne savez pas tout''?
j'espère qu'il y a encore des joueurs ,malgré la période sombre que nous vivons

[Merry]

Yes, it has been quiet around here, Michka! I think we have taken our Tolkien discussions over to our sister-site, Viggo Works.

I'll look this weekend. Is it in The Hobbit?

[MICHKA]

Yes, bon jeu; je pars 15 jours mais pourrais peut-être me connecter, à bientôt

[Merry]

I hope you have a nice trip, Michka--a nice vacation?

I found it! Bilbo says it to Smaug as a taunt.

Did I find it in time?
