Who Said It?

Yes Riv, it's Melian and yes, it's from the Sil....she's talking to Galadriel in the chapter "Of the coming of men into the West" .

Over to you.

OK...Level 2...

Who says:

"There is always more about you than anyone expects!"

Extra credit if you also know who it was spoken to.

I think this is Gandalf to Bilbo from the chapter "A thief in the night" in the Hobbit.

Well done Gil!!

That line in retrospect, always makes me wonder if the entire Lord of the Rings story was already percolating in Tolkien's imagination while writing The Hobbit. It seems so apropos for much of the sentiment in that larger story.

Your turn Gil!

Thanks Riv Res!

Here's my quote then, it's a level 2.

Who said "... we have a hard road ahead, the worst road of all."

In my blurry eyed state I'm guessing Gollum?

I think that this is something that Frodo says to Sam when they are in the Dead Marshes.

Absolutely right Riv Res!

Over to you!

OK then...Level 1

The road must be trod, but it will be very hard. And neither strength nor wisdom will carry us far upon it.

I think we should guess more here, so I'll guess Elrond. Sounds like one of those enigmatic Elrond things.

That's right Merry.

At the Council.

You're up.

You're kidding. Well, I should have bought a lottery ticket today!

Here's a nice line that the Professor must have enjoyed using:

"Well, this has been the nicest chat I've had in a month of Mondays."

Level 1

I'll take a guess at this . . . it sounds hobbit-y, and possibly as though the speaker is trying to hurry away . . .

. . . Bilbo to Smaug, perhaps?

Merry · Post by **Merry** » Wed Aug 29, 2007 2:46 pm

It does sound hobbit-y, marbretherese, but it's not--big clue! Good guess, though.

Gil · Post by **Gil** » Thu Aug 30, 2007 6:09 pm

Hobbity but not???

I'll make a wild guess at Gollum?
