Who Said It?

Merry, this one is itching at the back of my mind. I know I know it, but can I remember????

Is it said to or by a dwarf?

"You have grown big since you were last here; but it is mostly fat, I guess."

Well it's definitely to either Merry or Pippen that's for sure.

Gil I thought at one point it was Gimli but maybe it's when the Hobbits come back to Hobbiton and is said by one of their own. I remember slightly a comment was said to them there.

This was not said to a member of the Fellowship, but it is found in a LOTR volume. It was not said by or to a dwarf or hobbit, although I can surely understand why one would think so!

It's a nasty comment, isn't it. Total guess: is it Denethor to Faramir?

No!

Another hint: appendices.

The moment you said appendices I thought Helm. And it is, it's Helm to Freca who was asking for Helm's daughter to marry his son Wulf. Not an answer guaranteed to be well received...

well done Gil.

Yes, indeed! Those Rohirrim are blunt enough at times, I guess!

Your turn, Gil.

Thanks Merry! sorry for a delay in replying but my internet connection went down for 3 days!!!!!

Anyway, lets have another unfriendly comment:

"One thief deserves another"

Fairly easy I think!!!!

Sounds fairly Hobbitish to me

Gil · Post by **Gil** » Tue Nov 20, 2007 4:08 pm

guess again!!!

I'm thinking it's an orc that said those words.

I think it might be Saruman--something about Mippin's tobacco pouch?

Well done Merry, Saruman it is!

Over to you.

It did sound like a Saruman-type moral principle! I'm away from my books right now, so I'll post a quote Sunday night when I get home.
