Smaug?

No, not Smaug. Look earlier in the story.

Beorn?

Your turn!

Thanks, Airwin!

Hope he rekindled, and in hope ended . . .

Merry I knew who it qwas about, but it took me sometime to work out who said it!

This is Gleowine, Theoden's minstrel singing as they raised the funeral mound over Theoden.

Good work, Gil! I'm always struck by what Tolkien tells us, that this minstrel never made another song after this funeral dirge. What a radical thing, especially for a fellow wordsmith.

You're turn--

thanks Merry!

"we have met before, [...] and I warned you not to come back here."

Level 1, I reckon!

the speaker had grown a lot during the journey, both physically and mentally!

So this must be Mippin. Merry?

Merry it is...Merry!

It's when they are back in the shire dealing with Saruman's southerners.

your turn!

Yes, I guess I should have gotten that one sooner!

I am on the road for the holidays and away from my books, but I'll have a new question up by Tuesday.

Okay, here's an easy one:

"He is a moss-gatherer, and I have been a stone doomed to rolling."

Who said this about whom?
