I hope no-one's been playing Chamber of Secrets with the snakes.

I can quite understand it. The swoonage, that is.

Here's a good one, but maybe rather obscure. Hints available if necessary.

"To the anvil. The hammer will at least keep the arms strong until they can wield sharper tools again."

Ooh, that's a toughie. Balin and Dwalin, I think, but separately.

Gandalf to the Fellowship, in the snow.

OK, I hope this isn't too obscure, but I think you'll get it. It kept most of its significant bits, though it's mixed them rather badly.

Quote:

I have my Lord, I will now pass to the more dangerous, the fate of Gondor came back to their other tasks, you must call before the time.

Yep! Though it was "for eyes to see that can", which I presume means something like a faded Elf.

That's a great line. I love the way Gandalf speaks.

Then I'll call it her packed lunch. It makes as much sense as any other explanation I can think of.

I fail to see why the father should be such a news subject - his sons were obviously of age. Yes, it's a weird kind of attack, but I agree that it should be dealt with. I'm extremely hazy on law, but there's something about non-lethal assault, surely?

Alatar: it is indeed. I've been singing that today (to two tunes!)

Jude: :nod: I guess you wouldn't have put the sig up to give it away. So what's the original cartoon say, before someone made it Melkor and Ungoliant? (And what's with the rabbit? Is it Ungoliant's packed lunch?)

As Frodo lay recovering from the wound of the Morgul-blade, what did Gandalf think he might become in appearance?

With that information, I was sure it was "A feast would be no good, if we never got back alive from it," but I ran that through TP and it wasn't! Nor was it "No one is to stir from hiding till I say" (which admittedly was rather less likely). But I can't get any sense of even par...

"An Elven-maid there was of old,
A shining star by day:
Her mantle white was hemmed with gold,
Her shoes of silver-grey."

Ohhh. And I was searching Thorin's letter to Bilbo, and Bilbo's bargaining before the Battle of the Five Armies.

But I still can't find it.

Jude, did you put your quote in your sig before or after it being answered? :blackeye: Alatar: Beren to Thingol. After which Beren named himself Camlost. But it was true that the Silmaril was in his hand, because when they caught Carcharoth, Beren's hand was still intact inside him until they remove...

A green stone - a beryl, an elfstone. Placed there by Glorfindel after he drove off two Nazgul.

Thanks, Jude!

Ohh. I've a vague idea about Scarborough Fair, but I don't know the tune because I've never heard anyone sing it. *Googles a midi*
(Don't bother linking me to a video. I can't watch them.)

Ugh. I'm sure that's the place, but I might have the wrong speaker. Am I allowed to look this one up?

Silwen, how could it be horrible? And I think it's quite elegant.

*goes back to lurking*
