I forget now, but you're probably right. I actually thought it was in Minas Tirith.

I haven't actually looked it up, so I could certainly be wrong. Anyway, I must give you a new one.

(Continuation of the quote can be given as a clue.)

I believe that was Sam challenging Faramir to act honourably after he accidentally let slip a mention of the Ring. As I remember, it continues something like "as we say in the Shire", or "as the saying goes in the Shire" or something similar.

.... maybe it comes up twice. Lemme check.

You're right. I was thinking of another instance, by another Hobbit, and also followed by "as we say in the Shire", but a correct answer is a correct answer. Your go.

Ah, I had forgotten about that one. I guess Sam was right when he said it was a common saying.

Here's the new quote:
Quote:
A very ticklish business it was. Touch and go!

Feels like "The Hobbit", maybe referring to The Necromancer? Or finding Thrain in his dungeons?

You're right about The Hobbit, but not one of those examples.

Hint: he's talking about something that happened to them all just recently.

Escaping from the orcs in the Misty Mountains. He was telling Beorn.

Edit: Maybe telling Gwaihir?

Edit 2: Although actually I thought it was to Frodo in Rivendell, about their escape from the Barrow-wight.

They hadn't met Gwaihir or Beorn yet.

The escape from Goblintown? Just before 15 birds in 5 fir trees?
