The Tolkien Quoting Trivia - Page 45 - Science Fiction Fantasy Chronicles: forums

Grimward gets the prize! I guess he also gets to ask another question.

Aw, crap.

Grimward · 21st May 2008, 12:29 AM

Thanks Py, but (as can be seen), I was worried about how vague it was to begin with... with your agreement folks will rather defer to Marky, who did indeed get the quote. ( No worries then, Clanny?!!

)

*Ting*

The floor is yours, Marky!

Marky Lazer · 21st May 2008, 07:22 PM

Okay then. Who has orange-red ears?

Marky Lazer · 23rd May 2008, 12:29 PM

Just as Grim, I took out a "trigger-word" which I'm going to put into the question now

Who has scarlet ears?

Marky Lazer · 27th May 2008, 02:54 PM

Are we too busy or too clueless?

Grimward · 27th May 2008, 03:55 PM

A little of both, Marky. Still gnawing at it, though.....(want my Letters book back!)

Clansman · 27th May 2008, 03:59 PM

clueless. I'm stumped.

Boaz · 27th May 2008, 04:24 PM

Samwise?

Marky Lazer · 27th May 2008, 07:27 PM

Yes, but you might want to have a look at post number one, Boaz.

Boaz · 27th May 2008, 10:06 PM

Yeah, I don't have any books anymore and that's a tragedy unto itself. So I won't really play since I cannot give citations or quotes... I'll just lurk and provide hints and suggestions.

I just seem to remember that Sam's automatic response when addressed by female elves was to turn red. Or maybe Sam wanted to punch out Ted, I misremember.

Marky Lazer · 1st June 2008, 04:20 PM

This was the answer:

Quote:

'Step forward, Sam!' said Merry; and Sam stood up with a face scarlet up to the ears.

LOTR, FOTR I, Ch. 5 A Conspiracy Unmasked

For the taker, I can't think of any good questions any longer.

Grimward · 1st June 2008, 06:55 PM

Ah, sorry Marky, I didn't read "up to his ears" to include Sam's ears, even after Boaz's hint (a bit addle-pated at times, I am!).

Right then, for whom would life and death be a curse?

(Tremble, Clanny, tremble; it's a grim question in more ways than one!)

Grimward · 6th June 2008, 04:32 AM

*looks around, nervously*

Oh dear, I've killed the thread.

Um, OK, another clue....

There are (that I can think of) 2 correct answers, but only one place where the sought after quote lies....

Marky Lazer · 6th June 2008, 08:41 AM

I know an answer, but I don't have a new question to ask.

Clansman · 6th June 2008, 05:25 PM

I think I know the answer, but I don't have the quote yet.

Patience, Grasshopper.
