Neither brave nor silly, I think.

I could hardly help myself.

How about this:

For a moment Frodo stood gaping.

I think Finduilas' "Neither brave nor silly I think." was a quote Lief. Everyone should put there quotes into quotation marks so there aren't mistakes made like that, it took me a minute to remember that I think I have heard that one. BTW I know the speaker, but not the part were it is said; and since I'm at a friend's house I don't have access to my books that I know better than his.

I know that "Neither brave nor silly I think" was a quote, Morkhon. And "I could hardly help myself" was the next sentence. Merry next said, "I seemed to be drawn, somehow." It was at the scene in the Fellowship of the Ring where the black riders use the black breath on Merry in Bree.

I know that one! I know that one! But I can't...find...the book!! AAAARGH!

Ah, sorry my mistake Leif. I guess that means you get to give the next quote.

I guess I was a little bit to abrupt in my first post. I already told my next quote. "For a moment Frodo stood gaping" was my next one. I guess I should have put it in quotation marks. My mistake.

"Then in desperation he began a ridiculous song that Bilbo had been rather proud of,....."

How about...."To Minas Tirith before the seas of war surround it."

I know this! I just got through rereading the first half of TT. Gandalf is speeding on Shadowfax with Pippin to Minas Tirith, instead of Helm's Deep, after seeing the Nazgul.

"Oh! How far is that?" (Pippin)

Here's one:

"Here you find us sitting on a field of victory, amid the plunder of armies and you wonder how we came by a few well-earned comforts!"

I knew I'd heard that one the moment I read it, and I just happened to have the Two Towers on hand.

"Well earned?" said Gimli. "I cannot believe that!"

Here's your next one:

"What has happened since we came back to this grim place in the gray morning?" (Return of the King)

Surely someone can get this? I'll give you guys a few more days and then write a new one.

I've been scanning the book for days and couldn't find it! I knew it had to have something to do with the Battle at Helm's Deep!

This is Legolas speaking to Aragorn at the Burg. The next sentence is:

'A struggle somewhat grimmer for my part that the Battle of the Hornburg,' answered Aragorn.

Yaaaaaaaaay! That one was tough!

"...Go in peace! I will not say: do not weep; for not all tears are an evil." RotK

Then Frodo kissed Merry and Pippin, and last of all Sam, and went aboard; and the sails were drawn up, and the wind blew, and the ship slipped away down the long grey firth; and the light of the glass of Galadriel that Frodo bore glimmered and was lost.

Next
Their going was very slow.

Ooch! That one's a bit vague, so perhaps you could help by telling which book it's from.

Fellowship of the Rings

I thought so, although every other Lord of the Rings fan in the house told me that it was probably from The Return of the Kings.

Now if I can just remember where it's from . . .

Thanks for the hint! There are actually very similar passages in both of the other books. This one is used however when the 4 hobbits leave Tom Bombadil and go in search of the road through the Downs.

To prevent their getting separated and wandering in different directions they went in file, with Frodo leading.
