Hmm... you mean wolves, right?
I didn't find that sentence in the Company's battle with the Wargs, or when they heard wolves howl on the way to Isengard. I'm currently in the middle of LotR, so either I've passed the passage or I'll get to it eventually...

yup, wolves... sorry
and they aren't where you think they would be

The next sentence is: The Ents stopped the inflow in the night, and sent the Isen back into its old course. From Flotsam and Jetsam.

On its further side the woods gathered again, blue and grey under the sullen evening, and marched on southwards.

looks hard... doesn't say anything definate, or that i can look up, or that is special to one part of the book... i will find it soon though i hope

andustar

Please, by all means take your time. I am in no hurry. Yes, it was deliberately selected to give no obvious clues. I have faith that the answer will be found, judging by the cleverness of some of the observations made which I have read here in Entmoot.

What book is that from etherealunicorn? (Love the name!) ...Or are you allowed to tell?

WANT HINT HINT HINT!!!!! THIS IS IMPOSSIBLE!!!!
no really, its too hard! be warned, i have an even worse one prepared for you... but i will give you a hint with it.
please can we have a hint???

No sweat about a hint. I would have been back yesterday with one but we had company and then I lost my bookmark for it, but here it is now.
Book Four after Faramir

and i was looking at all the fangorn and hourn references!!!!

i have the answer!!!!! woooohoooo! :rollin:

ok, from journey to the cross roads, next sentance is: to the right the mountains of Gondor glowed, Remote in the west, under the fire flecked sky.
My sentance is ver hard, so a clue in two days unless someone gets it. (unlikely, but possible)

'The Hobbits were silent for some time.'

HAH lets see you

Found it at last.
To the right the Mountains of Gondor glowed, remote in the West, under a fire-flecked sky.


Here's one
All that heard that sound trembled.

Here it is, Andustar:
In Treebeard, next line; 'They felt, oddly enough, safe and comfortable, and they had a great deal to think and wonder about.'
Haven't found yours just yet, Finduilas, but I will be back.

In the meantime, here is my next installment, probably not much of a challenge: 'Fear would have destroyed them.'
Have fun

I found it, Finduilas
In Helm's Deep, next sentence is: 'Many of the Orcs cast themselves on their faces and covered their ears with their claws.'

it will get very confusing if we have TWO threads going... (finduilas, i got there first!)

i wasn't excpecting anyone to get it without a hint. wow!

What can I say, I have a trivial mind :lol: :lol: :lol:
But seriously, you can't read this stuff for 20 years without something rubbing off. The sentences jog the memory, then it is just a case of remembering where I saw it before.
Believe me, if you keep reading LotR long enough, it WILL start to leak out of your ears, lol

Thats for sure. When I answered the last one and set up the 2 at the same time, there was no other answer there.

i posted it while you were still writing it then. never mind.
20 years of tolkien??? i haven't been alive for that long! but its true what you said about the quote, happens to me too

OK i think we need a hint here...:lol:

PLEASE may we have a hint?????
