[Voronwë the Faithful]

Do you have a guess, Inanna?

[Inanna]

I forgot to look it up yesterday . If anyone else has an idea, please go ahead.

[Jude]

Okay, I found it, but only because of Inanna's guesses. Do you want to go for it, Inanna?

[Inanna]

Go for it Jude. I'm out of the house. And I Forgot (again)

[Jude]

"Either you help me to look for him, or I go and leave you here to get out of the mess as best as you can yourselves."

This is after they escaped from the goblins, and then realized that Bilbo wasn't with them.

[Voronwë the Faithful]

It actually included the previous sentence as well: "I brought him, and I don't bring things that are of no use." How it got from that long sentences to the two short ones I can't even imagine.

Your turn.

[Jude]

New one:

Well, a friend of the young master of the Underhill must stop my little story.

[Inanna]

Is it in Bree? Spoken about Gandalf?

[Jude]

It's in Bree...

[Inanna]

Aragorn? Or one of the Bree hobbits.

[Jude]

Are you talking about the speaker, or the subject?

Hidden text.

Aragorn is the speaker

[Inanna]

Was talking about the Speaker, thanks.

I really need to get The Hobbit for my kindle. Else I will forget to look up this exact quote too.

[Jude]

There should be enough clues now to narrow it down, but is another hint needed?

[Inanna]

Well, Master Underhill, if I were you, I should stop your friends from talking too much.

[Jude]

Correct! Your turn.

[Inanna]

Here you go:

I am all the poor girl to go abroad. She wasn't. Even though she has spoken.

[Inanna]

Hint needed? It's from the Lord of the Rings. The meaning is totally mangled, but some key words remain.

[Voronwë the Faithful]

Is it Sam to Frodo: "‘It seems she didn’t like my going abroad at all, poor lass; but as I hadn’t spoken, she couldn’t say so."

[Inanna]

You got it. Your turn.

[Voronwë the Faithful]

Sam! have a chance of getting the United States to escape the Wolf in his house.
