Wrong, jo. Try again.

Your quote is rather obvious, don't you think? being the last line in the book.

Once again, I'm sorry, jo. You're right. That last post of mine did sound a little harsh. Apologies.

Gloin talking with Frodo in the house of Elrond.


"'Well, master, we're in a fix and no mistake,' said Sam Gamgee."

Ah, but where and when did he say it? :grin: eh?

Argh ... I THINK this might be where Frodo and Faramir stand behind the waterfall looking down at the pool but I'm not sure. Either that or it's on Amon Hen but my answer will be the first one. I will wait for confirmation before proceeding though :)

Gandalf telling Legolas, Aragorn, and Gimli that they must have seen Saruman in Fangorn and not himself.

I THINK it might be Treebeard to Wormtongue? Actually thinking about it it's probably not. My second guess would be Theoden to a messenger that he saw approaching him from Helm's Deep as he came there.
