I don't recognise it :(. Is it just after Pippin looks in the Palantir?

:rolleyes: Go get your book, and really look for it this time, instead of guessing randomly! ;)
(Or you could cheat by searching inside the book at Amazon. :twisted: :lol: )

Gollum to Frodo at the cross-roads.

Good thing you gave that hint, A# - that quote could apply to the whole book! ;)


A long way for us all, but yours has been the darkest road.

Hey! Looking in the book is cheating .. we're supposed to do this from memory!

I think Leslie's is Gandalf to Frodo .. erm .. somewhere near the end *looks a bit vague*

Nope--although you are tepid.

From memory? That wasn't quite clear at the beginning-but I suppose that's what "guess" means. :/ I don't mind doing it from memory from now on, at least for identifying quotes, as long as everyone else is too. But I can't produce quotes from memory.
