Re: The Tolkien Translation Game!
So it's spoken by Thorin, but is not related to Bilbo breaking them out of the Elvenking's palace?

Yes, both of those things are true.

To bring to new page:
Was this spoken when they were arguing about whether or not Bilbo should come with them on their quest?There is no doubt that it will be very soothing. Goodbye! If you don't want to come with me, just leave without further discussion!

No, later (but earlier than Bilbo breaking them out of the Elvenking's palace).

Here we are:
Thorin grumbling about Gandalf leaving them as they headed towards Mirkwood."Very comforting you are to be sure. Good-bye! If you won't come with us, you had better get off without any more talk!"

Butterbur, after Gandalf and the Hobbits finally convinced him that Strider was the new King. "Well, this has been the nicest chat I’ve had in a month of Mondays."

Correct, Inanna? I can't imagine that it is something else, but I don't want to post a new one until I get confirmation.

Does "it" refer to a palantír?
