[Voronwë the Faithful]

I certainly don't!

[Frelga]

*gasp*

No, I meant I didn't look it up in the book. And then I realized that I can in fact open the book on my phone.

New quote.

But thieves rarely return to the stables.

[Voronwë the Faithful]

That one I recognized right away. I still needed to look it up to confirm the correct quote. Aragorn to the Rohirrim when he, Legolas, Gimli and the White Rider arrive at Meduseld riding the horses lent to them by Éomer:

"But seldom does thief ride home to the stable."

[Frelga]

That's it. Your turn.

[Voronwë the Faithful]

Here's the new one.

understood! The hunt is over and we finally meet again. I didn't expect anyone to come there.

[Jude]

Is this something to do with the three hunters being reunited with their friends?

[Voronwë the Faithful]

It is!

[Jude]

"Well, well! The hunt is over, and we meet again at last, where nnone of us ever thought to come," said Aragorn.

[Voronwë the Faithful]

That's it!

[Jude]

New quote:

But I lie down under a tall tree and wait for the clouds to pass.

[Voronwë the Faithful]

I do that all the time!

[Frelga]

Is that from a song?

[Jude]

Yes it is!

[Jude]

So you’ve narrowed it down - another hint needed?

[Alatar]

Bilbo's walking song?

[Jude]

No - they're not walking when they sing this song.

[Frelga]

Singular they?

[Alatar]

Its from "Ho! Ho! Ho! to the bottle I go"

"But under a tall tree I will lie, and let the clouds go sailing by"

Assuming I'm right...

From the top of the hill we had a great view of the surroundings and could see lots of birds and animals watching over us.

[Jude]

That's correct!

[Voronwë the Faithful]

Is this said by a Hobbit?
