Last week’s quote came from The Chronicles of Narnia: The Silver Chair by C.S. Lewis, Chapter 12: “The Queen of Underland”.

Katie correctly guessed everything, and Micaiah, Ellen, and Juliana guessed the book and author–and Juliana gets brownie-points (again) because I love the way she just describes what part of the book it happens in, instead of saying what chapter it is!

Okay, I’ve quoted this one before, but it’s been a while:

“We’ll follow as best we can,” [he] said.  He stared again at [it].  “He must be very desperate, or very frightened, or very stupid, or very brave.”  “Very all four I should think,” the Prince replied.

And I decided to throw in two, since there are so many good “Mystery Quote” quotes in that book:

. . . and surely sooner of later, there would be an answering “yes.”  But it didn’t come sooner.  And later wasn’t the kind of thing you wanted to hold your breath for either.

Happy guessing!

Last week’s quote was from The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring by J.R.R. Tolkien, Chapter 18: “Lothlorien”.

Spencer J Rothfuss got the right trilogy, and Juliana got the trilogy, book, and author–and some brownie-points for saying The Lord of the Rings is her favorite book series.  Great minds think alike! 🙂

Another one of the best books ever written for this week:

”  One word.  All you’ve been saying is quite right, I shouldn’t wonder.  I’m a chap who always liked to know the worst and then put the best face I can on it.  So I won’t deny any of what you said.  But there’s one thing more to be said, even so.  Suppose we have only dreamed, or made up, all those things–trees and grass and sun and moon and stars. . . Suppose we have.  Then all I can say is that, in that case, the made-up things seem a good deal more important than the real ones.  Suppose this black pit of a kingdom of yours is the only world.  Well, it strikes me as a pretty poor one.  And that’s a funny thing, when you come to think of it.  We’re just babies making up a game, if you’re right.  But four babies playing a game can make a play-world which licks your real world hollow.  That’s why I’m going to stand by the play-world.”

I always liked this quote!  (And, by the way, it’s less weird in context! 🙂 )

Happy guessing!

Twenty-three! 🙂

Last week’s quote was from The Birds’ Christmas Carol by Kate Douglas Wiggin, Chapter 2: “Drooping Wings”.

Wonderful, wonderful book (if you don’t mind bittersweet endings that make you cry).  Brownie-points for Mama for being the only one to correctly guess this book!  And now this week we have one of my favorite quotes from one of my favorite books.  Can’t you just see this gorgeous scene in your head?

It was rather a pretty little picture, for the sisters sat together in the shady nook, with sun and shadow flickering over them, the aromatic wind lifting their hair and cooling their hot cheeks, and all the little wood people going on with their affairs as if these were no strangers but old friends.

Beautiful, isn’t that?  Happy guessing!

I really haven’t posted all week?  Guess not.  We’ve been fairly busy, and high-school never helps that!  Anyway, I’m back now:

Last week’s quote was from The Hobbit  by J.R.R. Tolkien, Chapter 18: “The Return Journey”.

Juliana and Spencer J Rothfuss guessed the title, and Micaiah guessed everything else.  Savannah Perran, Ellen, Skylar Perran, Jaidyn Perran, and Katie get half-credit. 🙂  Starting now though,

You need to make your guess before you read other peoples’ comments.

It’s just too easy when five people comment and say the same thing!

Anyway, this week’s quote:

Love could do nothing; and when we have said that we have said all, for it is stronger than anything else in the whole wide world.

Happy guessing!
