The Revived Tolkien Trivia

Correct assumption, your honor. And, surely, there's a library next to the courthouse?;)

There's usually a library IN the Courthouse, alas, the pickings on Tolkien there are, for some unknown reason:rolleyes:, very slim. Mind you, if you want an explanation of the Rule in Shelley's Case and the doctrine of worthier title, you'd probably do quite well. Understanding Shelley's Rule, however, is a different matter altogether.:confused:
 
Strangely enough (my father being former General Counsel for the Library of Congress), was aware of the libraries (however private and focused) in the courthouse, Clanny. Figured it to be a safe bet that Master Tolkien's works would not be found therein, as well. And, while there's not much "real property" involved in quote I'm looking for, "future interests" are dead on target. ;)
 
*Keels over*

Thud.

A Straight copy from the previous page ought to help those who....can't.....seem.....to.....click.....on.....page....129....down....below:rolleyes:
 
Oops. Should've used a smiley. I was just joshin'.:eek:

Here's the question for those who might be hunting:

All righty (sic) then. Our esteemed colleague The Judge is known to hold forth in many threads within these hallowed halls. Less well known (perhaps; I guess we will see) is the fact that she *cough cough* made a cameo appearance in at least one of our works in question. The work and quote, if you please.
 
After five moons in an opiate haze, seeking inspiration as to the answer from both the unseelie court and the Great Old Ones, it suddenly occurred to me that Grim's use of green colouring for "straight" wasn't random or accidental, but, by George, a clue!

But we who are all 'in the same boat' must not usurp the Judge.

Letters#181: To Michael Straight
 
Tsk.

If she would pick up the book in her local library (or better yet, buy the darn thing!) and read the letter, she'd be happier with the comparison, I am thinking.....I did say "cameo", didn't I?

Hare, you are The Man....er....Rabbit. Justice's scale (bedecked with 2 bells instead of tea saucers) is yours, and the extreme honor of posting the next challenge.

*Sits down next to Clanny*

"Now THIS is a mouse. You move it and the little arrow on the screen moves. If you move it down to where the page says '129'....." :D
 
Er, Hare? Did we lose you? Or did The Judge issue an injunction against this thread because her part wasn't bigger? :D
 
Sorry -- I am aware of my unharelike laggardliness, but all the decent questions I can think of off the top of my head are ones I've asked before! Please bear with me.

How about a side quest? How many bears appear in the Hobbit?
 
Off the top of my head, I think only one?

Anyway, here's my tardy question. Which particular plant (according to the quote you must provide) caused the change of a forest's name?

It was a trick question. Is a were-bear truly a bear? Maybe yes, maybe no.

No, not Beorn. I meant the teddy bear you can just about make out in Tolkien's drawing of the interior of Bag End in the last chapter. (Helps if you enlarge it to A1 size.)
 
This is a bit of a reach, but a tree, of course (perhaps?):

In the North also there had been war and evil. The realm of Thranduil was invaded, and there was long battle under the trees and great ruin of fire; but in the end Thranduil had the victory. And on the day of the New Year of the Elves, Celeborn and Thranduil met in the midst of the forest; and they renamed Mirkwood Eryn Lasgalen, The Wood of Greenleaves.

Not taking the clue-fishing bait, eh Hare?

All right, I'll put on my thinking helm. ;)
