I think Boromir was already dead.

Eomer?

When Halbarad brought word to those he met near Isen, Boromir was probably dead - but I think this was far earlier than that.

I think this was soon after the Company had left Lothlorien, when they were discussing Galadriel's parting gifts. If that logic is wrong, I don't know who could have said it ...

OK - I hadn't thought of that.

We'll see... once Midge helps us continue our speaker guessing!

Nope. Did I find a passage that the illustrious Varna and Val both forgot about???

Could it be Legolas, then?

I think the next speaker is Gimli, saying 'at least she sent you some words'. And then my first setting would have been too early.

It's a real challenge, this - and it's great fun!

It was Legolas. They had just met back up with Gandalf, who had come to Fangorn through Lothlorien and had messages for each of them from Galadriel. Gimli was sad she didn't say anything to him, and Legolas was trying to console him by telling him that he didn't get what she said.

So that was when he was sad about her missing words.
A very interesting quote hunt!

The next one isn't a very long one, but it's what I'm providing at the moment

"V_r_/w_l_/./I_/i_/n_/g_o_/s_y_n_/a_y/_o_e/./
_t_c_/t_/y_u_/p_a_/-/y_u_/w_o_e/_l_n/,/_i_d/

f_r/_o_/,/a_d/_o_/a_l/_f/_s/."

"Very well. It is no good saying any more.
/_t_c_/ to your plan - your whole plan,
mind - and I hope it will turn out for the best,
for you, and for all of us."

Drawing a blank on this speaker too!

You are forgetting not only your family history,

If any/_a_e/_o_/might have_o_i_e_/that one

That would be a must unusual/_r_a_e_t/_o_/a/_i_e/_r_l_!

Just to get the ball rolling...

Wrong words boldeth...

Except that which is boldeth and italicizeth and Underlineth - is a correction, where I was careleth and typeth in the wrong word.

In any case, you might have noticed that one
of them has an old bird's nest behind his ear.
That would be a most unusual ? for a live troll...

Those solves are all correct.

Leaves you with two words and one speaker to go!

And the speaker is again Gandalf.

I don't know the last word, though ...

Sorry - Gandalf is not the speaker, and "race" is not correct (it looks like Midge carried over the wrong letters from a missed word into her updated quote).

Yes - "come" is correct, and Aragorn was the speaker. One word left.

This is the update:

"You are forgetting not only your family history,
but all you ever knew about trolls.
It is broad daylight with a bright sun,
and yet you come back trying to scare me with
a tale of live trolls waiting for us in this glade!
