"There is Evil Afoot"
Who said the following and on what occasion:
1. "There is evil afoot in Isengard, and the West is no longer safe. It is as Gandalf feared: by some means the traitor Saruman has had news of our journey."
AnswerAragorn, on discovering Orcs wearing Saruman's emblem.
2. "The world is all grown strange. Elf and Dwarf in company walk in our daily fields: and folk speak with the Lady of the Wood and yet live..."
AnswerÉomer, to Aragorn, at their first meeting.
3. "My dear tender little fools, everything you have, and every-thing you know, will be got out of you in due time: everything! You’ll wish there was more that you could tell to satisfy the Questioner, indeed you will: quite soon.
Answer Grishnákh, to Merry and Pippin, at the edge of Fangorn Forest.
4. "Curse him, root and branch! Many of those trees were my friends, creatures I had known from nut and acorn; many had voices of their own that are lost forever now. And there are wastes of stump and bramble where once there were singing groves.
AnswerFangorn, to Merry and Pippin, talking about Saruman.
5. "The Dark Lord has Nine: But we have One, mightier than they: the White Rider. He has passed through the fire and the abyss, and they shall fear him."
AnswerAragorn, to Gandalf, after meeting him in Fangorn Forest.
6. "A burden you have been, but not so now. Light as a swan’s feather in my claw you are. The Sun shines through you. Indeed I do not think you need me any more: were I to let you fall, you would float upon the wind."
AnswerGwaihir the Windlord, to Gandalf, on rescuing him from the top of Celebdil.
7. "Do you bring men? Do you bring horses, swords, spears? That I would call aid; that is our present need. But who are these that follow at your tail? Three ragged wanderers in grey, and you yourself the most beggar-like of the four!"
AnswerWormtongue, to Gandalf, at Meduseld.
8. "A witless worm you have become. Therefore be silent, and keep your forked tongue behind your teeth. I have not passed through fire and death to bandy crooked words with a serving man till the lightning falls."
AnswerGandalf, to Wormtongue, at Meduseld.
9. "Most of all I owe to you, my guest. Once again you have come in time. I would give you a gift ere we go, at your own choosing. You have only to name aught that is mine. I reserve now only my sword."
AnswerThéoden, to Gandalf, to repay him for exposing Wormtongue.
10. "That is not the road that you must take. I have spoken words of hope. But only of hope. Hope is not victory. War is upon us and all our friends, a war in which only the use of the Ring could give us surety of victory."
AnswerGandalf, to Aragorn, about going after Merry and Pippin.
