I'm gonna....
V S, we love you man, but they're right. I read the whole thing over again......are we lookin' right at it and not seeing it? Or is it just that we are not understanding what you mean? Is it a direct quote?
Or is it just the context that Mhoram was right....
about Covenant being the white gold, or about returning to the land, or that "he seeks always to mislead you"?
I think I am going to have to cry uncle too. I am not one to give up, but I am stymied.

I looked for that quote too though the first 299 pages of WGW---there is something very close to that, but it never says verbatum, "Mhoram was right."

Mmmmmm, I'm sorry, I posted the quote without checking it first.
TC is talking to himself while on the sled and says that Mhoram was right when he let TC go and save the girl with the snakebite. He then remembers Mhoram's words to him when the Lord released him, which are repeated in my sig. I will look at my book when I get home and tell you exactly where this imaginary quote is tomorrow.

That's exactly what I was refering to
"I was wrong," he said to the empty dark. Perhaps no one heard him over the muffled sound of the runners in the snow. He did not want anyone to hear him. He was not speaking to be heard. He only wanted to fight off sleep, stay away from dreams, "I should have listened to Mhoram."
The memory was like a dream: it had the strange immanence of dreaming. But he clung to it because it was more tolerable than Hamako's death.
When High Lord Mhoram had tried to summon him to the Land for the last battle against Lord Foul, he, Covenant, had resisted the call. In his own world, a small girl had just been bitten by a timber-rattler--a lost child who needed his help. He had refused Mhoram and the Land in order to aid that girl.
And Mhoram had replied, (

Sorry all, that was pretty bad.
Cate, since you are new here, why don't you give it a go next.

Ok, thanks, Variol Son. I shall do my best.

Terrible memory for anything except what I read
"You are strange. You transpose wisdom and jest - you reverse their meanings."

That would be Elena...
The Illearth War, Chapter 9: Glimmermere...
As she repeated Ended, she struck the floor with the Staff's iron heel. An instant of bright blue fire ignited in the air. The stone lurched under Covenants feet, and he nearly fell. But she quenched her power almost at once; it passed like a momentary intrusion of nightmare. Before he could regain his balance, she caught his arm and steadied him.
"Ah, you must pardon me," she said with a look like laughter. "I forgot myself."
He braced his feet, tried to determine whether or not he could still trust the floor. The stone felt secure. "Give me fair warning next time," he muttered, "so I can sit down."
The High Lord broke into clear laughter, then subdued herself abruptly. "Your pardon again, Thomas Covenant. But your expression is so fierce and foolish."
"Forget it," he replied. He found that he liked the sound of her laugh. "Ridicule may be the only good answer."
"Is that a proverb from your world? Or are you a prophet?"
"A little of both."
"You are strange. You transpose wisdom and jest you reverse their meanings."
"Is that a fact?"
"Yes, ur-Lord Covenant," she said lightly, humorously. "That is a fact." Then she appeared to remember something. "But we must go. I think we are expected. And you have never seen the upland. Will you come with me?"
