Thanks! :)

Just peeking in to say "hi" and to let you know that I'm sitting this one out - very busy real life days mean that I have to cut all other activities to a bare minimum. Good luck to those of you who continue on; I'll join in again in a couple of weeks or so...

Since those who worked so hard to guess the letters in this quote don't seem inclined to finish, I will do so. It's to be found in The Adventures of Tom Bombadil, and Tom himself is the speaker, addressing the Barrow-wight.
