Suddenly a voice broke out from the middle of the crowd:
"Come now, come now! We cannot only sing Andrew Lloyd Webber songs! Perhaps I should contribute?"
At this the crowd fell silent in dread.
"Iarwain is my name.
And I am eldest.
Some say that I am jolly,
Others argue that I'm a bore.
People even want to cut me
Out of Tolkien lore!
But I will not allow it,
Eldest I will be.
And such I will remain
Because I cannot alter Me."
After this, the talking and bustle resumed, almost unnafected. Iarwain walked away and began to look for the Saucepan Man.
