Eep - never thought of that!
Elanor is correct.
REMEMBER: INITIALS FORM THE PASSWORD, BUT THE CLUES HAVE BEEN JUMBLED UP.
1. Pale hesitation around a lovely maiden.
ELANOR: Beer sent back with a point - alternatively, a flower.
3. He says to partake of the vittles.
4. This chap is said to be incandescent.
5. Onomatopoeic tormenter.
6. The Spanish wanderer meanders in Gondor.
7. Fray begins. Musketeer loses way. War ends. Lord!
8. Loose a muddled detectives’ friend; it’s brilliant against the night.
EDIT: Re Mithalwen's last clues (the Balin one, specifically), I had clearly forgotten Turin's tomb, and Thorin's resting-place. Then it made me think of the rather odd scenario of a rebodied elf returning to Middle-earth and seeing his or her grave! But I think that, apart from Luthien and Glorfindel, they all remained in Valinor once rebodied. Don't know if Glorfindel had an individual grave (I guess the end of Gondolin was a messy business), but if so, it would have been deeply buried under water or earth after the War of Wrath.
I wonder if Beren and Luthien's bodies were buried, or if they returned to the original ones where they still lay. Not sure how much time (Middle-earth time) they were in Mandos for before being sent back. Valinor and Eressea etc were always outside mortal time, weren't they? It might be oddly similar (timewise) to going back through the wardrobe from Narnia.
