Pervinca Took is a guest of Tom Bombadil.
Thumbs up

Yes. "Sounds like" because Brunel was an Isambard with an A (as well as a Kingdom!) and the Tookish personage was an Isembard with an E.

Teleporno: Galadriel’s lord – or a possible alter-ego thereof who might – ahem – indicate misuse of Mirror?
H: Halbarad initially joins the chaotic destruction visited upon him.
Eru: Ultravox’s leader returns? Be that as it may: he commands the music.
Beor: Garment disarrayed for this crosser of mountains.
Isembard: Tookish engineer? Sounds like it!
R: Alice Munro’s sister is perturbed before taking wing?
D: Company, in short, joins moped binge in confusion in the valley.
A: Rise high and mingle to find a water source.
N: Hungry baby in the Shire?
Dis: Contempt loses one dwarf, but leaves another?
Brill: Fab village which inspired Butterbur’s home?
Argon: Inert or noble grandson of Finwe?
Balin: Losing hair? Loses a couple of notes, too, but remains a valiant fellow.
Yestare: See tray is arranged for the special day.

Just had another read about Mr Brunel on Wikipedia. His mother, Sophia Kingdom, was the youngest of sixteen children! Whether one woman bore them all, though, I don't know.
