Pervinca Took is a guest of Tom Bombadil.
1. A magic one to meet a giant, but muddled, and a dwarf’s property?
2. Clematis, myrtle, irises, anemones and thyme grow here.
3. They’re discoloured, in Errantry – but use a generic term.
4. A gift to a lady in convalescence.
5. Used for a sea-lover’s arrows – but prepared like a sheep?
6. It seems to jump state to shining glass, both in a dream and a real, final vision.
7. At mete wel y-taught was she with-alle. She leet no morsel from hir lippes falle.
8. A bloom to greet a princess.
9. Dull of raiment, and a lord of dull people? Hardly!
SIGNATURES: Seven required on Shire wills.
HOLDWINE'S SCAR: A mark left by orcish first-aid.
12. A Hornblower, and a Wesleyan? But not strange, we hear.
13. Land a confused broad around a London suburb, via the bank?
14. It shines upon a mariner’s breast.
15. Frodo’s - aflame? In a tower?

Not a Silmaril.

Needed an H, so calling Merry Holdwine, like Eomer & Co did.

The seven signatures required for Shire wills are mentioned very early in LOTR, (very soon after the Long-Expected Party, in fact), when OTHO (remember him? ) is about to contest Bilbo's will, and realises that he can't. Bilbo has made it watertight. And Sackville-Baggins-proof. With the legally required seven signatures in red ink.

Neither Shhhhh nor Ssssss nor any variants thereof are the password, I'm afraid.
