Pipe Minor resurgence

My pleasure.

Hilary Tolkien used to have a farm with pear orchards near Pershore: it's a nice part of the world.

Let's see what you can make of this one.

Pipe How singularly apposite

Since lately were these boards disturb'd by murmurings of strife.



Tídwald routs the looters of the slain in The Homecoming of Beorhtnoth.

Pipe Might as well have a stab at it too

Psamathos Psamathides? I reckon that if I'm wrong I've still narrowed it down to one wizard.

Pipe Food for thought

Well, I can only hope that you've had a chance to eat and drink since you posted that. No-one should quiz on an empty stomach.



And the sooner you find the quotation, the sooner you'll hear...

Pipe That's Topical

I think that's the Lonely Troll to Perry the Winkle in The Adventures of Tom Bombadil. Was your choice of source by any chance inspired by Fordim's new poll?

Pipe A quote from a real person!
