Well, your quotation was from Father Christmas' last published letter (1943), in which he says "goodbye" to Priscilla Tolkien. Since you opened the thread again, though, here's a new question: ... |

Putting his back up...Parish. His being "laid up with lumbago" was one of "a tremendous crop of interruptions" that helped to prevent the completion of Niggle's painting. |

Time for a new question, thenIt doesn't look as though anyone's going to get this one, so here are the answer and an easier question. Our Viking is the Mer-dog. His story gives it away, although Tolkien never says anything... |

Not quite there yetBut the sea-serpent isn't the Midgard Serpent. He's only partially based on Loki's serpentine offspring. Bear in mind that the Red Worm is a ship and not a character. Does that help? |

Getting rusty'Tragedy' is a specific word. Clearly I was right and you've just forgotten the answer. I shall appeal. :smokin: Alternatively, you must be looking for dyscatastrophe. |
