Guinevere is a guest of Tom Bombadil.
@ Rutslegolas: The full quotes are in my post above. Haven't you read the whole thread ?!

Nirvana II said:

"no he doesnt.......mortals cant have foresight."
"Aragorn's elvish-ness has been put out by the 4,000 years since Elros-tar Minyatur, anhiliating his foresight."
Although I agree that Aragorn isn't an ordinary man, I don't think that his "foresight" derives from the inheritance of Elvish blood.
As lathspell, Evisse, Angry hillTroll and loremaster said, Mortals can just as well have foresight!
Just think of the prophetic words of Huor and Húrin to Turgon in their last stand!! And they didn't have any Elvish blood.

Halbarad was another good example, FingolfinII.

And what Evisse said, seems to me very important too:
Quote:
Most of these people who have an inkling of a foresight at one point, do not let it get in their way of doing the right thing, like Halbarad.
