women, light and the safety of home

I think Goldberry would be an even more direct comparison to Mrs. Maggot,
Fordim. She is heard, not seen before they enter the lighted threshold - perhaps a connecting link between the Hobbit woman and the Elven ruler, slightly more distant in character and race but not yet wholly strange. We'll discuss that more when the Hobbits get there, but I did want to mention it in this connection.
