Guinevere is a guest of Tom Bombadil.
How nice! A language where I at least can understand some words...

Lieveling sounds much like "Liebling" = darling. But who could say that?
Ah! it could be "precious"! (btw in the German edition translated as " Schatzsss"!)

So I guess it must be Gollum in the Marshes:
Quote:
You cannot reach them, you cannot touch them. We tried once, yes, precious. I tried once; but you cannot reach them. Only shapes to see, perhaps, not to touch. No precious! All dead.
