Raefindel, is the answer to yours a key?

Samwise, I was almost expecting you to tell me "the answer isn't a kettle boiling over" because I'm *really* trying to figure that one out and can't come up with anything that fits perfectly [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]. I'll stick with "string, or nothing!"

And I'm starting to feel embarrassingly young; I first read LOTR 12 years ago, and I was still young enough then that my father was reading it aloud to me and two of my brothers for a bedtime story (well I remember when we finished the "Flight to the Ford" chapter where at the end Frodo sees the Nazgul starting across the ford and then collapses into unconsciousness. My dad then closed the book: "OK, time to go to sleep." We protested loudly until he consented to read the first page of the next chapter, so we could see that Frodo was not, in fact, captured by Ringwraiths).
