Pervinca Took is a guest of Tom Bombadil.
All three correct!

And I was going to say that Tolkien was usually kind to animals in his tales ... but then I remembered that two sets of ponies got eaten. (At least, I think the goblins would have eaten the first lot). And Snowmane didn't have a very easy end, either.

Chilling thought, but JRRT must have known how many horses suffered and perished in the Great War. I wonder if that is somehow reflected in his stories, as one of the realities of war. I really ought to read that John Garth book that I bought so long ago ....

T: Declare sudden flight in confusion on the Blessed Isle.
HAMFAST: Hobbit on a kosher diet?
ELURIN: Entice within? Disorientated. One of a doomed pair.
ELBORON: The Spanish element has a princely quality.
ADALGRIM: Young Wormtongue confused at Great Smials?
GALATHEA: Unfortunate bovine creature.
L: Roundabout perambulations, Merry exclaims.
E: Troubled double agent in Doriath.
A: A mixture of rowing implements needed here.
N: Probably a homely place, if no entrance to paradise.
D: Heavy metal town? Confused.
C: Galadriel’s squeeze keeps beak out for a warrior.
HASUFEL: Ash fuel used for transport in Rohan.
I: First person joins troubled kingdom. A heavenly helpmeet.
L: It blooms unwillingly.
D: Legendary priest gets muddled and loses note, but gains direction as immortal, perhaps?
