Ah, but after Squatter's last one I had to make them fiendish! And if Needlehole had been posted earlier, I'd have given a hint to lead you to the right answer.

I agree that Cabed-En-Aras and Siril were hard, but it's not the first time the "real world Tolkien" card has been played, and I thought Sarehole would be an interesting wild card. It's the first hamlet that springs to my mind when Tolkien is mentioned.

Very surprised number one hasn't been guessed yet.

1. Rumil slain in confusion? Initially, but not by this.
2. Great month? In translation, certainly.
CALMINDON: Virginia Woolf’s destination?
CABED-EN-ARAS: Spy a resting place, we hear; then trap note in confusion here.
SAREHOLE: Hamlet adds nothing to reckless eel’s confusion.
SIRIL: Flower returns, gains direction, reveals another. Or does it?
