COR
MACOLINDO: ‘Goodness me, my lettuce-draining implement!’ we seem to hear him cry, (roughly speaking).
D
AUR: He’s not nearly as stern as he sounds.
MR
UNDERHILL: He failed to meet her, we hear, beneath Henry Irving’s lissom larches. (Initially).
B
RONWE ATHAN HARTHAD: For him: an actress from ‘Alfie’ – pale warmth circulates - and a fireplace sings differently, and in disharmony.
IORH
AEL: French king returns – hear a word of praise for him!
PASSWORD: MAURA
THEME: FRODO
The elements, though, are (Eleanor) BRON + WAN + HEAT + A + HEARTH - E + D (sings a different note/tune - change note letter for a different note).
(I meant the original 'Alfie,' with Michael Caine).
The original password was FRODO, but I'd have had to get the F from ELF-FRIEND, which is good and true, but perhaps not quite as specific as CORMACOLINDOR/RINGBEARER.
Over to you! Well done.
I can't make another riddle just now, I'm afraid.
