Pervinca Took is a guest of Tom Bombadil.
Précisément!

VANIMELDA: Most beautiful and beloved.
OSTLER: Troels gets mixed up with the horses? Well, it’s his job! We heard it in a song.
LEAF: One of a quartet that we were bidden (in song) to give the right of way.
UNDOMIEL: Deafening explosive reveals her in devastation.
MIDGEWATER MARSHES: Swamp where Ultravox have had a wee?
ERIADOR: Anger is reversed? What a fuss on the way here, though!

OLD MAN WILLOW: Showboat time? Sing! But trade a flower for a tree to reveal him.
NENYA: Two negatives: one French, one English, mingle circularly.
ERESTOR: A Latin queen, initially? Add mixed stock to reveal him.

Well, not *quite* precisely. It's NE + NAY. But perhaps I should have said 'slightly archaic English.' Although we still say it in Yorkshire, (together with thee and thou!)

Over to you!
