			THRIMIDGE:  Maytime, more or less – but now tertiary in Gondor?HALE (STILL):  The magnificent one is constant.  And hearty.  Remains so at his final summons.
 EVENDIM (LAKE):  Flat and subdued?  A waterside billet – temporary, but kingly.
 
 FIRIEL:  Troubled?  Yes, we hear she’s a convicted murderer.
 OLD TOBY:  The main hero of a botanical tome?
 UNDERTOWERS:  Here, beneath Orthanc and Cirith Ungol?
 RINGDAY (CORMARE):  Flipping heck!  Roheryn’s mate for a festival?  Translate!
 TOLMAN COTTON:  Island chap – good material for a temporary mayor?
 HOLDWINE:  Keep the champagne and the claret!  Rohan calls you once more!
 
 ANDUIN:  Alternative route to paradise for the final two.  (Well, part of it.  Arguably).
 GOLDILOCKS:  A bride fit for a future Thain?
 ELDARION:  Trumpet loses one note, to gain two more and reveal him.
 
 LIFER plus I (homophone of 'aye').
 
 Mix it up to get FIRIEL.  'Troubled' is an anagram indicator.
 
 Well done, everyone!
 
 And over to Urwen!
