Pervinca Took is a guest of Tom Bombadil.
FRODO: Mix grub with radishes, at first, and see him emerge.
LEGOLAS: The French aims, if confusing, reveal him.
???L???: The floor of my grandfather’s house, if initially lost, reveals him. (Sing it!)
???L???: Toilet edge with a nasal change. A slight flush at the beginning will reveal him.
???O???: Troubled Plantagenet, I recalled, at first, but a king-in-waiting? Hmmm ….
WINGFOOT: He’s defined by two appendages.
SAMWISE: He swam around, although this is against his nature, (that is, swallowing seaweed initially).
???H???: He can take his drink.
BILL: Invoice him.
PIPPIN: A thing unfairly sold, twice? Second lost; direction gained. See him.

The Pippin clue refers to the unfair selling (by high street banks) of PPI with loans. (Maybe I should have added 'relatively recently' and 'in Britain' ... G55 and Urwen, has this happened over the pond too?)

So, PPIPPI, lose the second letter and add N (at the end) for the direction.

...

The PLANTAGENET clue refers to the meaning of the word 'PLANTAGENET.' Tricksily, it does not actually refer to one of the PLANTAGENET family. But the name was adopted due to its meaning.
