Wild Guesswork? I'm sure you're dead on, Squatter.

For one thing, boundary could be 'line' (or if needed, 'lin') which fits quite nicely with your answer.

Yes, that's correct.

Worldly jewellery unsuitable for choral piece.

Bilbo's Mithril coat?

MItril more valuable than jewels
and it is mined from the earth Worldly

And unsuitable....
for choral piece... oh I got this one the elf king sasy "Bilbo you are more worthy to wear that suit than some that have looked more comely in it"

Unsuitable for choral piece or more great persons the greater of course being those in great tales and songs "Choral piece"

Mithril Coat

Hmm - not convinced - I think it may be tighter than that. Decision for me is if the "straight clue" is wordly jewellery or choral piece .

Obvious choice for choral piece in ME would be the music of the Ainur but I cannot make the worldly jewellery fit that just now....

If choral piece is cryptic then I think that part of the word "choral" is found in the answer. (Edit but that doesnt work either

) Off to dig more......

Sorry about that: I forgot I'd posted one here.

Neither of you has the answer, but Mithalwen is on the right track. This is an obscure one, but you'll find that the answer's quite close to home.
