Well...May.

(Is this clue just cryptic, or actually...'Cryptic'? (oh, how that capital pains me, it hurts us so it does, precious...))

I think I've got it. Tigerlily Gamgee, whose birthday is in May.

maybe there's more? attachment = tie Ti(in Tigerlily)

Not Tig. Aman's closer, what with her May-flower.

Amanaduial the archer · 10-19-2005, 01:11 PM

May-flower...maybe this is a bit far-fetched and I'm picking up the wrong thing entirely here, but would that be a hint at the Mayflower, the ship that took the Pilgrim fathers from England to Massachussets in the early 17th century? If so, then maybe Nuranar? She wrote rather eloquently on it as a subject, and does have a particular fondness for American history...(I would say Gurthang but, well, he ain't a she...)

Anywhere close, at all? I'm running dry on any ideas at all, and this is the thought that struck. Otherwise, if I'm near (which I doubt - far fetched would be a euphemism), maybe...Bethberry? I don't know, I'm hopeless! A downer from Massachussets?

Aman, you are so close that I want to cry in relief at the nearness and have hysterics at the wrongness.

Yes, Mayflower. Yes, pilgrims. No Nuranar.

Mithalwen

Pligrim Soul

Plus cheeky because she was the host right before you.

Feanor of the Peredhil · 10-19-2005, 01:28 PM

Yes!

YES!!!!!

I'm so happy somebody got the cheeky part! Poor Aman... I swear (and this time I'll keep my word, promise) that I'll stop doing cryptic stuff.
