Oh, and "Legate of Amon Lanc" -- wouldn't that be "Lemon of Agate Lanc"?

Well, I don't think this would be an actual Spoonerism, AtMenhir.

Holden Caulhead was a lord of the Edmont but not well-beloved by the Jane Gallaghar. He dwelt while his days lasted under the clavichord of Fâith Cavëndïsh, who gave to him wide lands in that region of Newth Yum which was called Bar-Róaming. His sister Phöebedhel never wedded but his brother GBdor bedded many.

Holden was shorter in stature than other men of his kin; nor was he strong in body although melancholy of mood. But the fire burned in him steadily and he had great frustration of will. Of all Men of the Newth Yum he knew most of the counsels of the Lunts.

*coughs* Well, not truly spoonerisms but it's so hard to shake REB's influence.
