Indeed.

You'll find the L one in a good Indian restaurant, if you ask for it.

No hints for F one, then?

I thought you had it! You were just going to look up the song.

Well, the one I thought it was doesn't have F in first line.

LASSI for L?

It's in 'The Hobbit.'

LASSI is right.

Is F one Far?

No.

Arson and attempted murder, remember.

Firtrees?

Your password guesses are both wrong.

It looks like I made a mistake in the password.

I've fixed this now.

Nope.

4. Andreth?

Password: SONG TITLES?

Nope, but close.

Which was close - Andreth or the Password guess?

Poem titles?

No to Turin. He doesn't feature in a poem title, as far as I know.

I wondered if there was one in the Lays of Beleriand.

Where does Tower appear?

#1 would be really cool if it was just PRESENT. But I can't think of a poem.

Of course! How did I forget the BBC's castrato eagle? ;)

Only P word I can find is PLATES!

Nope. Look again.

Praise!

And is T Tom Bombadil?

Not Tom. Think of the NORTHMEN.
