Right you are, HI - I thought I had obscured the verse structure well enough to make you work longer on that one! [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img] You're next - again!

That description of the Feast of Good Children from Smith of Wootton Major certainly looks very Gandalf-esque. Perhaps he's the narrator. [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]

Oh, nice one - such a touching moment! It's Smith, speaking to Alf when he relinquishes the star.

You're close though.

The quote is found in 'The Sea-Bell', "The Adventures of Tom Bombadil". As close as I can figure it out, it's the boat speaking, either that or the sea shell which is telling the story.
