Um... this is a bit harsh, isn't it, Chris? I think I know the answer, but don't know what Letter it is...

Just the amount then, Marky?

Marky Lazer · 22nd November 2007, 01:57 PM

I'm not sure, but I think I remember it was 4,000 quid...

Spot on - and the letter is No 186 - to Joanna de Bortadano (drafts) - April 1956.

Your turn again....

And afterwards when all was over men returned and made a fire there and burned the carcase of the beast; but for Snowmane they dug a grave and set up a stone upon which was carved in the tongues of Gondor and the Mark :

Faithful servant yet master's bane,
Lightfoot's foal, swift Snowmane.

But Feanor followed him, and at the door of the king's house he stayed him; and the point of his bright sword he set against Fingolfin's breast. 'See half-brother!' he said. 'This is sharper than thy tongue. Try once more to usurp my place and the love of my father, and maybe it will rid the Noldor of one who seeks to be the master of thralls.'
