Diamond18 is a guest of Tom Bombadil.

Tolkien

This is quite brief...but it tickled me. When I got to the end of TTT I started RotK within one second, so I can only imagine how the readers way back when felt. This is somewhat of an indication:

Letter 170 to Allen & Unwin, 30 September 1955

Quote:

When is Vol. III likely to appear? I shall be murdered if something does not happen soon.
