my answer is Master aka Tom bombadil.

"No one has ever caught old Tom walking in the forest, wading in the water, leaping on the hill-tops under light and shadow. He has no fear. Tom Bombadil is master."
from "in the house of Tom bombadil"

**The Saucepan Man** · 07-28-2004, 05:05 AM

Well done, paavo. You have forcibly extracted the next letter from me.

It is 'R'.

Fingolfin II, it's up to you whether you want to put your question again.
