And this makes me giggle: Bilbo peered up at the Ranger. I can just see Bilbo craning his neck to see the tall Man...

It's such an odd mental image... a four foot-ish hobbit craning his neck to look a fairly tall Numenorean in the eye. Though I think Aragorn would kneel or bend down out of consideration :)

Very nice.
I'm quite proud of myself for getting most of the answers right - the only ones I missed were the holly and Nimloth. 4/6 isn't too shoddy.

The plural of 'mallorn' is 'mellryn'. The first 'a' transmutes to 'e', just as it does from adan to edain. The o, becomes y, as in 'amon' becoming 'emyn', so it should technically be 'mellyrn', but those sensible, lyrical elves (and Tolkien) decided that was horrible so it became 'mellryn'
