I can't find any mention of Holdwine, nor even of Meriadoc nor Merry. Which is disappointing (and a confusing omission in the latter case... I wonder if I missed something?) | |

I'm hesitant to post this as an answer, as my knowledge of english isn't as sharp as it would if it was my first language. | |
