Well, the possibility occurred to me that it wasn't meant literally, since
it was after the body of the message. But most people's signatures are more
in the form of quotes or statements, not giving the appearance of seeking
information. In other words, it was ambiguous, so I took the chance that it
was meant literally. The fact that most people looking at that will have no
idea what it refers to, "Seeking what?", so they would likely not get the
point of the tag line, contributed to the ambiguity. Sorry.

And I thought I was a literalist. You outdo me by yards. Now. Do you know
where they are currently? You can translate my "tag" into "Still seeking
that which is impossible to find." However, I thank you for the impossible.
I knew of the reference in LOTR but not the one in UT.

Amy,
You can find what little there is about Queen Beruthiel and her cats in
Unfinished Tales. The easiest way to find it would probably be to download
the Daisy copy from Bookshare, open the html version and simply do a search
for Beruthiel. That should bring up the info. A scary lady she was.
Perhaps an even easier way - after Googling "Queen Beruthiel" and
clicking on the first hit on the results page might be to go to
http://www.daimi.au.dk/~bouvin/tolkien/beruthiel.html
where you will get the same information as in Unfinished Tales.

My partial apologies: I thought I had Starburst - was absolutely
certain - until I went looking. I have most of the stories so I will be
able to rescan them but in another collection : Visual Realities. I can
also rescan 3 novels if needed and will be attempting to get copies of The
Deceivers, Golem [to the 100th power] - my keyboard does not put footnote
nor nth power notations, and any others that need rescanning if corrections
are not sufficient. The short stories will be first and the rest as I can
get to them.I may be committed for having committed myself to number of
books I have but I am having fun doing them all as long as no one is in too
much of a hurry. I hope there are validators as crazy as I am.
Amy
