Throughout the world there is no collar that wilt hold the leash except
the collar of Canhastyr Canllaw."
"It will be easy for me to compass this, although thou mayest think that
it will not be easy."
"Though thou get this, there is yet that which thou wilt not get. The
chain of Kilydd Canhastyr to fasten the collar to the leash."
