Introduction

Solution

Epigraph

  1  Sweet talk

  2  Old solution

  3  Undersea need

  4  Man with a tail

  5  No toy

  6  Ugly rock

  7  Short talk

  8  I hit it

  9  I sit on it

10  Sort of boat

11  Help

12  Sort of man

13  More to do

14  Portuguese O.K.

15  Reaction in the market

16  One too many

17  Da Cunha lays it down

18  Sad song

19  Never say this

20  Enemy

21  Are the wages of this, that?

22  Charly raises its head

23  In the same one

24  Threads of a story

25  Ready to jump?

26  The point of a pen

27  Gain this or lose it

28  The boat gets one

29  Entreaty

30  Grave trouble

31  From a friend

32  For this game

33  Jean when I find her

34  Awakening

35  At the door

36  Sort of Secrets

37  Two readings

38  Chin wag

39  Inside a cabinet

40  H without an H

41  It’s moving

42  Hidden within treason

43  Friday on a Portuguese calendar

44  W.H.O. is part of this not me

45  Man and boy are this

46  Little else to give

47  Relinquish

48  Ivor Butcher entertains

49  And again

50  One named OSTRA has no number

51  Where I shine

52  I see better with this

53  Long arm

54  Ossie moves like double this

55  In me for a change

56  Deep signal

57  Lost letter in the mail

58  To put it together hastily

Last Word
