Puzzle This Out. THE ROUND TABLE
King Arthur .and his Queen invited 12 knights and their wives to dinner at the Round Table. At the dinner each husband was separated from his wife by the same number of places. The Queen sat opposite to Lady Camomile, Sir Bogus sat three places to the ‘■Queen’s left. Sir Asphodel was three places to Lady Bogus’s right. Lady Eggs was two places from the Queen. Lady Asphodel sat opposite to Lady Dachshund. Draw a plan of the table showing how the 12 diners were seated. Answer to Yesterday’s Puzzle Georgie I’orgig (sic) Pudding and Pie has got a cold and p’raps will die while she’s away her thankless job will be performed by Ginger-Nob.
There tire rather limited data for a frontal attack on the cipher; the clue is that Betty's form-mistress must have been called “Georgia I’orgie.” This is so obvious that Betty’s error (I’orgig) was allowed to stand, thereby introducing a small red herring.
