CROSSWORD 333
Sir~-The explanation given by the usually very alert compiler of your excellent crossword is only partly satisfactory. She suggests that either Benham has nodded or that a scene may have been cut from the modern editions from the play in question. The complete’ answer is that if Benham has nodded, R.W.C. has slept Soundly, because the correct reference will be found not in Measure for Measure, but in Much Ado About Nothing. ;
R. J.
L.
(Christchurch),
Sir,-May I point out that *the reference to clue 20 in Crossword Puzzle 333 should be to Act III., Scene 3, of Much Ado About Nothing, not of Measure for Measure, Curiously enough the two plays are mentioned consecutively under the word "Price" in the Shakespeare Concordance. STUDENT (Dunedin). (Other correspondents have made the same point.-Ed. )
