Sir,--Your correspondent "Had It" (Timaru) has, perhaps, some slight justification. for his complaint about some of the words or clues in your puzzles. But after all your journal
endeavours to set a musical and literary standard and names of authors, composers, etc., are not out of place, [ still greatly enjoy the solution of these puzzles, although my musical education was neglected. By the way, did not R.W.C. make a slip in Clue 8 down in the issue of September 17, where Burns is alleged to have considered Norman blood inferior to simple faith? Does not this reference come from Tennyson’s "Lady Clara Vere de Vere" in the couplet: Kind hearts are more than coronets And simple faith than Norman blood’ Longe may R.W.C.. flourish.
