Red Flag

REPEL or attract? With her, it’s the
MANOR in which she criticizes my spelling and blows her
MONEY on dictionaries to make her point, a
ZESTY personality that I find to much.

Impoverished

A TOLL at the gates of the once-magnificent
MANOR relies on the munificence of those with
MONEY. The sign mentioning the toll makes no
OVERT demands, relying simply on the visitor
RALLYing his or her generosity, not being
REPELled at the thought of digging in their pockets, having
SENSE enough to realise that the building, no longer in its
ZESTY heyday, will crumble without their support.

A dashed lack of courtesy

Me
CADDY has most unobligingly gone orf for his hols to the
CAPE – Cod, that is. Has abandoned me, and has left me throat
DRIER, this month, than I remember being since I was introduced to the
TANGO, my Argentinian wife-to-be, and cocktails, all in one blighted evening.
