0 DudleyDude Posted July 21, 2012 Report Share Posted July 21, 2012 I keep coming back to this and keep coming up blank. @PG - Do you have a link back to Shakee riddle you reference? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 plainglazed Posted July 21, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 21, 2012 Ah, you're kind to keep coming back, DD. Had just about forgotten this one. It's pretty poor am afraid; totally cryptic vs descriptive. The "By An Utter Nuisance" refers to the author of the answer. Too busy as of late and was just trying to get something posted since it has been so slow. Found some links. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 Molly Mae Posted July 24, 2012 Report Share Posted July 24, 2012 Can someone elaborate? I can try Seek: Classic Novel Title? - (by an American Author) Mark That pit has a permit to rent, she claimed. Mark = Scar Permit = Let How "to rent, she claimed" = letter / let her is beyond me for now, but I'm sure it'll click soon. Hint: Read Aloud (A cryptic-esque hint that the spellings and word breakings may be different, but they sound similar if read aloud) I'm sure PG or DD can shed a bit more light.

0 plainglazed Posted July 24, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 24, 2012 ughh - was afraid someone might ask (jk) Mo Ma got most of it but here goes: Mark That pit has a permit to rent, she claimed. Mark or That (another word for) pit = scar a (nother word for) permit = let to rent = let she claimed = her and the Hint - Read Aloud = Red A with "loud" being an indicator for a phonetic clue as is common in cryptics and the title is quite obscure (as opposed to the rest - pshaw) an (other word for) utter might be haw and nuiscance --> thorn -- yikes, i know - sorry just wait until we get into psykomakia's...
