"The house is finished now, as well as we could make it; but I should like to show it to her. She'll be able to make it better, I expect: more homely."

Parish speaking to Niggle about his wife.

Well done once again, Guinevere! You didn't take long, nor many letters, to solve it. Your turn...

Thank you, Esty!
This one is not directed at you either. ;)

"- / ---/ -------/ --/ --/ ---/ --/ ----/, ---/ ---/ ------/ ----/ ------/ --/ ----/ -------/."

Now I'm curious! Let's get some clues quickly.

Very untypical - please start with A.

"- / -a-/ -a-----/ --/ --/ ---/ --/ ----/, a--/ -a-/ -a----/ ----/ ------/ --/ ----/ ---a---/."

H?

"- / ha-/ -a-----/ --/ --/ ---/ --/ ----/, a--/ ha-/ -a----/ ----/ -----h/ --/ ----/ ---a---/."

D, please.

E's please.

"s"s?

HADES

"- / had/ -a--e-s/ --/ --/ ---/ --/ ---d/, a-d/ had/ -as-ed/ ---e/ en---h/ --/ ----/ e--a-ds/."

Hmmm, it's not ringing any bells yet - T, please.

"n"s, please.

HANDSET

Got it! Farmer Giles of Ham to the King.

...though this is never a waste of time, of course!

:D exactly!

Today's menu:

Are there any O's ?

O yes!
 

-'- ----- o' ------- o-- -o--- --- -----; -'-- - ---- -o ---- o- ---- -o-.

N O - or rather, yes, of course!
 

-'- ----- o' -n---n- o-- -on-- -n- ---n-; -'-- - --n- -o --n- on ---- no-.

Good choice, Guinevere!

"w"s?

N O W - or W O N, whichever you prefer...
 

-'- ----- o' -n-w-n- o-- -on-- -n- ---n-; -'-- - --n- -o --n- on ---- now.

hmm :rolleyes: G perhaps ?!

G O W N
 

-'- ----- o' gn-w-ng o-- -on-- -n- ---n-; -'-- - --n- -o --n- on ---- now.

That was a good choice - it should give away the most telltale word now.

I suspected it ! :D

"I'm tired o' gnawing old bones and skins;
I've a mind to dine on thee now."

Right you are! Your turn to serve us a new one now.
