Boy in agony abducted hero's father.

Denethor? maby?

Welcome to the Downs, Vinyacoriel.

Unfortunately though, Denethor is not the correct answer.

Like, is "abducted" literal?

**The Saucepan Man** · 01-05-2005, 08:25 PM

A clue? But we've hardly got started.

Oh, OK then - if you insist.

No. It's part of the cryptic element. In true cryptic clue style, my literal elements are always at the beginning or end of a clue.

There we are. Two for the price of one.

By the way, Nilp. Do your alter egos have PTs too?

(Congratulations, by the way - nice choice.

)

I'm still having trouble deciphering it. Maybe I'll bring it home and have my analysis team disect it.

Vy ze vay, thanks!

And yes, Adam has his personal title: Simply Satirical.

And mine is Nearly Nonexistent. It's obvious why.
