          Seems to fit the sleight of this crossword doesn’t it? http://bit.ly/2atr0Xb Let me know if I’m missing something here.

          • Steve Gardner

            No you’re good. I was the one who missed something. Being too literal, as usual.

            Ah, no worries. I aim to confuse, but not too much.
