All of which would, of course, be a great answer were we dealing with 'J' and not 'B'.
    Anyway ... is there something miraculous involved - aha - should I say somebody miraculous?
    Bartok: The Miraculous Mandarin, The Wooden Prince and Bluebeard's Castle.


    Indeed.
    The prince needed some acting lessons to become less wooden; even a Hungarian's home is his castle, I should think; and my old China (pal) might have been part of a miracle on 34th Street.

    Now let's see what cunning conundrum you can come up with (unless we've run our course for 2019!).

                    Well, I've tried.

                    Time stands still suggests John Dowland
                    As ever I saw suggests Peter Warlock
                    Maundy Thursday might be William Walton

                    But I can't C any connection...

                          It could indeed all alumni of same .... and what better than a D from a Doctor even if it lies unsolved until Advent ... ??

                            This D may well take until Advent...

                              As we usually get three clues, are we to assume that each word here has a particular significance?
