      Sounds and sweet airs, that give delight and hurt not.
      Sometimes a thousand twangling instruments

        I don't know Walton's The Bear, I realise it's not actually about a bear, I think guns are involved though not in a hunt

                  The Quest


                  You are no doubt hot on the heels of a X or Y or Z.... (maybe ammy has a toe-hold too, as he first pronounced the W word...)

                  Meantime, some coleslaw express:

                  W for Walton's three works: The Quest, The Bear, Siesta
