    "...the isle is full of noises,
    Sounds and sweet airs, that give delight and hurt not.
    Sometimes a thousand twangling instruments
    Will hum about mine ears, and sometime voices..."

                    I should add that I did also consent to the procedure.

                        I plundered the Zimbalist family album for a Z many rounds ago, especially using the 'Daphnis' misdirection

                        Didn't help me with your E though

                          Forget it!

                          ....and I'd almost forgotten I have to set an F.

                          An F to link Sandy, Gibbs and Granville.

                            Sandy, Gibbs and Granville - was that the firm of solicitors that Calibs was fired from?
