He performed a spell for me and within 48 hours after the spell had been cast I receive a text from my ex saying that he is sorry for the pains and tears that he had caused me and that he will not do such thing to me again in his life.

It seems I was the only one who thought Bret Harte was a wrestler. That would be, apparently, Bret Hart. Don't know why I know about him!<br /><br />I had NO IDEA about the person the clue actually referenced. The play does not seem to be a high point in American theatre, and I'd say the answer is worse than "Ah, so". I mean, "The Heathen Chinee"??? But history is history.

Agree that A GOB is probably more than iffy. If "gobs" is lots and lots, then maybe A GOB is only lots. I don't know, but the Latin across I knew to be AGNI, so A GOB went right in. Also ABOUT TURNS is perfectly OK in my lexicon, and maybe that's because I'm Canadian.<br /><br />Actually, the NW, SE, W and E were pretty easy, and the other two corners provided almost all the challenge. And, after yesterday, I'm quite happy to have finished.<br /><br />Oh, except for A GOB, I liked it.<br /><br />143 Ah so!

Did I mention how terrible I am at timelines? Tried TURNABOUTS, nothing clicked. Never thought of ABOUTTURNS--I think that's British, no?<br /><br />I even had DAG, which also could have been clued "Bumstead's nickname," but couldn't connect with anything, even ANNERICE. Not a fan. AHSO an "old-timey" exclamation? Naw. I know you can't reference Charlie Chan, that would give the show away, but just to call it that? No way. Nobody but Charlie ever said that.<br /><br />And if that didn't draw the flag, AGOB surely does. Just one GOB isn't an awful lot; it's GOBS or nothing. That is the single most ungettabe entry I've seen in a long time. Grossly unfair. There never was any hope for me with this. Managed to get the NE and that was it.
