    Friday Cryptic Crossword Game

    Ah, OK, I see. Yes, I'm also a bit stuck on what to do next.

      After clueing I discovered that she doesn't appear in the book-only the film- hence editing and "gave a ride to but never made"

          She was a truly scrumptious little thing, but wouldn’t spare you a bit, dear.

                      Truly Scrumptious in more ways than one, but you get less than a morsel, dear.

                          Sigh.

                          It was 'crumpet'.

                          Here's the original clue "She was a truly scrumptious little thing, but wouldn’t spare you a bit, dear."

                          First part 'a truly scrumptious little thing'; British slang for a woman of sexual desire.

                          Second part 'spare you a bit'; a crumb. And 'dear', pet. Crumb-pet.

                          Sorry. I'll go back to lurking this thread.

                            You don't have to. Just because I didn't get it doesn't mean it was ungettable (far from it). I think it's quite good now you spell it out. You should have stuck with it and given another letter or two until someone got it.

                              Yeah...the self-doubt took over.

                              Posting on this thread is like that nightmare where you're up on stage in front of thousands of people holding a violin and it occurs to you "But I don't know how to play the violin!"

                                  You could PM Gramsci to come round and beat me up and insist I never play again.

                                  You could pick up 'crumpet' and carry on.

                                  You could pick up 'truly scrumptious' and pretend I never got involved.

                                    I think we should go with "crumpet", not least because "Truly Scrumptious" was proving such a bugger to work into a clue.
