    And you have it! Shelley is quite correct.
    The rewording was intended to focus attention on a pronoun as distinct from a title.
    Over to B67.

    Seems to be only the two of us on this shuttle service at the moment. Let's try this one.

    The enclosures could suit two, or in enlarged versions, even three Hippopotamuses.

    The second word is the key to unlocking this cryptic.

    Not Pental,

    The enclosure is the clue itself.

    Not Ampitheatre either. This works in the same way as some other cryptics only a few pages ago. You'll know you have the correct answer when you find it. Wink

    The letters making up Clunes are contained in Enclosures.

    Sorry, not Clunes. There's no anagram. I'll just have to come out and say that "enclosed" simply means that the answer is to be found within the clue.

    B67, you sure have a way with words!
    The clue reads "enclosures"; not "enclosed". The first is a noun; the second is the past participle of a verb. . . . totally different meanings.
    Back to square one.Laughing

    Sorry. I meant enclosure. But same effect. The clue is the enclosure and the answer is found, quite plainly, inside / within that enclosure. Wink


    Here's the enclosure again.I reckon you'll kick yourself when you find the answer.

    The enclosures could suit two, or in enlarged versions, even three Hippopotamuses.

    Told you that you would, Valvegear. But I understand. I felt the same the first time I saw one of these kinds of cryptics. Laughing

    Yes, Woorinen is indeed enclosed by the words of this clue.

    The enclosures could suit two, or in enlarged versions, even three Hippopotamuses.

    Over to Brownhillboy.

    Careful analysis of this clue will reveal two stations on the same line:

    Indiscriminate discharge by distant neighbour could destroy habitat.

    The clue has been expanded to read:

    Indiscriminate discharge by distant neighbour could destroy a habitat, or even a creature similarly denoted.


    Not Kilmore or Axedale

    Careful analysis of this clue will reveal two stations on the same line:

    The clue has been clarified:

    "Indiscriminate discharge by distant neighbour could destroy a habitat, or even a creature similarly denoted".

    The name of the neighbour could describe either his surname, or his favourite recreational pursuit.


    Not Kilmore or Axedale

    Possibly Gunbower, and the neighbour could be Hunter.

    Yes Valvegear, Hunter and Gunbower are correct.

    It's an eight-letter anagram.

    Bless you, my son; it is Lindenow.  It seemed for a while as though all of the cryptic-solvers had left town.
