Instructions
The idea here is first to solve for the individual words. Then from each pair of answers, extract the heart of shared letters. This will be a chunk of three to five consecutive letters that appears in both words. For example, if the pair of answer words were deliver and drivel, the shared heart would be ive. When you string all of these hearts together in order, inserting punctuation and blanks, a meaningful quotation Horn Antoine de Saint-Exupéry will appear.
For a little help, you will be given the number of letters in each clue answer, and each pair will be arranged so that the two clue answers are in alphabetical order,
Each clue points to the answer in more than one way. In addition to straightforward definitions. clues may also contain puns, plays on words, anagrams, or embedded spellings (e.g. “How it zeroes in distinguishes a cannon.”) Sometimes the answer may be constructed out of component parts (e.g. “American leader requires identification in gift”: i.d. inside present is president, the answer.) The one paramount role is that the clue sentence, with a little repunctuation, will tell exactly how to get the answer.
