I always hoped that "gruntled" might one day turn into a real word. It seems to have such wonderful potential.

I dislike rebuses -- and trick puzzles in general. Every Wednesday night at 10 when the Thursday puzzle drops I think "Oh dear, I'm not going to like this". But being a glutton for punishment (and for pizza), I always give it a try and often end up tearing my hair or uttering words unsuitable for polite company (and for emus). So much to my surprise, I quite enjoyed today's puzzle. For me, the pattern actually made it flow rather than hindered solving

Sam, I can think of a most serious arcade. Victorian London offered fancy shopping arcades. One that remains and is of overwhelming poshness is Burlington Arcade off Piccadilly <a href="https://www.burlingtonarcade.com" target="_blank">https://www.burlingtonarcade.com</a>/ . Does it offer amusements? Well, maybe if your pocketbook is up to it.

I blame the cat. When in doubt, it's always good to blame the cat. (And sometimes she actually did it.)

@Andrzej Just to confuse matters a little more, in English we have appropriated the word allée (or sometimes just allee) for just the kind of thoroughfare you're describing.

@Isabeau. Lox doesn't immediately come to mind for me either, but check out the video clip included with Melissa Clark's late recipe. <a href="https://cooking.nytimes.com/recipes/1015533-classic-potato-latkes" target="_blank">https://cooking.nytimes.com/recipes/1015533-classic-potato-latkes</a>

@ Mr Dave, Many thanks. A delightful (or maybe it's lightful) piece.

@Dave S Many years ago, the wonderful Flanders and Swann had a sketch with a play on words using "tucket": <a href="https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=GhDTVNqyWbQ" target="_blank">https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=GhDTVNqyWbQ</a>

@Cat Lady Margaret. If I might give just one example from the lute music of John Dowland. In "Come again, sweet love" is the lyric "To see, to hear, to touch, to kiss, to die" equating death with lover's ecstacy. Here it is sung by Alfred Deller: <a href="https://youtu.be/YJTx5b2kS8U?si=mDV4h1WOm3zI2qbM" target="_blank">https://youtu.be/YJTx5b2kS8U?si=mDV4h1WOm3zI2qbM</a>
