In Crucible's puzzle number 25115, he gave the clue:
Batty Ms Flint announcing her resignation?(5-2)

The answer today is Heigh-ho. Presumably the Lady referred to is a character from Literature who was known for saying something like, "Heigh-ho, I'm off." Could someone enlighten me?

TWM, batty as in cricket, Heyhoe-Flint as in cricketer; I can only think of the 7 dwarves who sang 'Hey ho, hey ho it's off to work we go' Regards Jenny

Aha! Thank you both.

I'm sure you will have noticed that Snow White was one answer and 7 other answers were each of the 7 dwarves.
Heigh Ho fitting in with the theme.

I did not notice the 7 Dwarves connection - but I shall look again and raise the setter another notch in my esteem.
I doubt that this accolade will turn the setter's head!
Thanks for the observation.
