A delightful puzzle and I think Mr Magoo deserves a Thank You.
Cheers from me 👏

32d is not quite the same wording as shown in my ODQ but no worries

I entirely agree, jazzgirl. I thoroughly enjoyed this and - yes, thanks to Mr Magoo.

Jazzgirl, I was pleased that the wording varied slightly. If a puzzle mentions ODQ, solvers sometimes use that as a shortcut, needing to look up only one or two pertinent words. It's good to have to work a little harder ... occasionally!

Malone, I understand now. I certainly had to spend a lot more time than usual, although it was kind of Mr Magoo to tell us the exact order of the quotes !

Thanks, Jazzgirl. I have used the ODQ shortcut myself - very, very occasionally. I prefer to use the book for confirmation rather than assistance!

ditto, Malone
