Don’t even know why I’m posting so late – except that I’m only checking answers now. A 12 min solve which is on the fast side for me.

Only thing different from me is that maybe Rufus was dropping a (C)ATCH to a (L)ATCH – as in old Roman cricket !!

Is this a yardstick?

In the tale “Tiger! Tiger!” it seems that Messua might well be his mother (although this is admittedly not clear and Mowgli does not think so himself as he says “I have at least paid for thy son’s life” to her at the end of the story).

But then, it’s nice to get some sort of idea into clues. I was expecting the usual stuff, especially when i saw the best/worst chestnut, and, really, that’s what I got. Took about 5 minutes!

Cheers
