But they're tantalizing. You know the whole time that the answer is...well...stalking you. There's no other way to put it. I keep hoping I will mentally turn around and find the answer wasn't quick enough to hide. Oh well...back to pretending I don't know it's there.

Jenny, while a slightly warped mind is an asset, it is possible to learn how to "read" cryptic clues and you will find various websites to help you get started. It is also helpful for learners to look back at the previous day's puzzle with the answers. The clues here are particularly hard because there is no help from the grid.
