[rewhu]

Bandit - you forgot to guess Synamon's phrase. Oops too late, I beat you to it.

Can you just tell us? I think everyone lost interest after the flow was disrupted.

[Bandit]

Typical, human behavior if it's difficult and challenges the mind then we don't pursue it...
The goal of the thread was to make it difficult, yet if I make it difficult everyone gives up and loses interest.. Well damn the flow....

1) Amiable --- having qualities that make one liked friendly, or having the qualities of a friend.

2) Companion--- obvious definition..

3) Maidenly--- womanly, feminine, ie.. maiden,

is colorized in the mantel --- homonym---

Mantle-----The interior of the Earth

Nitrogen and Sulfer add color to diamonds under intense pressure within the Mantle of the earth..

So to break it down yet again..
