This was initally a confusing round but has ended with a clear 'next dealer'
in Dick Weltz whose combination of both the ideas of lire and lit earned him
5 points ( which is why I didn't combine his definition with #14 which only
had one of the ideas). -The real winners are Mike Shefler, Millie Morgan,
Guerri Stevens, Dave Cunningham each with 4 points -- the French maid earned
a D3. I was amused becasue this is one of those cases where the diminutive
lisette is a longer word that the diminutee elise (to possibly coin a word)
- I was also somewhat surprised that no-one complained if the accents on the
two names
