Page 51 - Lulu and Bob in Verbo City

Lulu swallowed the remnants of her cookie. “Let me see: that
makes ‘Or maybe browsing a reference book’. The next one begins
with the numeral ‘4’, so it’s ‘for’.”
“And here’s a biblical character,” said Bob, grinning. “Eve, with an
attendant serpent suggesting the special of the day, the fruit plate.
That plus ‘N’ makes ‘even’.”
Lulu reached for another faunal treat. “Then a real word, ‘the’.
Next, a punctuation mark? Either a comma or an apostrophe, plus a
bird’s nest. Has to be ‘commonest’, wouldn’t you say?”
“Probably not ‘communist’,” Bob replied. “What did you get there?
Looks like a lizard.”
“Jar says it’s a giant gecko. Are you going to finish this rebus line,
or must I?”
“Okay, no sweat: it’s ‘I’ plus ‘D’ plus ‘A’. Rather unimaginative for
‘idea’.”
