    16Dn Clue reg : Not CLIMAXED but EXCLAIMED reminds me of a joke :

    "Harry, love," exclaimed Mrs. Knowall to her husband, on his return one evening from the office, "I have b-been d-dreadfully insulted!"

    "Insulted?" exclaimed Harry, love. "By whom?"

    "B-by your m-mother," answered the young wife, bursting into tears.

    "My mother, Flora? Nonsense! She's miles away!"

    Flora dried her tears.

    "I'll tell you all about it, Harry, love," she said. "A letter came to you this morning, addressed in your mother's writing, so, of course, I—I opened it."

    "Of course," repeated Harry, love, dryly.

    "It—it was written to you all the way through. Do you understand?"

    "I understand. But where does the insult to you come in?"

    "It—it came in the p-p-postscript," cried the wife, bursting into fresh floods of briny. "It s-said: 'P-P-P. S.—D-dear Flora, d-don't f-fail to give this l-letter to Harry. I w-want him to have it.'"
