    Dear HappyMommy,

    White Roses is a book of collection of letters Mother of Aurobindo Ashram wrote. She used to send the letters with a White Rose and hence the book was named as such.

    Clue for #2483

    A quintet seeking vengeance against their kindred, summoned a four-limbed host. The enlightened one warned against the gamble and banished it from his presence. It traveled from India, through Persia, to Europe, enchanting kings and commoners with its clever campaigns. Neither luck nor force can conquer it; it is a slave to reason. These days it serves a Viking master.

    Interesting! Her given name at birth was Blanche, meaning white in French. I think the white rose also alluded to that.

    #2483 solved. I was running at a jet speed to solve the puzzle. Your verbal clue slowed down and helped me in the right direction. I spend 3 hours in the spiritual center followed by 3 hours in watching football every Sunday. Your puzzle arrived right in the middle. Luckily my team plays at 4:05 p.m. today.


    I am still working on accounting for two image clues.

    NFL? Dolphins? Huge 49ers fans in my house. They're playing the Falcons today. We've been taking a beating since the season started. :(

    The verbal clues seem confusing because of the convoluted language. If you think about the words the meanings are fairly straightforward. Among the picture clues, try to figure out what the girl in the statue is doing. That should lead you to the endgame.

    I mentioned the 49ers on this thread and we won! I might have to do it before every game if the trend holds.

    *Maybe it was just the new QB
