Although you may wish to wear your beret while sipping a Chardonnay at a cabaret along the way, you will merely warm your head, not win the day.

I was thinking of toupee.
Next clue: And since losing all my teeth, I've had to sieve all my food.

Neither ricochet nor puree are correct, although they are excellent guesses.
Sorry I missed toupee - it's better than beret.

If I only had a hedgehog and a couple of flamingoes, I'd challenge you to a game.

My vehicle has two wheels and a single horse.

I'm so not doing well. This is a statement of fact, not a hint. I've learned more about hedgehogs and flamingos than I ever cared to know (courtesy of Wikipedia), but I'm still lost. Of course, it's true that the hedgehog is a spiny mammal of the subfamily erinaceinae which sort of rhymes with Chevrolet... As for two flamingos, are we speaking of the plastic variety that some tasteless Americans use as lawn ornaments? Speaking of lawns, it's not a game of croquet.

Ah, yes, a most fragrant bouquet. You may wish carry it while you move from here to there. But you have not won the round, I am sad to say.

It's not toupee, beret, croquet, cabriolet, puree, nor ricochet. However, the intended function of one of these items may be made easier by the correct answer.

>15 oldstick: - It's not a duvet.

>14 rodneyvc: - I am flummoxed! take-away? foul play? steal away? giveaway?

Not duvet, toupee, beret, croquet, cabriolet, puree, nor ricochet.

I feel a sense of horror and discouragement.

Much to my dismay, you remain unaware of how to get from here to there.

Not dismay, duvet, toupee, beret, croquet, cabriolet, puree, nor ricochet.

#14 I was thinking of the legal process for transferring land ownership. I' afraid I chose a slightly obtuse slant to communicate my suggestion!

__ __ __ __ __ __:

Its "First" doesn't rhyme with
"Chev-" or "ro-", but
with "lash". Its "Second"
rhymes with "May". Its
meaning: prestige,
celebrity-tidbit(s).

>14 rodneyvc: - I wish to convey my thanks! Think about a different meaning of the word convey, and you might be on the right track for the right answer.

Courtesy is the cachet of good breeding, is it not? However, I am sorry to tell you that, in this instance, cachet will not lead to the prize. The correct answer will lead you somewhere.

Not: cachet, convey, dismay, toupee, ricochet, duvet, beret, croquet, cabriolet, puree.

__ __ __ __ __

Its 'First" rhymes with "Free", and
is a prefix meaning "again or "back".
It's second rhymes with "say"
and is, among other things, the
3-letter past tense of a common
3-letter verb meaning "recline".

>23 rolandperkins: I so enjoy the way in which you relay your clues. But. you should not rely on your answer.

Not: relay, cachet, convey, dismay, toupee, ricochet, duvet, beret, croquet, cabriolet, puree.

May I suggest to all that you take another look at the clues I've given in 12, 13, 21, and 22.

It may be secret. Or not.
It may be narrow. Or not.
It may have a roof. Or not.
It may require walking or crawling. Or not.

__ __ __ __ __ __:

It once meant something like "side-
Board", now: just "table" or
the implied
Meal that's thereon.
It's franco-anglic in der-
ivation: have I roused a "He's Got It" scare?

I still have my grandmother's buffet, but no one in my family ever ever referred to it as a sideboard. What is this world coming to?

Here is the updated wrong answer list: buffet, relay, convey, cachet, dismay, toupee, ricochet, duvet, beret, croquet, cabriolet, puree.

An addition to the hints I gave in 25: Ships have lots of them.

An aisle between sections, or what someone yells to get the aisle cleared?

I would have been glad to have someone else finish it off, but let's go ahead with a "way" to "pass" from one place to another, in a building or between buildings, on a ship, etc.

Passageway is it! Congratulations Jim53! I'm happy to turn the reins over to you.
