Thanks Mamyalynne - but can't see the tale-teller bit. And thanks Sandy and emeritus winter and outlets look good.

I didn't offer a parse because I cannot see on at present.

Simile?

[sandyRoe]

Summoner without the 'on'? But then how does on connect with leg?

[Mamyalynne]

ah 'leg on' cricket ????

[Mamyalynne]

which is all Greek to me

[Oldred]

cricket = on side = leg side

[Mamyalynne]

Yes Chambers gives 'on' as synonym for 'leg'.

[Rosie29]

So Summoner was one of story tellers in Chaucers Canterbury tales?

[pixie373]

Well done, you three :-)

[Mamyalynne]

Yes
