Midinette

I had to check the definition - she's an assistant in a fashion store. The answer has Mite, child and Dine, I'm not sure how the othe T works!

Could you parse, please ?

[newmodarmy]

Good one. Dine + T in MITE.

I wouldn't have got that.

Crossed posts.

to take mealtime:

to take meal is DINE

Time  =T

Thank you all.  I'm glad I wasn't the only one who found it baffling.

You're welcome, Mabel2.

NMA, thanks for linking in the T,time - I'm quite sloppy when there are three aspects to an answer!
