1. A brownie is a small goblin or elf-like creature.
2. A brownie is a rich chocolate cake.
3. A rosebud is a member of the brownies.
4. There was a Kodak Brownie camera.
that is so obvious now i've seen it - been driving me nuts trying to suss it out. I'd thought perhaps it was "covertly" - cake may be eaten covertly (I should know!)
'in camera' is a meeting held covertly
goblins could be described as behaving covertly
'sub rose' is again behaving covertly and is less than a rose as is a rose bud
Absolutely ridculous now I've seen brownie!!!!!!!! lol!!!!!!!!
