<span class="explanation-format__ClueExplanation">'<span class="explanation-format__original">private chat</span>' is the definition.<br/ ><span class="explanation-format__explanation">(I've seen this in another clue)</span><br/ ><br/ >This is the entire clue.<br/ ></span>
(Other definitions for tete-a-tete that I've seen before include "Private conversation between two French people" , "Private meeting" , "Private conversation between two people as in France" , "Private couple's conversation" , "One-to-one meeting" .)
