Pray tell me the name of the girl (3,5)
I believe the answer is:
say grace
'pray' is the definition.
(thesaurus)
'tell me the name of the girl' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite see how this works, but
'tell' could be 'say' (synonyms) and 'say' is found within the answer.
'name' could be 'grace' and 'grace' is found within the answer.
No letters remain.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
Can you help me to learn more?
