Chris, it’s the Viz (like the Eye) I don’t spend much time on parsing

I’ll rephrase that: there’s generally one clue, at least, that doesn’t warrant too much time spent parsing

I don’t have my copy yet, but is it 'sitter' not 'sister' ?

The answer is Triste , which , apparently, means sad

15ac...

I looked in here to see if there was any discussion on this. The answer is surely TRISTE (achaic for sad), which only makes sense if there is a misprint and SISTER should be SITTER.

Misprints are not unknown.

Thanks for the suggestions :-)
Glad to be able to blame a misprint instead of my hungover brain!
