Rogue Riddle 1007

Fancy of Flights

    The cold weather finally is here, so thoughts of escape arise.  It is time to fancy to take flight on the dreams of wings.  Aisle pose the riddles, but if you get the answers, you’ll window. 

    As usual this week’s Rogue consists of twenty riddles, all on the same theme.  

Q:  Robert E’s king?

A:  LEE’S MAJESTY (lese majesty or majesté)

Where both punned and unpunned answers are involved, full credit requires both answers.

    As always, remember that the wording of each riddle generally has been carefully chosen both to provide clues and to avoid the use of any words in the answer.

    Because of the three-day weekend, the riddle will run until 5:00 p.m. EST on Wednesday.  As usual, the first person to solve all the riddles will be declared the winner.  If no one has solved all the riddles by 5:00 p.m. EDT on Tuesday, the one with the most correct answers will be declared the winner and will host Rogue Riddle 1008 next week.

    Now, on to the riddles.
