oops! ! ! 'On Eve and I it spat.' SHOULD 'read': 'on Eve and me it spat.' It took LESS THAN two years for me to catch my typo, which I probably won't bother, now, to correct. ;))

'overt': Opposite of hidden. Here are 2/3rds of meanings I found for 'sarcasm': A cutting, often ironic remark intended to express contempt or ridicule. A form of wit characterized by the use of such remarks. No offense meant, 'God'. ;) bri
