What a journey! Herringed, got one, made a pretty row, then finally saw what was needed.

Need to not rush so much!

Red herring. Never would have solved blue. Should have gotten purple.

Surprise, fear, and an almost fanatical devotion to the Pope?

I felt like purple was fairly easy today, and the results here confirm it. Glad I got the other three, because I know 0/4 of the blue.
