Harry rebus

[Denis]

cairn- pert- (4 words)

 

[Denis]

Clue: t--- o- t-- c-----

 

[Denis]

Clue: 1st word = tale (tail)

 

[Harry_the_cat]

Clue: 1st word = tale (tail)

Shouldn't it be

-airns -erth

 

[Denis]

Why? 1st letter = head of word, last = tail. No?

I'm thinking it's supposed to be read as "tail off two cities" and that sounds similar to "tale of two cities".

 

[Denis]

Yepper!
