re = about starin = stock
In Wizard of Oz a twister took Dorothy from Kansas to Oz
Assume new owner is getrting the hands but agree it's not a very good clue
an ambidextrous person is able to change hands, and if an object has a new owner - change hands

in the wizard of Oz, dorothy got carried away by a twister

about = re , strain = stock (as in farming/gardening)

think that's right, hope it helps
wow, I actually answered a question for a change

Thanks to you both
It's down to the present compiler, I think. Quite a few of his/her clues are a bit dodgy and need considerable lateral thinking to understand them.
