NON LINEAR
Question Author
Can you parse PINE NUT and NON LINEAR?
Pine (consume/eat) nut (fruitcake)

Non linear - on line (using the net) inside ran (cut) reversed
Question Author

What is the definition in MILNE: an &Lit? Stretching it, I think.

But not so much as PINE.
The definition of Milne is the whole clue - a deep source of entertaining literature (primarily/kids)

I don't like pine either!
