Hi Li-in-King. Get that Curtains means death and that Curtain is Cover but where the 's' comes from in your ([ha]'s pointles)s' (in the end) explanation I don't get ?? Could you try again for my decrepit brain !!

It's just that S is the last letter (end) of POINTLESS

not a great clue is it?

Hi Bricklayer - sorry, as I posted it, I thought it looked clumsy!

If the clue read "Death cover has pointless in the end" it works. The setter had to use the ' to allow for the more satisfying surface reading.
