So is your pattern H?M?RE please mra1?

[scorpiojo]

H?M?R?

[fiction-factory]

Not sure where the 'a follower' fits in

[mra1]

H?M?R? - sorry for the confusion!

[scorpiojo]

Home - in
R(ight)
B follows a

Pattern is. h?m?r?

Thanks scorpiojo- mra1 was also showing an E.
I can't improve on hombre but can't see where the 'a follower' fits in

[fiction-factory]

Scorpiojo, thanks for parsing that so well (and so early on in the thread!). I had the answer, but didn't know how it worked. PS - is your cloak having an outing today?

[scorpiojo]

You're welcome, Nac. It would appear so...
