Today's clue:
Unhappy that distressed sales person initially expired outside (10) )
Its solution: DISPLEASED = DIED + SALE + P(erson)
On 13th December I'd asked if anyone could point out to a particular SHerlock Holmes mystery where the distiction between MATCH and MATCHES is used by Holmes. After some search I found that it is The Adventure of the Red Circle. Thanks to the MATCH MAKER clue I read that interesting story again after 35 years. Here is the page with the list of solvers.

_You impose limits on your true nature of infinite being. Then you get *displeased* to be only a limited creature. Then you begin spiritual practices to transcend these non-existing limits. But if your practice itself implies the existence of these limits, how could they allow you to transcend them._
