Well, I'm stuck again.  I figured out The Stone Wall; the hint about taking
one letter from each vine over the empty letter box was all I needed.  I had
already guessed RAT, I just had problems with the second word (IVY) which
was not that intuitive.

The High Priestess still has me stumped.  Apart from The Sun, it is the
only puzzle that is available (i.e., not greyed out) that is unsolved.  But
I only have three keys: the second one (from The Humbug puzzle), the third
one (from the Justice puzzle) and the last one (from The Hermit).  So I guess
I need to get the first one, but there are no unsolved puzzles from which to
get it.  I have gotten past a few steps of The High Priestess already: the
numbers, the tracing of the outline, and I think another one, but I'm not sure.
It's been a while since I did it.  When I get into it now, I have a whole
bunch of "video noise" on the screen.  There are some "hidden" squares, which
I've hit in some order to move onto the next phase, but it's still more noise.
Arrrrrggggghhhhh!!!!!!  Please help me; I don't want to be a Fool anymore!

Alfred
