Answer:  GOOD-NATURED

(I don’t think this one was all that easy.  I got all the clue words in a matter of seconds.  Not that they were all that easy, I was just seeing them very clearly.  None of them were new, and I did like the jumbling of “curfew”.  I have to attribute the degree of difficulty to the excellent answer letter layout.  Today’s cartoon was positively charming.  I would not blame anybody for looking at the cartoon before the clue words today.  Be well and do good, friends.  Let’s all make a conscious effort to be good-natured.)   —   YUR

“The honest poor can sometimes forget poverty.  The honest rich can never forget it.”   —   G. K. Chesterton

(It’s called having a social conscience.  Those with empathy and charity for others have it.  Those who are not honest with themselves do not understand John Bradford‘s words:  There, but for the grace of God, go I.  Be well, and always do good, friends.)   —   YUR
