Hmmmmm - I copied it into PaintshopPro - made it black and white and
increased the shadows markedly. Now it certainly looks like the first
bit says "An" - which would mean that the next word should start with
a vowel. However, the only possibility with which I can come up would
be "ogre", and I'm sure that's not it.
Now IF the first word is NOT "An", it's final letter would seem to be
the same as the initial letter in the 2nd word, viz. "n". This 2nd
word certainly does seem to end with "re", but it' s the 2nd letter
which has got me stumped. Can't think of any appropriate letter which
descends below the line - g, y, j, p, q,
