How is marionette kept under control? (2,1,6)
I believe the answer is:
on a string
'under control?' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
I don't understand the remainder of the clue.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for on a string that I've seen before include "under one's control" , "Yo-yo is" , "left dangling?" , "under complete control" , "Pearl may be" .)
