Ding ding -- we have a winner. Explanation of my original clue (in the unlikely event of anyone being interested ): the convention in war, in the old days, of the surrendered or potentially-surrendering losers, pleading with the winners, to be granted "quarter" -- i.e. treatment which was on the side of leniency, rather than harshness. Imagined accordingly: a very kind-hearted victor who acts extremely decently toward the vanquished -- so, giving them a quite titanic degree of "quarter".Titanic Quarter
Sir Dale: as per the usages and customs of the wars, prithee set the next one.
