Hello Jobb This is only a wild guess: 'Flare' as in the 'fire projected skywards as a signal (sometimes of distress)'. 'Margins' as in 'borders'. ' I very much fear there may also be puns on both 'flare' ('flair') and 'margins' ('margins of a page').

Hello Jobb

This is only a wild guess:

'Flare' as in the 'fire projected skywards as a signal (sometimes of distress)'.

'Margins' as in 'borders'.

In other words, ?'a signal from the periphery.'

I very much fear there may also be puns on both 'flare' ('flair') and 'margins' ('margins of a page').
