Across:
Single climber entering gallery of national character. Ans Italinate. I can get the I for single and the Tate gallery but not the alin or lina for climber . How does that work please?
Down:
Parodist makes light , at first , of heavy blow. Ans Lampooner. A light can be a lamp but equally a lamp can be a heavy blow "I lamped him with a right handed" -but I can't quite put them together to get "light , at first, of heavy blow" to make lampooner.
Thanks
