14a Leeway

14d Look Sharp
Question Author
Thanks. My mistake, 14d is indeed 4,5 so look sharp does look right. However I can’t parse either answer! Can you explain?
loo = throne
k = king
sharp = tart
lee = assassin
way = approach
Question Author
I see that one now. I was looking for R for king and tart as in either pie or prostitute!

Still cannot see ‘leeway”
lee harvey oswald?
Question Author
Lee as in Bruce? Way to mean “approach” is a bit Delphic!
Question Author
Yes, I suppose it must be Oswald.
Assassin (Lee Harvey Oswald)'s FIRST = Lee

Approach = Way

Room is the clue, i.e. make room = give leeway
