Old Alresford Quiz 2019

[semajnai]

This has come round again and, as ever, I am struggling a bit. So any suggestions welcome.
Under heading "Women - famous and infamous": Titled girl with chalet played it long (4,9); Did she inspire fear on stage - that's the question (8,5)
Under heading "Communications": Be equipped to succeed online (4,4,1,1,5)
Many thanks in anticipation!!

Miss something???

[Mamyalynne]

I want the first one to be 'Lady Chatterly' but can't fully parse it.

[emmie]

the second one i thought might be
Gertrude something as in Hamlets mother

[emmie]

i think you are right Mamy

[semajnai]

I thought of Lady Chatterley, but as you say, it doesn't fit..

[emmie]

is it an anagram?

[emmie]

if second one is Gertrude Stein possibly??

[emmie]

she was a famous playwright, novelist etc

[scorpiojo]

Second Virginia Woolf

[Mamyalynne]

Sorry, of course I misspelled it.

[Chiefsinger]

The first one is Emma Woodhouse

[semajnai]

Thank you all, especially scorpiojo and Chiefsinger. The communications question is a real headache. And I may have more.... Thanks again.

Can you please give details of how to get this quiz and the closing date? Thanks

[semajnai]

I get the quiz from a friend who lives in Old Alresford. I think he gets it from local outlets. The quiz has to be returned to The Manor Farmhouse, Old Alresford, SO24 9DH (by 7 January 2020 this time). Really sorry, but I do not have other contact details. I know that other AnswerBank members have done this quiz in the past, so maybe someone else knows more. If anyone is doing it, I am more than happy to help with answers, as far as I have them...

[semajnai]

A couple more: under the heading "Fun and Games", Traces of earlier generation (12,9); under "medical", Employing staff may achieve miracles (6,2,2,5). As before, more than happy to help out anyone else who is struggling with this quiz.

[aelmpvw]

''medical'' laying on of hands

[Jean60]

Traces of earlier generation is 'Grandmother's footsteps'.

I am also doing quiz. Any thoughts under Communications on

Result of replacing ink with gin? (6,7)
Paradoxical instruction to inform urgently (4,5)

[scorpiojo]

Ink with gin...Spirit writing

[scorpiojo]

Paradoxical..Post haste

[semajnai]

Thank you everyone. I had Spirit Writing and Post Haste so can confirm they are right (I think....).
