27&31a(5,5)Dicky -h-rt ,-r-n- (is this short something?) 15d(4) t-i- (is this trig?) 18d(3-5) -e-/h-u-e (is this red house?) Thanks a lot for any help given
Have just finished this puzzle. I came to the following conclusions, whether right or not!!
Dicky = shirt front
Trig - short for trigonemetry.
Tea house - think there was a title somewhere "Tea House of the August Moon".
Best of luck.
