To confirm these clue answers:

1. "Succeeded with toil and difficulty when most of handwork had been intertwined" (4, 3): Answer: Hard won ? H?R? W?N


2. three letters: ??E (clue: some of the hamper's contents for each) EAR?

3. Place before arbiter in pictures (6 letters) ??E?I? Could this be "elegit"?

Many thanks for all help given!

Thank you to all three of you, sandyRoe, fiction-factory and Captain2, for confirmation of HARDWON. Crossword clues are often "hard-won". 'Night.

I don't deserve Best Answer, 101043- I was always behind and didn't get PREFIX- I was just parsing it
