Azed - Last Few And Parsing Help Please
12 Answers
26d Fabric mark? A firm’s upset with this (5) _ RACK
9d Wretched waste in the sea (4) _ LUE
25a Sliver of noisette consumed red? (6) NEA _ EN
(is "neaten" "red"!!!)
Obviously I can come up with answers to these, but I also need the parsing! Thankyou
This next one - I don't understand!
20 Noblewoman is bent, in grip of chronic fatigue (8) MAR _ HE _ E
Marchese is a nobleman (marchesa is the noblewoman). However I am pretty sure my crossers are correct. It parses as Marches(E) = noblewoman = arches (is bent) "in" M.E. (chronic fatigue). Therefore I am sure MARCHESE is correct, but can someone please confirm "marchese" can also be a noblewoman (I don't have Chambers!)
Many thanks
