Just one letter to go - driving me nuts! 18a Being excited with Pompeii, perhaps, but missing half of it, such as the streets? (5) . I have RUTT?. Feels as though it should have something to do with eruption, but I can't see it!

Rutty
Question Author
Thanks, but can you explain? Excited, yes, but how does the rest of the clue work?
ty - half of city (I think)

Question Author
I don't have an alternative, Ardboe, but I still need to be convinced!
RUT (excitement of a deer etc) + (ciTY) half of Pompeii .

Could be any City really.
Silly me - of course Pompeii would have Rutty streets after what happened to it!
Question Author
Bless you, Kayakamina! I THINK I can feel convinced now, but still a bit too enigmatic for me. Not a good ( 'know-it-when-you-get-it') clue...
Sorry for late response - have been out playing Bridge (and gossip!) with friends!
