Last three to do!
9d Sounds like.....pitches (7) -C-E--S. [I should add that pitches is underlined]
34d Kitty's on the boil! (3) P-T. Based on the letters, I'm guessing it's pot, but can anyone tell me why this would be so?
35a Internal fortitude..... (4) G-T-
Thanks for any help

a kitty can be a pot of money

35a Guts
kitty - pot of money
No-one seems to be able to get that pitches one, though your first to point out it's underlined, hmmm

[grasscarp]

35a guts

[chelle7272]

I meant 'you're' of course ...

[Touchstone]

guts
octets

[chelle7272]

touchstone - I'm not doing this one but am intrigued now..
could you explain octets?
(I've also just seen this answered elsewhere as accents)

[johnalex]

9d Accents

[grasscarp]

And accents as the answer explains why it was underlined.

[johnalex]

. . . . sorry chelle, only just noticed your comment

[chelle7272]

No problem johnalex, your answer seemed to make more sense to me than octets thats all :-)
