Find the third word

[Rusticmaid]

Stuck on the last three - two word clues which when put together sounds like a third word - see example below:
23) Restrain; made sound expressing sadness (4;6) third word has 8 letters
24) Covered inner surface; reply to question (5;6) third word has 6 letters
26) Cornish coastal town; money (slang) (4;5) third word has 4 letters
Example - Caper; Humerous (5;5) Antic; Witty = Antiquity Sequence of third words are in alphabetical order so 23 & 24 come between INC and LOC and 26 comes between LOC and MAD. Can anyone help please?

26 Looe & Dough = ludo?

[Rusticmaid]

Yes thats sounds fine - I'd got Looe but I couldn't do anything with the money part of it. Thank you!

2nd part of 23 is likely to be "sighed" and side in the 8 letter answer.

23 curb; sighed - KERBSIDE

[elliemay1]

Kerbside? Kerb sounds like "curb."

24 Linedancer

[sunny-dave]

Lined + Answer

[squarebear]

I was thinking that but line dancer doesn't have 6 letters

[sunny-dave]

True ... but it fits too well to ignore

[squarebear]

I agree.

[stocksman]

Sunny dave. I thought of that but too many letters

[Rusticmaid]

Kerbside sounds fine too. Thank you!

I think you may well be right with number 24, it fits the clues too well. The setter does not normally make many mistakes but I have known one or two so I think I will go with linedancer. Thank you for your help!
