Spectator 2063

Hi

I got round to this very late.

Can I check my final few

26a unarmed knight was in pain once

Naked (I assume aked is old spelling of ached?)

40d fairy gold pastor rejected

Elf

In the message that you have to spell out I assume last word 5d is worth

Thanks in advance

Dja

[sandyRoe]

yes, Pelf minus the P...pastor

[djawhufc]

Thanks do you agree with other 2?

'I assume aked is old spelling of ached?'

You assume correctly. I am only clarifying aked

Thanks i have that shaney but I thought the quote round the outside relating to two hundred years .... Had to end in 5d where the only sensible word seemed to be worth

[shaneystar2]

Yes of course sorry Dja ..it is rather late ...artist and poet of worth .
Good luck xx
