PELTIROGUS (Horatio Peltirogus mentioned as a possible suitor to Kate in Nicholas Nickelby)

Can't get anywhere with this, Kate Nickleby's young lover was Smike but don't see how it fits.
looks like an anagram of 'lust i grope' but that doesn't produce anything

Question Author
Agree with both of you. This setter is odd I have to say with many of the clues having no literary connection and answers being recherche by anyone's opinion. I have been met with bland indifference by the TLS.
could end in urges
6th letter is an R, now, ff.
Question Author
6th letter indeed an R
thanks. Looks like an anagram doesn't it
Rectorages might be a word
?E?T?RAGES
Question Author
Gave up long ago on an anagram. Am willing to be persuaded by rectorages!
Is the S at the end definitely right? I wondered if it could end in RIGHT (although I know that spoil the anagram)
Yes, last letter is S
Question Author
Last letter is an S.
Thanks. For the anagram to work it might end in RIGES rather than RAGES
PELTIROGUS (Horatio Peltirogus mentioned as a possible suitor to Kate in Nicholas Nickelby)
Well done :)
well done!
Question Author
Obscurity made plain. Splendid answer!
Definitely worthy of BA
i thought it was too obvious to suggest peltirogus as an answer
