AZED

[swarbrules]

Can some-one parse 16 for me please.

[Lie-in King]

Easier to do if you post the clue & answer - which I'm presuming you have?..

[swarbrules]

Trying not to give away too much. And hoping an Azeder could answer without helping too much.

Women in scarlet stuff take in unfashionable bar LAWCOURT

[Lie-in King]

Oh, sorry! I haven't looked at an Azed for yonks, but -

W(omen) (in) 'lac' (red resin) + u(?) (in) 'ort' (fragment, esp from a meal) (?)

[slaney]

Perhaps W(oman) in red stuff LAWC and..
take+R in unfashionable = OUT OURT

[slaney]

Sorry, take=R

[Lie-in King]

Doh! Completely missed r(ecipe) = 'take' (in) 'out'

[swarbrules]

Thanks folks.

Slaney (Hope your first name is not Abe) That's how I parsed it aftyer L-i K's reminder about LAC but, why does R = Take?

[Lie-in King]

As above ^ , 'r(ecipe)' is Latin for "take"

[swarbrules]

Thanks and thanks to the Dancing Man.

[slaney]

Not Abe, thankfully swarbules - I had forgotten about that Conan Doyle character.

It's so rare for me to even half get in front of Lie-in King, I shall bask in the memory for the rest of the day!

[swarbrules]

Yes, we owe a lot to L-i K. Next is to beat his fellow altruist, Kayakama.
