Thanks Frugal & Bibble. Any explanation for fumette?

bibblebub

Here's one possible explanation:-

at the bottom right on this page http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chinese_phoenix you'll see that there is a drawing with the caption Drawing of a Fenghuang (Fum Hoam) by a Dutchman, circa 1664 and so if the fenghuang (Chinese phoenix) can be referred to as fum then the feminine version of that name would be fumette.

(can't find any links that are more direct)

Thanks bibble that is clearly the link. Any idea about 26a "Enough Shakespeare (5)" -E-T- . Also 22a "Act gladly for an audience (5)" F-I-- and finally 19d "Agent changing last letter for the author's final few words" (5) ---O-. Thanks in anticipation
