THOU (art) TEACHEST

I'm afraid I can't see where that comes from, kayakamina, although I'm sure you're right based on your past record

Hi factor 30

Not my most confident answer but -
A Tea Chest would be in a move.

A master teaches ....In years gone by Thou art a teacher - Thou Teachest.

Just to add. I'll be very happy to know the correct wordplay as I always like to learn.

nescient also fits. Can't see how it answers the clue but it is close to an anagram of 'SEEN IN' with a CT coming in from somewhere!

A very devious clue. Spent 20 minutes trying to justify it.

I could not get The Owl of the Remove out of my head. Was it the name of a master at Greyfriars School (the only one I could remember was Quelch) or was it someting to do with a tuck box!

Many thanks Kayakamina & factor30
