62)Ernest Worthing (The Importance of Being Earnest "A Handbag!!!")

[slaney]

62.Ernest (Jack) Worthing... Importance of Being...

[pquinlan]

You're good to your neighbour, nice to see.

Think 62 is Ernest Worthing, character in Importance (ref to this in clue) of Being Earnest who was found in a hand-bag. His real name is Jack but he assumes the name Ernest.
52 sounds like it could be Sinbad but wrong no. of letters.
For 72, Lewis Carroll's real name was Charles Lutwidge Dodgson, this be along the lines of the solution...

pquinlan, you're right about the sailor. Spelled Sindbad.

64. Eliza Doolittle

[blueterrier]

She has Sindbad, its one shes not sure about but I showed her it on google and it seems it can be spelled either way!
Thanks for all your speedy replies!!

She has Captain Hook or Captain Kidd but neither were shot!

Any further thoughts anyone on pirate officer shot?

[crofter]

A HOOK can be a shot in Cricket or even Golf. It is also used for a certain type of blow in Boxing!

Has anyone got a convincing case for an answer to

Q83 Courtly shepherdess on the Circle - but no line (5)?

[blueterrier]

Im told its Phebe.

That is Phoebe (from As You Like It), minus the continous line which makes a circle or O.

Any help?

[swannbaker]

83 looks a bit like Circe to me .

[juliely]

Thanks everyone

[blueterrier]

My neighbour had ruled out Circe as she was both a sorceress and enchantress, apparently no mention of her being a shepherdess.

This is from Google:
Kirke (Circe) is the daughter of Helios (the Sun) and Perseis, which would make her the grand-daughter of Okeanos (Ocean).

On her island... in her palace... Kirke waits for lost sailors to come wandering to her door as supplicants. Normally, a traveler is treated as a special guest but with Kirke, travelers are drugged and then served as dinner.

[slaney]

As you Like It fits the "courtly" bit of the clue....
answer could well be Phebe, but I'm still toying with Celia (disguised as the shepherdess Alenia)
