Does 45 across Melancholy in Milan begin with ME and is it in Chambers. Can't find in on-line Italian dictionary.
Thank you for help.

No it begins PE jenniferd and it is in chambers

good luck

[jenniferd]

Thanks very much. Just assumed as Poverty in Peebles began with P that 45 across would begin with M. Silly me!!
Will now go and search - have tried OneLook on-line dictionary and it's not in there so Chambers here I come.

If you need further help on this one, it's towards the end of following thread. 45a was also the last one for me and gave me problems because I had Zecchino instead of its variant Zecchine for 35d.

The last one I'm stuck with is 13 ac which doesn't seem to be a problem for anyone. I thought at first it was Hairy Mollie which was a caterpillar I came across in Ireland but that won't work as have a B as 4th letter and T as 6th of 2nd word. Clue is Caterpillar of tiger-moth. Is it Hairy Hobbit???

I've been accused of being too quick on the trigger, jenniferd, so I won't spell it out. It's tricky - two possible solutions. but ask if you want the answer(s).

[sarumite]

jenniferd you're right with Hairy but second word is WOUBIT. In Chambers it is only shown under the W listings. ☺

Sorry Aqua, our paths have crossed .. Hopefully not en route to the tower !!

[jenniferd]

Thanks both. I was a bit quick coming back with a thank-you and prompt in a later post. As if you wouldn't check this post again????!!!! Must rush out now to my driving job or will be late for pick-up.

13a) Hairy Woubit / Hairy Woobut

both are in Chambers ... the word woubit is given first with woout, oubit and oobit as alternatives.... then Hairy Woubit is listed as �ahairy caterpillar, esp one of a tiger moth; applied derodatively to a person, ofetn implying smallnes and shabbiness.�

hi Aquagility .... I am typing slowly too! :-)


jenniferd - I am not sure if you have or have not got 45a) now ....

if not, then just put your letters into this solver ...
