Struggling this time! Help appreciated with 5d Old Greek herald who was unlikely to take to the piano. I've got S?E?A?R and 4d Novelist appears to wander around in listless fashion I've got D???I?L and 2d Austen heroine embraces Peake hero at noxious gathering. I've got E???E?A. Big gap in my lit. knowledge!! Thanks

Sorry, missed kayakamina's link.

The definition of empyema is an abcess or collection of pus in Wikipedia.... hence 'noxious gathering'? Hope this helps

[rangerjim]

Thanks Otleybard. I'd made life difficult for myself by putting DIVAN(a) thinking of Davina instead of BERTH(a)

[rangerjim]

Thanks Canariesfan. I take Kayakamina on trust but the word was new to me so the definition is appreciated
