Redistil ? reverse of bright = lit - not sure how the redis part works. Sider = partial spirit??

Sluse = Milton's spelling of sluice (sounds like s'loose)

The 'sider' part is a reference to someone who takes sides...ie is a person ('spirit') who is partial.

Sorry, John, your most recent response wasn't there when I started typing above. It's definitely 'sluse' with an 's' to fit the crossing word.

I suspect that I - Quizmonster - was a member of AnswerBank before Quizmonkey, so I think we need to be referred to in abbreviated form as QM1 and QM2 respectively!
