Something tells me I've seen this before but I'm still at a loss:

"Close to tears, concerned and frightened" = 'scared'.

And one I can't get (nothing obvious in Quick Solve):

"Drink's helping to eliminate resistance (6)" = 'P-T-O-'.

Many thanks.

end of tear(s), concerned=cared

potion = portion minus the r

should have said, helping = portion.
potion is a drink.(sure you knew all that anyway)

Thanks Trevor. I'd like to think I'd've seen the 'portion' aspect if I gave it a bit more thought..
