thank you nonplussed all finished now

While I was looking for #17, which I've now found, I came across an anagram for merry + search - cream sherry. I'm taking this as an encouragement to pour a glass to help with my last three, which everyone else seems to have got: #9 (have looked for synonyms of painstaking and words starting with st followed by synonym of passenger, without success, #24 and #35.

Hi calliewag
9. The answer is another word for a road
24. A city of 3 letters is in the middle of the answer
35, .An anagram of 4 words in the clue gives you the answer of 2 words both beginning with G

Thank you, Anotheray. I'd been thinking about books for 35, but although I know of the work I've never read it so didn't recognise the reference. And have found 9 thanks to Bradford. Will give some thought to the last one tomorrow when my brain's in gear.

Got it!! counted my answers and realised what it had to end in, and light finally dawned.Thanks again.

Appreciate any clues for the following:-

26) Church Times is ordered by scientist (7)
28) Maybe leap to defence, initially, of the young creature (7)
32) Vehicle for thespian after tour, disheartened (7)

Sorry have got no. 32,
I meant to put
26) Church Times is ordered by scientist (7)
28) Maybe leap to defence, initially, of the young creature (7)
34) A bird returned - covered in detergent! (5)

Thanks for any `clues` :)

If anyone is still posting on this forum I am new to it and new to this quiz too. I am struggling with numbers 2 & 4 & 8 which must be very easy as no one else has asked for clues. If anyone is still posting please agave me clues to these three and put me out of my misery.

Hi larissa and maggiesue -
2 anagram of gone with gg( horse) = a drink
4 seven consecutive letters with in the clue = water ice
8 first 3 letters of a month + co(company) + it = fruit
26 ch(church + anagram of times = a scientist
28 anagram of 'leap to d' = young creature
34 anagram of weight = ct (for carat) + 6 letter word for secret = name for a jewelled collar
It's all in how you 'read' the clue. Hope this helps you both. Good luck

Sorry larissa gave clue for 33 in error
34 Is five consecutive letters within the clue written backwards ( returned) =a bird
