Got doleful now too!
But what is 9 ac:
" closes up page" (7)
???O??

BUTTONS = closes up = Page (boy in Cinderella - was it that fairy story?)

Yes, Buttons was the servant of Baron Hard Up, Cinderella's father.

Thank-you, Elle. Fairy stories and pantomimes are not my specialist subject!!

It is part of being a grandparent, Brackendale!

I have five grandchildren - but fairy stories and pantomimes remain a bit of a mystery to me! But, when the word "page" came up in the clue, I immediately thought of Buttons. Why? - I don't know!

Thanks Elle and Brackendale
