Feeling a bit thick. The clue is "Exuberant force, group mostly seen with love in revolutionary outfit" (12).
I have R_M_U_C_I_U_ , so it can only be Rumbunctious (exuberant def.) but I'm blowed if I can see why. Help please.
Thank you. That will teach me to use a dictionary in future to check the spelling of words I don't routinely use. Now I can get some rest. Once again, many thanks.
