I have just found this site. As an avid Rainbow puzzler, I have read the threads with interest.
I have 6 still to solve, 19 and 94 of course, but I would welcome clues to no.42 Maids who get their employers tired at first fail to pay for the dishes, 5. 8. and no.11 ....it can be used to attack two men on board, 4. I have some ideas but they just don't seem right, and where on earth do I start with no.96?

Hi jake
I saw this answered by someone else,
Maids who get their employers tired at first fail to pay for the dishes, = welsh dressers.

tired, with "at" first=Attired (dress their employers)

welsh(on a bet) - fail to pay.

Jake no 96. The mad hatter in Alice in Wonderland is the man with a price on his head and he is quoted as saying "why is a raven like a WRITING DESK! I hope this helps.

Thank you so much for your help. The fog is lifting.
Apologies for the double entry.
Thank you again.
