26, HELD EN TENOR

23d.Bilbo?
22a.To boot

[Daij]

21a confused me - I expected the first five letters to be a palindrome - the letters I got scotched that idea.
Yes, I'll be glad when I get 16d so I can stop typing it.

[Baldric]

21, COMELIER

[factor-fiction]

To boot is right
I don't see the Heldentenor, Baldric- is that one word or two?

[Daij]

16d is now;
?P?T?i?E (SPITFIRE?)

[Daij]

Yes, it is SPITFIRE. Thanks to you all.

[Calibax]

Heldentenor is Held + No. in Enter

[Tilly2]

What has spitfire got to do with bar cashier? I can see the shrew bit but not the other part.

[factor-fiction]

bar= spit
to cashier= to fire

[dannyk13]

Spit is bar and cashier is to fire someone from the armsd services

[factor-fiction]

It's the sptfire shrew bit i don't get- I'll have to look it up, along with heldentenor which i assume is a sort of tenor singer

[dannyk13]

Spitfire & shrew. Both terms for a nagging woman
