Have ground to a complete halt - Stuck on 2 down (5) useful person at author's lecture - may make notes S?E?O and 3 down (9) the ........... clashed their swords together several times (TJ Hogg Memoirs of Prince Aalexy Haimoff) cannot get any more letters - I had thought 2 down could have been a musical instrument but cannot find anything with these letters. I would be eternally grateful for any assistance offered
