List looks good

[factor-fiction]

Rule

[Captain2]

1a R-eli-ance

[Mamyalynne]

1a Reliance

[writesbad]

1d Rule (l in rue)?

[Lie-in King]

1a Reliance - 'Eli' (priest, in) 'ran CE'
1d Rule - 'l(ine)' (in) 'rue' (Fr. [Nice] "way"; street)
2d Yes, sounds like (picked up) 'Liszt'

[factor-fiction]

I just thought it was reference to Rule Britannia (and retaining a line), but the L in rue may be better

[factor-fiction]

I clearly got teh right answer for the wrong reason- I now see that rule (using a ruler) does not come from retain a line

[Hokeypokey]

Of course last night of the proms - Rule Britannia - should have spotted it
Many thanks all
