[quinie]

Hi, writesbad,I've been trying to work out no2.How did you arrive at Military Two Step,please.Not an anagram of the words given.

[factor-fiction]

Is it not an anagram of "portly waist time"?

[quinie]

Sorry,I must have had a senior moment there!!

[writesbad]

Hi Quinie
If you look at your dance card, it is the second dance after the interval...

[spaldinglinc]

how do you get quickstep from the clue for no 3(living relative from a previous marriage)????

[grasscarp]

there are the quick and the dead, so quick equates to living
and a relative from a previous marriage - like your partner's child from a previous marriage is a step...
I might of course be completely wrong

[chelle7272]

living = quick
step = relative

[beckersjay]

quick=alive + step as in stepmother

[mike11111]

Quick means living, as in the quick and the dead. Step as in stepson &c.

[mike11111]

I think 1 could be Gay Gordons!

[quinie]

Hi,mike11111, I think you could be right. I kept thinking gin but not Gordon's gin. Quite a devious clue!

[spaldinglinc]

thank you all so much i would never have got the quick & the dead clue nor gay for pink ice

[sandyRoe]

Doesn't angostura bitters give a pink tinge to gin?

[mike11111]

Yes, but drink with tonic suggests gin (Gordon's) and pink suggests gay.
