leisure pleasures

[Suel]

Can anyone please help with pointers to the answers to my last 3 questions. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

No.28 Nick was well-versed by words Alice spelt out (7,4)
No.46 Between the covers - where Fiery Fred played ?(7,2,3,6) I think this has something to do with cricket/bowling.
No. 93 Sailors had the Queen of sleuths in stitches with a yarn (10) I'm thinking embroidery here but not sure?!

All the answers contain some form of leisure pursuit.

no 28 find the angram of a famous author from words alice.it is a poem written by him which relates to 'a nick'.Think of prison.

not sure on 93 myself.!
do you have any clues for no 31 please ..with final proof mafia godfather bernardo is seen at the gambling table (4)

[Suel]

Thanks sjs. I'll have a look at No 28 in a mo.

With regards to No 31. look at the last letter of 4 of the words, these letters spell out a card game.Good luck!

93) think of a word for a number of sailors, then think of detectives. You want the first name of one whose surname is in the clue.
46) a book with cricket in the title.

You will find lots of clues to these if you seach for Leisure Pleasure
