Can somebody please enlighten me as to the relevance of part of the following clue?
5d We are absorbing lines, notice, being so learned? (4-4). Answer (presumably) .. Well Read.
The part of clue I am puzzled on is "notice" which I think provides the final letter "d". Bradford's Dictionary also shows "d" as being a possibility for "notice" but doesn't say why! I would be really grateful for an explanation. Thanks (S).

we ll(lines)re (about) ad (notice)
No .. mine is wrong , but can't make up my mind whether kayakamina or eddiebun is right... perhaps both!
Question Author
Think I've misinterpreted the answer as being arrived at thus ...

We + ll (lines), then .. Rea (are) + d (notice)

Thank's all for answers.

you and eddiebun are right. I think K was providing additional background info.
S I was trying to illustrate how just a plain D could be used by a setter !

Many thanks K ... I was puzzled how the letter D could represent 'notice' ... although I now appreciate it was not so in this particular answer.
