Hello LottieAnne . . . .

6d E+dict (order) . . . . E(nglish) + dict(ionary)
Answer was given by sedge at the beginning, I guess you must have missed it.

10a This now leaves you i?n?a?, presumably N is front of Nightdress but only a suggestion. Is your A guaranteed? Will try and call back later, ja.
