Have any of you answered no.19? - 'Best friend comes round the Close to give protection' (9) or 94 - 'Shakespearean items of headgear come from two extremes' (10)
New lines of thought (hopefully going in the right direction!) would be much appreciated.
Thanks.

Could that be "Juliet caps"?

Caps as in polar caps are two extremes.
A Juliet cap is a type of headdress but nothing really to do with a house.

[smouse]

trouble is its all one word
and dont be fooled by not being in a house they are literally anything in a house from make up to furniture

[Goofy]

not to mention windows!

[Lapis]

I think I may have solved no.94 - ?type of rain hat, but still no joy with 19 nor 52 'The would-be stalker's exclamation of discovery in hallways? '(8). Otherwise I'm finished and happy to help anyone who can help me!

52. I have HA TRACKS. Cannot sort out number 90. Grants prison-break. Can you help?

[lakegirl]

no.90 is an anagram. I'm stuck on 11.

Lakegirl

Thanks lakegirl. Number 11 to attack on board is referring to a chess board, and a move in chess. J.

Would appreciate help on number 97. Conflict about an inexperienced motorists window. Thanks

[lakegirl]

Thank you Jane Mark.
no.97 Another word for conflict around a learner driver, ends up as a window.
Regards

[jane mark 2]

Thanks lakesgirl, you have been a good help. J.

19 think of man's best friend, then an item of 'clothing' someone you might find in the Close would wear. Hope this helps.

[Goofy]

not sure who might live in the close.
Monks?
Friars?
both would equal habit, but no help.

[wymondham2]

Goofy ...think of something a vicar might wear.

[Lapis]

i.e. a collar!!

Thank you wymondham.

[Goofy]

silly me - of course!
