10 across is perplexing me "Fiddle with metal casing finally breaking." I think the letters are V?O?A?C?G. Is this fiddle as in some sort of musical instrument and starting VIOLA---- ? All help appreciated, thank you.
sorry about that, 7 down is "arrests partners holding hands without trouble" which I am now saying is "nails" only because I have N?I?S and the word fits! Not very exact, I know.
