Spectator # 2480

[Matakari]

Good morning,
Thanks to the lovely hints and answers from ProfessorMaisie, Calibax, Shoota, Helewel, I’ve made great strides. I have all the unclueds except one which I should soon get as soon as I fathom a few remaining clues. I’m studying a hint given in a previous thread for
4(A) Together, brutes briefly help the old order (9)for which I have the letters: SA?A?E?OH ( Are these letters correct? )
Now, HINTS for the following should get me through, thanks in advance!
4 Second student in empty, flashy display (7) : S?EUR?E

[ProfessorMaisie]

For 4a the 'h' is wrong - it starts SAV(e) = 'help' ['briefly'] + 4 letters for 'old' plus a 2 letter abbrev 'order' - def 'Together...(meaning, collectively)...brutes'.
For 4d your first 'e' is wrong - the 5 letter word going around L (for 'student') means 'to clear' and begins with P.

[Toorak]

Your first e is wrong - it should be the usual letter for a student

[LancastrianOik]

Yes; S + a verb meaning "to empty" with an L inserted should get you the answer.

Ok, I've come up with "savagedom" and "splurge" for 4(A) and 4(D) respectively, but am still stuck with:

11(A) Live international back on a roll (6): BE?G?LT ( At first, I thought- BEIGNET...) What's wrong here?

And are my letters right for the unclued 10? ?E?PT?B?A?

[roslyn251254]

11a is only 6 letters so no T at the end ...it's an alternative spelling of the usual american roll... the letters you have are correct
10a the A is wrong ...it's split 4,4,2...you've spelt the nobles wrong in 7d ...they are hidden in the clue...( alternate letters)

I've got it all solved now, and it was quite interesting, indeed. Thanks to all who helped so graciously! Have a fine weekend!
