two queries
1d get ready for pool in knitted garment
????m?r?
Is it cashmere ? (Not really a knitted garment)
50a characters from 47 (Verona) flanking small servant (10,9)
I have the answer but don't know which of the two words I should put in plural. I am inclined to put the first one into plural as there is only one servant. Agree ?

thanks sallyw. I gathered that but as I said cashmere is a fibre NOT a knitted garment, poorish clue.

sorry, I should have said first word plural, 2 gentlemen of Verona, second singular, servant, singular.

As it says servant, singular, I would go for gantleman's gentleman myself as it seems to fit the definition slightly better.

I agree with Sally,
Gentleman's Gentleman.

The Two Gentlemen of Verona are, on their own, a Gentleman and another Gentleman, with an S (for small) inside.
