Can anyone explain these please?!!
1. He died after retirement; son wants satisfactory biographer Ans. Boswell
2. Saw Lady MacBeth's poor cat mentioned her Ans Adage
3. Engraver's house with courtyard surrounded by cloisters Ans Hogarth
4. Outline of ode finally penned by court poet Ans Skeleton

A saw is an adage but maybe someone cleverer than me knows about Lady M's cat!

Adage is referred to by Lady M in Macbeth act 1 scene 7

Thanks chrisg I will look it up.

1. OB = obituary in retirement (backwards)
s= son
well

4 Skelton was a poet - insert end of od(e) to get skeleton - outline

3. Hogarth was an engraver. HO(house) + Garth (quandrangle surrounded by cloisters)
