In a bit of a muddle.
4dn, 'Legal visit interrupted by teacher' (9), ??A?U?O?Y. STATUTORY?

If so, conflicts with 17ac, 'Impossible to know time lost by arbitrary visitors at funeral?' (8,5), A?Y?O?Y? G?E?S.
'Anyone's guess'?

Statutory

Stay + Tutor

Anybody's Guess

Gues(t)s

anybody's guess

Stay - visit + tutor - teacher so looks good.
Anybody's guess? (any body's guests with T for time lost?

stay around tutor

anybody's gues[t]s
