Oldyalan, think of a dog-like animal rather than rodent, I thought exactly the same as you to begin with

oldhalan you need the common name for

Vulpes vulpes pusilla, a subspecies of the red ***

Thanks LAINEY of course I gat carried away with the rodent, should have thought the answer would be slyer, it had me ---ed for a while

Re 14d. I have the answer but .............wasn`t that the name given to the British 8th Army, not Rommel?

Yes - I`ve googled. 8th Army Mags.

Hi Magworth google the name given me by Jazzgirl in post 22 which will give you Rommels nick name.

Thank you - how could I have forgotten that! I remember the film of that name. Mags.

Would someone please explain the parsing of 1 d ?
I have the answer but cannot see any connection to Bronte, nor `support`, nor points. The only clear part is `sis` !
Mags.

Ignore that ! As often, as soon as I asked for help I got the answer. The two dots above the `e`. Someone did mention the `e` but I was only thinking of the letter, not the dots. Mags.

Hi mags
It's the name for the two dots over the "e" in Bronte.
The first three letters are the "support raised", next three "before", then you have the relative.
