Finished very quickly today but cannot parse this one .........
15d: Delay in overtures to new alliance (9)
the answer is STONEWALL = delay (def)
Please can someone explain?
Thanks , Malone!
I can't believe I missed that - I've stormed through more supposedly 'difficult ' clues , only to miss the more 'obvious' one !
I can go out now with an easy mind!
Have a good day!
Hi ,Jazzy!
Yes, I was hung up on similar things!
I could see 'to new' in the answer and then 'stall 'as well as 'stonewall' meant delay..... very confusing (to me)!
