11a; Were it not for the wrong part of speech ,I would have thought that the answer should be "lucre"?
lucre = money (def)
Lure - attraction (noun) or attract (verb) but "attractive" is given in the clue, which is an adjective????
c- conservative
Are you sure the clue is correctly given?

Elle, the clue is correct and the answer is 'lucre' - it goes with all the down clues.

Hi, Pigale !
Yes, I thought it would have to be the right answer, but my comments about the part of speech still stand!

We are both , chiaroscuro!

The fact that we are "attractive", consequently makes us "attractions"!

(But , yes, there is definiteiy something wrong with the grammar!
