Forgot to add why THE(ORB)O!
It`s an instrument(play)like a large lute.

34a Are you certain of the L?
AERIE fits the clue AE = Aged
ERI = Ire (angry) reversed

Hi DJ,
Just one piece of advice,you will never solve this without the 11th edition of Chambers.
All good wishes to you.
Jerry

hi jerry. thanks for the tip. the chambers i have is pretty old now (the 'new edition published in 1993) so i think there are probably a few gaps.
