60. nurse = sister
in (retirement) = ni
nurse goes round in retirement = sinister
with one = + i
outwardly touchy = ty (first and last letters)

whole thing = sinisterity, which means strong on the left.

hows that.

Thankyou Gandolf and nonplussed. Got as far as looking for anagrams of il et and gi or am but still can't work it out. Also looked up boots and tried to find 'fellers boots' especially ending in rodes? but still no luck . Will keep on trying. Incidentally I can spell extremities!

Struggling to convince myself about number 84, which is the last one I need now. The "Garbo" bit would seem a bit obvious, but I can't really be sure of it. I did consider "Brass", as she was the woman in Dickens (O.C.S.) who rejected the advances of Quilp, so it may be considered that she wanted to be alone, but even that is a bit far out!! Will keep at it though!

I've not solved nearly as many as some of you but am plodding on, done about 60, some of them only possibles at the moment. 78 I an instrument of torture which fits but cannot see that it has anything to do with the clues given. Have worked out a word for 60, took me ages but has nothing to do with extremities as far as I can think. Even 9 and 10 are eluding me at the moment!
