Titus.

Thanks for that.

73. The whole answer is a singer and his first name is contained in 'Just in Time' and the start of his surname with 'break' and the first Lady.

No.88 Aesop had a story about a walnut tree and this is a variation of it:

A woman, a spaniel and a walnut tree
the more they're beaten the better still they be.
