Tom Reaches 1000!

More Tom Swifties.(For example "I'll have a martini," said Tom, drily.) As ever, grovelling apologies for any re-runs

Some of these are very clever and quite tough, so being all heart, I've given you first letter and length as a starter ·

Great solves, guys!

3. Grandly.

How appropriate!

6. deliberately

Did Mrs. Worrier deliberate you?

Congrats on the big one-oh-oh-oh!

Thanks, Bob! That was a great answer, far better than mine! You get an honorary cigar

I'll leave mine open for a while yet...

These are always so much fun, Rog!

8. bellowing

Congrats Tom

4. definitively

6. engagingly.

Hi Rog.

Good call, Cheryl!

Gail - nice try but not mine. What is a deep voice known as operatically?

Remi - nice try, but doesn't start with that letter...

6. Disengagingly?

Getting closer, Lex - you've nailed the first 3 letters. Think "in an offhand manner"

6. disgustingly??

6. dispairingly

6. dismissingly

I had thought of detachedly for 6, but that is not enough letters, nor is disunitedly.

How about disjointedly??

Sherlock gets my answer, but notes have been taken of all the others!

8. basically

Nice finish, Cue!
