So far, you have me thinking about Monty Python and the Ancient Mariner, and trying to remember any rules about adverbs not ending in -ly, but as yet to no useful avail... headscratch

Well, this should help a little:

The answer is not an adverb. But you've got the right idea about the albatross, in that it's being used metaphorically rather than literally.

Finally... Everything to the right of the comma is part of the definition. evil

...so coming from you that may well mean an arachnid that has lost a couple of legs (and is therefore moving awkwardly)... crazy lol

...more seriously, is the answer the name of someone who left play, or perhaps a play, under less than ideal circumstances (such as Abraham Lincoln leaving the theatre when shot)? hardwall

Antigonus, I think, killed in battle - ant (little creature ) + ig (big/colossal less first letter/beheaded) + onus (burden/albatross) taz

So that's where "Exit, pursued by a bear" comes from. Thanks Demosthenes! lol

Probably the only instance you'll ever see where the stage direction is better known than the play. woozy

Thank you: I had seen reference to that Antigonus and was aware of the stage direction but had not linked the two (The Winter's Tale not being one of Shakespeare's plays with which I have much familiarity). Probably more a case of left before end of play with alacrity! wink

A pair of clues this time:

1. Worried 2 panics, perhaps (13)

2. 1 worked in a special school (13)

1. vcvccvvccvvcc
2. cvccvccvcvvcv

and as you have probably already worked out, these are anagrams of each other
one of the consonants is repeated as are two of the vowels grin

1. starts with o and ends with s
2. starts with c and ends with e
the repeated consonant is r and the repeated vowels e and o (two of each)

I have to admit that the limited word play made these tricky even in a crossword grid where we had one or two letters from other answers crazy

We've got the words, Lex, just not the reasoning. smile

Wait, writing that did it for me. lol

1. overreactions
2. conservatoire

Each clue references the answer to the other. But while that's clever, I'm not sure it's fair. An anagram clue has to specifically provide the letters to be anagrammed.

Thanks Sue: as you say, these were stretching the usual more conventional parameters, especially as neither clue had any key apart from being an anagram of the other (usually when I have seen this device used there is at least one clue with enough wordplay to help establish an initial answer which is then the foundation for one or more anagrams in related clues}. catrub
