Alphabet associations - I

[Flay]

L of a memory Flay what about something that isn't second hand?

No memory skills, I just put "Keble" into the "search thread" box and hey presto!

And no worries. AA has covered most of Wiki by now.

Sadly I haven't checked if this one has been used before. No doubt it has, but hopefully the clues will be different.

Give me L

A 1915 shipping tragedy

Belinda’s hand

A Byzantine monastery bell

I was rather too lazy in setting that. The third L is the act of doing the first and second L

You mean somebody like Philippe Rogier?

[Flay]

Am I barking up the wrong tree?

[amateur51]

not Mime is it?

[subcontrabass]

You mean somebody like Philippe Rogier?

No, it is the name of the cypher using musical notation.

You might find it easier to start from the second clue: a messenger personified in music. An additional clue is that this one appears in third place but by a different logic might have come first.

In the third clue the elf is disguised (and also linked to one of the answers to the previous round).
