    I suspect the question is whether the insect is a Bedbug or a Gadfly...
    If I tell you it is the latter, will you be able to get the rest?

    Mercia - you did so well with Macbeth: you need another heath of a similar sort. When I said you were 'cold' that was a tiny clue...

    Sounds and sweet airs, that give delight and hurt not.

      What a pity Mercia has left.

      Now, sanity recovered, on the scent but shall stay in the background after :

      Music for a film of 1931

      Isn't there a Scene on the Heath in another piece of music for the theatre (1932) ?

        I am really going this time

        'night
        Sleep well mercia, thanks for tussling with my "S" If it weren't bedtime I think you'd have had it.

        Allez M'sieur Vinteuil - la réponse, bon sang! Viiiite!

          Maybe but the one I have in mind is from 1969/70....

            Is that the Russian King Lear I wonder? Blasted heath and all that. Just come back in, not sure where we are on this puzzle exactly

              Yes Anna!

              Mercia got Macbeth for one of the heaths but went no further before retiring. Vinteuil teased us with Gadfly but then went quiet...

                And I am afraid I am going quiet as well and follow mercia to bed. Absolutely exhausted after my battle with the fencing and an evening being an agony aunt.

                  I don't know which of the two suggestions you are referring too, dear Caliban, but if it is to music for the theatre it's up to Mercia, who gets out of bed much earlier than I do, it seems.

                  Alone = music for a Odne, a 1931 film. It is Op. 26. Op. 26a is a Suite, "Alone"

                  Goodnight
                  Sleep well.



                  With that I take my leave.

                    Got it!

                    But who will be first to state the conclusion?!

                      Phew, at last. Well... Yes, all film scores by DSCH: Alone, or in Russian, Odna (Angle); Macbeth (Mercia); King Lear (Anna); and The Gadfly (Vinteuil).

                      I think that as he was first out of the trap, and also pronounced the "S" word at last, the quality of Mercia is not strained and he gets "T"...

                        that's very generous of you ...........I think.
                        I thought that was all going to be sewn up last night
                        however .........


                        a T to connect

                        - Mrs Asquith or Peggy Hookham
                        - a zortziko
                        - an oriental garden

                            I think we are talking Danzas Fantasticas, Margot and Jardins de Oriente, aren't we ?

                              Danzas Fantasticas - the second movement is a Basque dance known as a Zortzika
                              Margot was forename of both Mrs Asquith and Fonteyn (Hookham) and the same composer wrote an opera called Margot
                              He also wrote Jardins de Oriente, Oriental Gardens.
                              His name was Joaquin Turina

                                oh, very well done Angle. I was about to provide a clue, thinking I had made it too obscure, but nothing's too obscure for you.

                                so the T is?
