Hi Carole

16A. chant = monotonous song
brief conversation = chat
new opening = n (opening means 'starting' letter of the word 'new')

26A. website = homepage
where to take up spinning = web site

35A. nutshell = a hard case to crack
maniac's = nuts
nightmare = hell

68A. need = require
previously named = nee
five hundred =D (in roman numerals)

Good luck Carole, hope this helps.

Hi Carole.

15D. regent = monarch's adviser
example = eg (abreviated)
eg + the letters of 'rent' = regent

31D. blathered = went on and on
soap suds = lather
'lather' into the letters of 'bed' = blathered

64D. damask = fabric
american attorney = DA
veil = mask

Good luck in the competition Carole!
Regards, Butterfly Very Happy
