Drunken toad is back, after an excellent meal! You're all very quiet.
I'll give you this overnight: The solution is musical, but the two clues are not.

I've taken the hints and have also been catching up on life. I have also enlisted the help of Mrs R who has suggested eco cat for the conservatory feline. I think the noisy mischief makers might be loud yobs, which all leaves a rather messy anagram which I am now too tired to solve...Originally posted by Don Petter View PostComment

No, and no anagrams involved. Perhaps I was too devious. Ditto about bedtime - another clue in the morning, perchance.Originally posted by rubbernecker View PostComment

I imagine most of you were up long before me this morning, and are keeping quiet, so it seems a clue is in order. This is where the loosening of a brick or two may well bring the whole carefully constructed edifice down round my ears, but here goes.
First, let me slightly modify the question, though keeping it phonetically the same:
What early songster emerges once a conserve-atory feline is chased by noisy mischief-makers?
Second, it is quite likely that the mischief-makers came by wagon.

OK thanks... I've simply been cogitating upon your question from time to time over the past day or so, can't make anything of it but the clues may help..."...the isle is full of noises,
Sounds and sweet airs, that give delight and hurt not.
Sometimes a thousand twangling instruments
Will hum about mine ears, and sometime voices..."

I had hoped the questions, and the clues, would have become less abstruse in my absence. (Stupid boy, OFCACHAP)...Originally posted by Don Petter View Post

well, I'm not completely sure - but the conserve is marmalade, and Orlando was the Marmalade Cat - and then I wonder if the noisy mischief makers might be gibbons - which would give us Orlando Gibbons - he of the 'Silver Swan' ?Originally posted by Don Petter View PostYou've got him! Complete, please ...?

Spot on vint! Perhaps it was a bit convoluted. I do too many crosswords, I suspect. (If I ever get back in, I'll try something simpler.)Originally posted by vinteuil View Post
To summarise:
What early songster emerges once a conservatory feline is chased by noisy mischief-makers?
We have Orlando (The Marmalade Cat*) Gibbons (renowned for their vigorous vocal displays, which can be heard for up to one kilometre, according to Wiki).
Your 'P', I think.
*Orlando (The Marmalade Cat) is the central character in a series of nineteen illustrated children’s books by Kathleen Hale, published 1938-1972Comment
