    I refuse to accept that the BBC Light Programme series A Life of Bliss starring a very young George Cole and his dog Psyché is in any way obvious

      Here's a quickie: an N to link Rossini, Fauré and Saint-Saens. (Nota bene: no ******* around with teasing Christian names )

      Sounds and sweet airs, that give delight and hurt not.
      Sometimes a thousand twangling instruments
      Will hum about mine ears, and sometime voices..."

        Everybody knows that!

        Mind you that's a worrying idea. Shall I call the RSPCA?

                  Well well well.... I suspect you're not wrong about all that. But it's not what's on the card...

                  Noël is 7 letters shorter than the answer on the card

                  Have another go, Monsieur Flay

                          Partly!!! Hadn't thought of that!

                          You're there, I suspect.

                            My guess is that it's Mrs Flay who has got the gloves on & Mr Flay is taking it out on us

                              Louis Niedermeyer.

                              I love Google translate (from the French Wiki page):
                              The school opened in October 1853 and operates a boarding school set austere discipline. Students have a couple of pianos, an organ of 12 games and a piano pedals. Niedermeyer itself and, later, Camille Saint-Saëns teach piano

                                Mrs Flay figured in my earlier post, but I deleted her as what I had written was, I felt, slightly ungentlemanly!

                                But tha' may not be wrong!!
