Cut stone for walls
Ribbon for a bow
Dark juicy fruit
Tap dance pro
Big emergency
Aniseed spirit
Stalling for words
Fiery parade torch
Quick on your feet
Scribbled reminder
Fashion hub of Italy
Travel industry
Kitchen smells
Before right now
Mocking tone
Getting things dirty
Hit by love
Moral wrongdoing
One condition
Design detail
Worth a peck
Life's work path
Fancy night do
Victory at last
Old-school record
Just like that
Brutally honest
Speaks it aloud
Andean empire
Borrowed sum
Toy in a dress
Little stream
Not a drop wet
Rings on a hood
Deer or rabbit
Near the tonsils
Slow sea whirl
Switched to go
Bot with smarts
Odd thing out there
Needle for a shot
Down with a bug
