Some lovely clues, but I'm feeling dense. Could busby (or anyone else) parse the clue @3? I see "girl" and the definition but am otherwise at a loss. Don't spare me; I'm prepared to be embarrassed.
Also, I assume that "eel" in mattrom's second clue is intended to be a "bridge", to serve as part of the definition and as homophone for "conger" (New England is the only place in the US where it works as one!). Is that your intention, mattrom?
