CORNING
not the tableware
Being this is the Cornhusker state, it is heard periodically.

TOCSIN

NOCTIS
RE CONDIGN...a word I didnt know but have since looked up. (glad you got to post it Wofa). I also enjoyed reading the Prompt Book for the Mikado and the side notes and stage drawing...what a great thing to find.....but then, I guess you know the word by heart!

NOCTIS
S-->A
ACTION !
"And so
Although
I wish to go
And greatly pine
Tp brghty shine
And take the line
Of a hero fine
With grief condign
I must decline!"
Having been in a couple of Mikado productions, and experienced first-hand the complexities of staging, this was eye-opening.

UNFASHIONS-->L HALF-UNIONNot to mention the gold coin first minted in 1877, about 2.8 ounces of gold and worth about $50 at the time. (I'm not sure this helps us out of the alley we're currently stumbling around in blindly. I thought for a moment I'd found something with "FOUNTAINS," only to discover with chagrin that that's where we came from in the first place...)

What a mess we are in: but confidence we will pull out of it.
I've had several hyphenated words that could make some sense, but
this seems the best to go forward with:(e.g. nuns halo)

I remember a family with kids in a school where I taught, whose
last name was Hazelton. There is a publishing house with
books for addicts, named Hazelden. So it is good enough for me to get us back in the game.
Thanks wofa, lots of work went into this one
