Cover places to rest and quietly read (9)
I believe the answer is:
bedspread
'cover' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'places to rest and quietly read' is the wordplay.
'places to rest' becomes 'beds' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should believe this answer much more).
'and' says to put letters next to each other.
'quietly' becomes 'p' (p for piano and quiet).
'beds'+'p'+'read'='BEDSPREAD'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for bedspread that I've seen before include "Coverlet" , "Cover" , "Counterpane" .)
