She always appears in a forlorn attitude (5)
![Ross](/clue/static/ross-mug.min.png)
I believe the answer is:
lorna
'she' is the definition.
'in a forlorn attitude' is the wordplay.
'in' indicates the answer is hidden within the clue.
'LORNA' can be found hidden inside 'forlorn attitude'.
'always appears' acts as a link.
I am not very happy about this link. Some or all of it may belong to another bit of the clue.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for lorna that I've seen before include "and 21 Down: Novel by R.D. Blackmore" , "-- Doone, novel" , "-- Doone (book)" , "girl" , "Female" .)
