Tolstoy or Durocher
I believe the answer is:
leo
This clue is a double definition.
'tolstoy' is the first definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
'durocher' is the second definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
(Other definitions for leo that I've seen before include "5th sign of the zodiac" , "Lion sign of the Zodiac" , "house" , "Lion constellation" , "certain stars" .)
