Intimate conversation about soft furnishings (6,4)
I believe the answer is:
pillow talk
'intimate conversation' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
'about soft furnishings' is the wordplay.
I cannot really see how this works, but
'about' could be 'a' (abbreviation in Chambers) and 'a' is found in the answer.
'soft' could be 'low' (similar in meaning) and 'low' is located in the answer.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for pillow talk that I've seen before include "Bedtime conversation" , "Conversation in bed" , "romantic comedy film" , "Conversations in bed" .)
