3. Comforting to hear about what trees do in the spring. (6)
4. Two physicians discuss anomaly. (7)
5. Cover up the sounds of what the English barber does. (7)
6. Steal what a crook sees and hums. (10)
7. Reportedly what a bullfighter needs to do is unnecessary. (9)
8. How golfers create divots is unclear, sounds like. (5)
9. What owners of waterfront stores do for greedy shouters. (7)
10. Guy settles dispute about employee leaving Arby's to work at Wendy’s. (10)
