NO. 9. NUMERICAL.

The _whole_ is a thing that drives away harm,
Defined by dear Webster as "a charm;"
My 5, 6, 2, 3, 3 is by the same called "not much;"
My 6, 7, 8, a "vassal," "subject," "person," or such:
My 5, 2, 3, 1 is "taste," "savor," or "a sailor;"
My 1, 2, 4, 3 of a coat is oft shortened by a tailor.

Now I think you have all you require to solve this numerical;
If not, I will tell you the _whole_ relates to nothing clerical.
