Have two remaining, opposite each other in the grid. 4 Down:- "Ferrara family runs to fat" 5 letters and I have E-T-R.
25 Down:- "Essentially the other Alexandre Dumas overshadowed son" 5 letters and I have P-R-E.
Any help appreciated.

first one Ester
Ferrara family = Este + (r)uns
Ester is a fat

Thanks, chrisg - thought it would probably be ester but I am not at all familiar with the Ferrara family.

The other one might be "per se", Dumas' father (pere) was called Alexander too? Overshadowing the s from son.

Many thanks, Matt S! I've been a dumbo and taken it for granted it was a 5-letter word, but, of corse, you're right, and it IS what you said. Normally, I should have woken up by now!

HI DE HI CAN someone anyone fill me in on this blessed FERRARA family AND who might ESTE be. And how were we supposed to know???? LOLTOAA Thea
