I need a couple of explanations or corrections. 12d NITH looks like NIT = WATCH? 11ac SANS - I see the French without but where does sickroom fit? Otherwise happily finished without too much help! Cheers, Andy

Hi,

Looking for help/justifications for 29a and 26d.
I've got bite (irritation) for 26d and went with contrite (thoroughly broken - crushed) for 29a. Tried various versions of "One torn & c", is "&c." another version of "etc"?

Cheers,

Don't know why I got "irritation" in my head rather than "irritate", I am liking rile better than bite now!
