Any ideas for 3B please?

That certinly has helped (I hope)!Many thanks to both of you!
And Rosie:it's EASY TERMS.
Now for the nitty gritty,n'est-ce pas???!!!

DON'T LOOK IF YOU DON'T WANT TO!!!
I need confirmation/correction of following ideas for the across solutions :
8A SMO?S 8B JAMES ???
11A theine (but why?)
13A ?I?S?S?S 11B ?M?E?R?S
14A MOTIVE (why?) 14B C?R?R? (carrs obv.involved)
15B ?N?E?S -- must be a T somewhere
19B strait (but why?)
21B repose (S "carried over")-- why exactly?
23B sea plane:don't get Durham connection despite earlier correspondence!
24B sargo (explanation lacking)
25A frilly (from frail-ly?)???

GK, I don't have the puzzle any more, so this is from memory - excuse any lapses!
14 A - Emotive(touching), e-motive (as in email)
14 B Carers - carrs +the 'e' from A
21 I think I had 'repost' - repot (plant again) + 's' from A.
11 I think was 'theeing' = thriving. A got 'teeing' and the 'h' went to B.
Hope this is of some help!
