I'm a week in arrears with my Jumbos but
could someone please confirm that these
two answers are correct, and if so, why?
38 Down - "Domestic finally covered
with diamonds before all is over". The
answer is CINDERELLA, who will be the
domestic and "ALL" at the end has been
reversed, but I don't see the remainder.
Also, nearby:-
52 Down - "Tree with failing crown
which may fall and inconvenience
walkers". Is this ARCH (with LARCH
losing its top)? Arch of the foot?

Also, the definition is Cinderella. I dont help out very often, so to get the chance, even if it is late, is welcome.

Thanks rocketman. I'm completely stuck on the right hand side. If someone could help with 8a it might get me going.

City female felt illiterate, we hear - the woman given pride of place (9)

No letters :(
