Thanks jazzgirl. I'm a little slow today. Won't be winning any races ;-)

Too hot for me Harlequin, so I'm putting my 4 feet up ;-)

Can't figure this one out.

28 ac. Hit in two seconds? Almost five times as many (5) SM?T?

Could it be anagram of times - smite (hit)

It could be JazzGirl, but that would not be in keeping with the standard of Mephisto. I'm beginning to think I have something wrong. 29 dn would give the third letter. 'Ring for old counterpart' (4) ?P??

Well, spit is a word for a counterpart (spitting image) or "dead ringer"

I think I have figured it out as 'smote' s and mo are the two 'seconds', followed by 'te' (nearly ten) which is five time two

29 D. Oppo? (counterpart).

Yes Malone, I found 'oppo' in Chambers. That was a tough bottom left corner. Thanks to yourself and JG
