Thanks Malone. Now I can start on the italics!

You're welcome.

I've finished this but don't know what's been removed from the solution to the italicised clue, 'Sham settlement with rat bodes ill'.
Any clues welcome, maybe try not to give the game away....I understand fully the other two similar clues and what's been removed from them.

Baaa.

Is definition sham?
Female baa, male baa or baby baa?

paste boar d - defn is sham
pa synonym for settlement

Sorry for sending you off on a wild goose chase, lumen - I got my animals (and clues) mixed up!
