You haven't given the clue for 7 D, so I can't help with the parsing.

Thanx to all re MAXINE.

See previous reply re IGNITE. Don't know how I missed that as I looked at it all ways for ages!!!

Same here, took me ages - For those without the paper:-

7d. Set off from meeting, initially somewhat upset

What threw me was the inclusion of 'Initially' and 'Upset', which is usually an anagram indicator - that's my excuse anyway!!
