Finished but the parsing of one completely eludes me:
19A Break from working not possessed by fearful energy (10)
.O.T.A.E.E . Can be only contravene? Help!

The Craven in Contravene means 'fearful', +Not, in clue ( possessed = anagram it,?). +E, energy.

C ont raven e.

Thanks, Malone and Chrisg. I would take craven as cowardly rather than fearful?
