I'm sure someone will give you an answer, but although we don't all do the Times crossword it doesn't mean we can't solve the clues. However, we do need, as a minimum, the clue and preferably any placed letters as well. Many thanks.

4d--Patient investigator keeps one grounded,beginning to search for objects
d-m-r-

13d---One disappearing from sight in cruiser solvent again
-b-v-/w----

I think 4d is demur = object to . dr doctor emu grounded bird and s beginning of search

13d above water?

Is 26a ropy if so why?

Hi there. Just confirming that 13d is ABOVE WATER, as you suspected. Explanation is .. VEW ('sight' = 'view' less the 'i') inside A BOATER ('a cuiser').

Hi Diana,
(u)T-WEE-TER is TWEETER,

Diana,
26a The answer is rversed in the twenty portraits.
Best wishes,

Many thanks --Diana

In response to Diana\'s question about whether 4D could be \"demure\", it is actually \"demurs\" (patient investigator = DR.(DOCTOR)which contains
EMU (one grounded) + S (beginning to search, all of which makes \"objects* (DEMURS))

You have to read backwards to get ropy.
