anyone point me in the right direction with my last two please?!

47a > Evil nonsense about backward-moving bird (8) N?T?*?I?

and

48d > One first lady upset another old official (5) *?E?E

48d intersects with 47a where the asterisks are!

thanks in advance!

Notornis and reeve

many thanks, trevor! completed now!

sorry jonny, did you want hints rather than the answers?
The thing you did with the asterisks worked very well. I thought.

im glad about that, i couldnt think of a better way to show it!

as for the explanations, i can see how they work now i have the answers, so no problem! im just pleased to have finished it twice in a row!!

that didnt really answer your question, did it?! sorry! i was just glad to get the answers in this time, which is usually the case with me, if i prefer an explanation, as opposed to being told, i\'ll try and say so when i post the thread!

trevor - I got the answer "reeve" but cannot totally fit it to the clue. Can you please explain your reasoning. Thanks.

Hi lindsay,
One first lady upset another old official.
re eve
One first lady upset=ER(the Queen backwards) + another 1st lady (adam +)Eve.
A Reeve was some kind of official - in fuedal times, I think.

many thanks trevor - I'd missed the queen connection.
