Hi everyone, I was suspicious of the bot too and did not rise to the bait. We work hard at our solving and like to share helps with each other. Just giving the final answer doesn't sit well with that.
Although I've basically finished I still need to finish 20d. I think it is
?RI and has lost one of the emotions appearing in the bottom line.
Any help appreciated.
Thanks.

Fgs... 20 D is just an ordinary clue - a 'mark of respect'. The 'embodied in...' should show you where the answer is.

20D : Sri ; bottom unclued I like very much, a mixture of desire and regret.

EmilyJ, sure, just ask away any specific questions, that's how the site works. No-one comes on here and says, "right tell me all the across answers and all the down answers." And no-one would have the patience to reply. Can't promise I'll be responsive to the minute, just at the moment I'm trying to catch a stream of the Jacksonville game...

meursault & malone...thanks and yes I am kicking myself!

Meursault, there's mention on the 'other place' that this Listener might have MIT involvement already...the setter's name might be an indication (Miss Terry/ Mystery).

Ah silly me. Got it now. But that leaves me with the question. Where in the puzzle is the one that had desire taken out?

Fgs... check 9D.

yes, it is 9D!

Last 6 of 9D gives desire. You've got to feel sympathetic, those mayflies are only here for a day ! Live your life...

Thanks Malone, as you know I don't always consult the other site...
