Thank you Rosalind

All done now.

Not very satisfactory crossword for me ...too many "rare" words and obscure definitions ......what do others think of it?

No idea, never done a clue from the Spectator before. But love Shakespeare!

Rosalind, you'd probably enjoy this week's puzzle - there are eight characters to find.

Kirky, I enjoyed it - not too many of the usual easy anagrams, surplus words to identify and not finished during breakfast!
