Just finished the crossword and was wondering if others have the same answers as me for a couple of clues in the SW corner, a few of the clues seemed a bit tenuous this week.

54a) Edited middle of fairy story to include a moral improvement (11)
E - I - I - A - I - N.

I have Edification

Edited M(i)d(d)l(e) = Edi ?

Fairy story to include a = Fic(a)tion

56a) Something in nectar from this kind of cut flower (7)
S - C - O - E.

I have Sucrose

This kind of = such, cut = Suc ?

Flower = Rose

31d) Regulerly seen on line, supporting precious child (7)
T - E - N - E.

I have Tweenie

Regular letters of o(n)-l(i)n(e) = nie

Supporting precious = twee

Are these correct

I think it's because I struggled in that corner Tony, I never thought of 'Twee' to mean precious, more like quaint or nostalgic.
I thought the 'Edi' of Edification was a bit unfair, seeing that the word Edited was used first.
Sucrose was fair enough I suppose.

Enjoy the rest of the night, and cheers Jazzgirl
