18d;Took care of the issue[7]
I have B?B???T
The only answer I can get that fits is BABBITT and that does not make sense to me. I have a 'S'' that fits in as follows
B?B?S?T
The ''S'' is part of 'Sheaf'' which I have as the answer to 26a;
''Will the writer set about the first of his books here''
Any help out there?
