20D Skill, dexterity or manners (7)

I have A?D?E?S which looks like ADDRESS but this isn't right surely. Any suggestions?

perhaps APTNESS

Kilgore....

The D for 20D comes from this clue:

24A Owner of a large estate (5) L?I??

If APTNESS is correct then LAIRD would be wrong. I can't find a variant for LAIRD as LAIRT.

Any suggestions?

I got address as well.

Chambers gives ADDRESS as both "adroitness" and "deportment". Who knew?

Ok guys, I'll go with that.

Thanks so much !!
