14ac. I know it's MOULINS but can't parse. Is it parsable or "just what it is". It's bugging me

moul(d) is the shape

Mould in ... D is cut ... S (small)

clicked too soon!
moul(d) in (by) s(mall)

Thanks all. Still not completely come to grips with Mr McLean - not too happy with 4 dn, definition-wise either.

Me, too. Don't know enough about Apollo to know why the plural = striking lads.

Apollo is defined as 'handsome young man' , as well as the Sun-god meaning. Striking lads are handsome young men.

Thanks again, Malone. I was too fixated on striking either meaning hitting or going on strike (I was trying to find a word beginning AWOL ... !)

Crosswords might well help defer dementia, but might just make me crazy instead!

Thanks - that makes sense. But it's definitely not my clue-of-the-day; by miles.
