Speccie 2252 39a. Sore as hell. I'.m lost here....have s?? . Please give a hint. Then I should manage 40d. Agree with the remark about some definitions. Must Hunt now through the list of works ( not read for many years).
I have found myself getting irritated with this, too many "not quite right" clues. Is 34dn abates? If so bate = temper but what does a+s stand for and is it bill as in account or Gates? This one I maybe just have wrong.
