Thanks malone and xwordfan for your help. I had Romance but was unable to parse it, so an explanation would help.
I see I've got one wrong, malone, for "heard". My E comes from "teaser" the answer to 28d: Drink from tea service? No crime in that!
It seemed too simple, tea service less vice. I must learn life is not that simple.

You're welcome, Despard.

I think 32 is Roman +CE are the churches in schism, Romance is the medieval narrative.
