THANKS MALONE. However the letters solved are definitely E?R?T

Apologies to all. I have been working on an incorrect clue; answer is EGRET

Hallgreening, the 24 A in my paper has a different clue - so I just answered the words/clue in yours. I don't know where, but Egret was an answer I entered earlier today - that would fit your letters!

Wasn't it only 5 letters?
Agent, shadow, one acting on behalf of another. A Gent - A man.

Sorry, it is only five letters.
Thanks for the answer, but this means I have 5 across wrong.
Empty one container into another (6) - - - A - T
