As we are moving towards the end of the week I feel comfortable in asking for help. I am still struggling with the surplus words, though have identified the author.
I am missing a word ending in S. Is it in 34 across?. If so could someone hope me on the parsing. I am also missing the final E: I simply can't see where it is.
I have the name of the asterisked person and see that the moved words have something in common - given my species I should have been able to see this much sooner
Thanks to the ever helpful Malone (post 51) I have the four pertinent words as well.
All in all a good week with the pups arriving here to holiday on the sandbank.

Hi Williamseal,

The extra word ending in S is 33a, which is one of the eight incorrectly placed clues.

Great news from the sandbank:-)

Sorry Williamseal, ignore my last post - I completely misunderstood what you were asking.

Williamseal, the first word in 34 A is extra.
My final E is from 11 D.

PS Glad my earlier post helped.

Thanks Malone

Could you put my mind finally at rest by parsing 34 ac - otherwise all fine

always appreciated. I'll have a glass with Mrs Seal, but not one of the four!

Williamseal, glad that helped.

The first three letters of the answer = Live (pronounced like 'give'), the fourth letter = from (Think of thomas.....)

Hi. I'm stuck on my last two answers on this and wondered if someone could confirm a couple of letters.

1A does this start with a p?
26A is the second letter a y?

Any help much appreciated.
