Thank you Ginge. I still can't parse the gun part of the clue but I trust that gast is correct. I am turning CS off now, so apologies if I don't reply anymore.

21) Gun has succeeded in producing scare for Marlowe (4) ??S?

I think it`s just `gat` for gun plus `s` ... short for `has` as in `gat`s` ...
to give `gast`

Nearly, Tyke - the 's' comes from succeeded (as per Chambers).

Thanks Todorovia! I should have known `succeeded` was there for a reason - will try and remember what is a useful device!
