Has anyone got to grips with this today? I am floundering again and - please - need a push. Help with 10d might be a place to start - Butters we snare through covert approaches (10) there will be an extra letter somewhere. I have ? W???TA ??S

Definition is “butters” but not as in food!

Thank you Thom. My letters were right then. Can you help with 15a: protein from trees captured by honoured artist? (7). I have E ? U???T. Same rules as before.

Well done buddy. I think I’ve really made too many errors today. Just one more appeal and I’ll take a break: 14d: bender perhaps could result with one being articulate? (8); I have L? U? ET? A

Buddy, I think 7a is a word for a grand French house with c (about) and at (to) removed. The extra letter is inside
