Two that I assume correct but not confident because can't parse. 5d One's novel's a triumph (7) SUCCESS. I have S?C?E?S 24a. Existence enthralls Singer's magicians (10) ENCHANTERS. I have E?C?A?T?R?...
Romped through this but fell at the very last fence as is my wont. Humorous satirist's mockingly contemptuous, I'm told (4). I have SN?I. I have some ideas but none satisfactory. Any help?
Last one (as ever). Story of a failed marraige had losers in a state (9). Unless I've made a mistake it's: R?S?H?L?E. Riseholme fits the pattern but not the clue surely? Help appreciated (as ever!)
Last one. 25a Mate in bed? That's crude and not allowed (3). P ? L. Mate is pal but how does the rest of the clue work? What obvious thing am I missing?
Last one, as so often (am I alone and in that?). 22d Blood group picked up as possible error in Dracula (4) ?Y?O. Is this the typo in the film (close-up of Renfield's card which shows Reinfeild) or...
I have just one left on which I've given up after a sleepless night and unsuccessful Googles. 20d The pair that's seen in a humble dwelling in a Walter Scott novel (6). I have ?O?H?E
I'm stuck on my last one. 2d One who portrayed Hyperion primarily in earlier times, with nothing to give up (9). Unless I've made a mistake it's H?L?E?U?N....
Last one been bugging me all morning. 4d. Place seen on the up by Earl Buchanan's alma mater (4). Y?L? so couldn't be anything but YALE as alma mater, but why?...
Either I'm completely mistaken or solvers are somewhat short-changed parsing-wise in the following two clues. Am I on the wrong tack? 5d. Young lady in a seaside resort in Spain? Just the reverse (5)....
Given name of secret historian, a name to agree about (5). I am pretty confident about what I have, namely A?N?A. Annya parses satisfactorily but I have been unable to find any connection with Samuel...
As so often, my last one on which I've spent too much time, and since experience has taught me that I'll kick myself I might as well get it over with: New tears spilt for girl who got seduced (8). I...
I'm stuck on the last one: 21d. Asian at last in a state turning up here (6). I have ?I?N?A. So the solution must be VIENNA (VA round N and IEN reversed) but I've not been able to find anywhere called...
23d. Proverbially, a tailor makes this part for man (5) I have N?N?H (So NINTH but why? Stitch in time?) 25d. These Sappho designed, essentially (4). I have ?D?S. (Could it be EDES hidden? If so, why?...
I have one to go in yesterday's Guardian. Car's board to break — a bit (4). I have ?a?h. The answer is, I presume, NASH, but I'm at a loss trying to parse it after spending about 15 minutes on it...
Beast of burdene eating beside pit (5). I hava A?Y?N but sincc after a long think I'm getting nowhere, I'm beginning to wonder if those letters are right. Can anyone help?
I'm late for a coach I'm due to catch and have one clue left which I simply can't get even though I'm sure it's obvious: Established in fashion, this industry? (3,5) ?A? S?A?E. Would one of you good...
