9a axiom
and yes 18a is Celestine

[themelthorpe]

Recently read RLS's Travels With A Donkey, so mucked up grid with the correct answer (Modestine). Are these xwords ever proofread?

18a:
Canonical text of RLS has "Modestine," sure enough, but some websites unaccountably say "Celestine."

[amtaff]

18across starts with a C so can't be modestine!
