21A A contribution to what reduces hostility (6) I Ha.ve H _ B _ _ _
22D Check balls out (5). Is that BINGO?
18D Duck call enthralling you, as Jack may be (3-4)

Gosh, thanks everyone! If only you could hear my "Ah, of course" sighs! that 23A was pretty clever. Actually, a lot of them were. I wonder if he ever reads these! See you next week!
