I started well then came to a big full stop. Could some kind person help me with a couple of clues so I can get started again. The clues may have an extra letter in the word play.
1 down: Prince Hal finally found in modest surroundings for position of king (6) P????? 26 down: Bit left over from delivery - three-quarters of treat's somehow gone astray (6)
Thanks in advance.

No letter to be removed; first 3 words give two letters to be inserted into a 4-letter word meaning modest. Hope this helps?

[stymied]

26dn. 9-letter word for a delivery (cricket) less last three letters (a removed from treat).

[Ripper]

Thank you stymied, I've got 1 down now - but, I don't understand the delivery one (possibly 'cos cricket bores me!!!!!!) could you kindly give me a further nudge for 26 down?

[stymied]

Couldn't aggree more about cricket -- defined in BRB as "delivery that moves from off to leg"

[stymied]

P.S. feed the phrase in quotes into google (with quotes) should appear at the top of list (very close).

[Ripper]

Thanks stymied, I've now got the term (6 letters) I've 'removed' the A from treat. I'm still none the wiser! In fact, stymied I'm stymied !!!!

[Ripper]

Or..... does the answer begin with O ?

[stymied]

Yes!

[Ripper]

Hurrah! I still don't know why - but it works and I still hate cricket!
Thanks for all your help.
