For some reason, I am almost done with RHS, except for one. LHS many pending.

RHS 22a: Providing warmth for Grace (8) ?U?C?I?N

LHS: 9d: Horrify a Greek islander on mountains (11)

19a: Appropriating your ideas, as you thought (10)

Help appreciated

Thanks Toorak.
I thought of unction but could not figure out why Grace?

Anointing for divine grace

Thanks Toorak.
Three remaining but let me ask help on 2.
10 Either way they are facts (6)
4d. Conductor's indication is lacking authority (8)

Thanks.

10a needs an added letter

A palindrome beginning and ending with s that means facts - with the extra letter added the definition is position

4 a musical term - the first beat of a piece of music

Thanks Toorak.
I had to look up 4d.
Depressing that I did not know the alternative meaning.
