1a: "What's held by brother succeeding partner of his" H-R- could be HERB, but not convincingly?
8d: "Mistake bull without tail" T-I- ?
13d: "A learner to annoy drove almost totally" -L-O-E-H-R probably ALTOGETHER but why?
20d: "Note no thanks put up, not in any mode" is ATONAL but why?
Many thanks.
