Hello. Again a bit late. Went to see His Nibs play yesterday. He, of course, was fantastic!. (oh, a nd SWMBO released me eventually, from my Andy Pandies because the weather had improved. So, hopefully, that is that. Though with storms ahead, I can't be sure.n And then he took me for a drink last night. So crossie had to wait .
I have finished it.But have a couple of questions.
2d. "lowest point of rebellious playwright after female disappears. The answer has GOT to be "nadir" but where do the playwright and the female figure please?
35d Just cared having moral sense. The answer seems to be "right minded" which sort of fits the mood of the question. But, tbh, I can't quite fit it together.
and, finally,
26ac Draw on book jacket of "Candide" for entertainment. "Tap dance" fits.And that, I suppose, is entertainment. But what gives with Candide and book jackets?

As ever, please advise
steven

2d Nadir - '(She)ridan' - "female" disappears
35d Right-minded - 'right (just) minded (cared)'
26a Tap dance - 'tap' (draw on) + 'Dan(iel; Book of)' + 'C(andid)e' (jacket)

35 Just = Right
cared = minded

Apologies Steven, I should at least have said "Hi" :-)

Thank you to all three of you. As always your explanations clear the fog. And you are all so generous with your support.
