Last two! 18 down covetousness (8) ?i?l?u?r and 40 down in favour of (8) ?e?n?i?d thanks

[Mamyalynne]

18 Jealousy?

[Captain2]

Can you check your letters in 40d please Larchy

I'd have thought 'inclined'

[fiction-factory]

That would make 3 of the letters wrong, captain, but I can't think of a better answer

[elliemay1]

They seem to be the right letters but not necessarily in the right order!

[douglas9401]

Frenzied

[douglas9401]

Sorry, the clue is 40d, 'severely agitated'.

42 is 3 letters, 'in favour of','pro'.

[fiction-factory]

Thanks douglas. I wonder what the actual clue is for 18d then

[Captain2]

Thanks for that Douglas, we can all stand down now?

[douglas9401]

18 is 'covetousness', the i is an e from prelate and the r a y from fray.

[Captain2]

I'm lost again ;((

[elliemay1]

douglas is saying that the letter R should be a Y

[elliemay1]

^ pattern should therefore be ?e?l?u?y so jealousy fits

[douglas9401]

Aye, sorry, could have punctuated better, or at all. :-)

Anyhoo, covetousness = jealousy

[Captain2]

Me being thick again then - no change there - thanks Elliemay

[shoota]

It's a puzzle...
