...one little parse please...everything else complete...
19d Deprive backward person hiding it in the sticks (4) ?EAP
There is an extra "P" in the clue ...so assume the defn is derive ...giving REAP ...but how does that parse please?

[Neveracrossword]

Per = person, backwards = Rep, with A = It, it's listed in Chambers.

[Flocker14]

short word for person backwards over a dialect form of it

[saladdodger]

Thank you Neveracrossword and Flocker14

Nice puzzle today

I have finished all but the last part. Any hints which 4 letters need to be changed. I thought I had the answer to the cryptic clue but can’t find it in the grid.Thanks.

[roslyn251254]

look up the defn of the last headword from the extra letters in Chambers ...then look at row 9.....
