Hello. I thought this puzzle was straightforward on the whole ( I’m glad to say that after the one last week!). Of course ( being me) I do have a couple of questions.
Character actor’s words have singular sympathy. I’m confident the answer is kindliness but I don’t get the “kind “ part.
And similarly
Drop in at home as in the past. The only word that fits with the other answers is “ instill” and I suppose that can mean drop in but I’m not really clear about this one.
Still and all, finished well before i’m called for my bath.

Thank you, Captain2 and NAC. ( and I’m sure The Winner thought I was looking for explanations rather than just confirmation) . And still time for a bit more reading!
