(8) or (9) as shown, chokkie?

 

[chokkie]

so sorry, can't count .... 5d is 9 letters a?d?r?t?l.  Thanks.

[Captain2]

Sorry, chokkie, can't think of anything; presumably you have checked your letters?

Hopefully someone who does/has done the crossword can help.

[chokkie]

hope so ... but thanks anyway.  Chox.

1a "heaven's"

5d "and Gretel" (goes with 1D (Hansel), not 1a)
