[May-bell-09]

two clues I may have got right, but not sure if answer is correct!
22d - ASSOT or is it ASSET?
18a. - REAVE only one I can think of
Many thanks

Do you still have these clues ?

. . . and over an hour later, we are still waiting for May-bell to post the clues.

Perhaps May-bell has left the country ;O)

22d Ab sit ~ (Jack's appeal for leave of absence)

18a Re(ave) ~ (Rob gets on with prayer)

[sarumite]

Sorry .. 22d should read ~ Abs it

[May-bell-09]

Iam sorry to appear lax - my aunt died yesterday at the age of 104, ten days short of her 105th birthday - forgot about crosswords completely. Thank you, specially Sarumite as I need explanations! Could not find Abs it in my Latin dictionary.

[sarumite]

So sorry to hear about your Aunt yesterday May-bell, but what a grand old age!

Further explanation of answer to 22d is .........

Absit = leave of absence
Abs = jack's/sailor's
it = appeal

best wishes (S)
