4 Answers
Morning All, last 2, then I can start on yesterday's! I have answers but need help seeing wordplay.
37A Block of shares, say, making husband ecstatic, T_A_C_E, must be tranche (=block), but why?
56A Disposition of medium shown by intentional pronouncement, T_M_E_A_E_T, must be temperament (=disposition) but again why?
Afraid your only reward for helping will be the loud thump as I kick myself, but thanks in advance!
