Help please! I'm stuck on these four: 16d A papal 5down 21 losing a 5 across 21 ward star. (8)I have ?r?t???s 19d Descant sung by by star ?l?a?? (6) - I wondered about altair as it's a star but couldn't figure out why. 23a I have part of little sister David the playwright's put in (6) ?h?r?? 26a Painter good-looking in red amid green?(6) ??d?s?
16d arcturus
19d yes-altair (descant = alt(ernative) air
23a sharer
26a I make it "radish" i.e ra = artist ;dish = goodlooking & radish is red amid green foliage
My one query is 4d. I assume it's "Europe" but don't see the connection with " loved by (bear)i.e 5d21". A Euro (money) link?
