thanks - how about 34 acr - local escorted offspring STE?

sorry to be so dense about these - its the first time I've tried the puzzle.

24dn sprain has been given before with E=Spain but cannot reason why r= quiet

If you intend to try and solve these puzzles in future then I would recommend that you get a copy of Chamber's Dictionary -- you will find it immensely useful for all of the obscure words.

I cannot help you with 34ac at the moment -- I cannot see a word that fits the clue

thanks

34a is SEE D, a dialect variant of seen. Not sure where you get the 't' from?

[meabby]

the t came from 28d in 'after' ?

now im really confused!

[Quizmonster]

The 't' in 'after' doesn't cross with 'seed'.
