PS I do not recognise carroll as a word in regular useage - it is
a common county name in the USA however
I also now wonder if 20d is tomcat or bobcat ?

[Lie-in King]

20d Bobcat - 'BBC' (popularly called 'Aunty') + 'at' (engaged in) (hugging) o(ld)

Lewis Carroll - http://en.wikipedia.o.../Lewis_carroll#Oxford

[novalis]

20d is bobcat
