[Matakari]

Good morning,
Just had an interesting reread of Doc's "Contrary" offering
and am somewhat flummoxed by 33. Caught between the two
Marys, I'm not sure where to turn, to Ambree or to Smirke?
Thanks for setting me straight! Cheers!

Any letters details?

[bobbinwales]

And is there special instructions??

[Neveracrossword]

Ambree is in Brewer's, the other isn't.

Bobbinwales, this was a themed crossword and 33 is an unclued answer.

[bobbinwales]

okay thanks. So the clue wasn't "caught between the two Marys...." so a was wasting my time looking for an answer with C or Ct in between MR or with MRS in

[Neveracrossword]

Thanks, Bobbinwales. Yes, Matakari was referring to thematic stuff, but it wouldn't make sense to anyone who hadn't seen the puzzle.

Ambree seemed to me the clearer choice, though I'm not sure it's what Doc intended. I'm left flummoxed by 10 (unclued), have -A-Y-U-T-R and can't think of a suitable -U-T-R - can someone give me a gentle nudge please?
