Hello. I thought this puzzle was straightforward on the whole ( I’m glad to say that after the one last week!). Of course ( being me) I do have a couple of questions.
Character actor’s words have singular sympathy. I’m confident the answer is kindliness but I don’t get the “kind “ part.
And similarly
Drop in at home as in the past. The only word that fits with the other answers is “ instill” and I suppose that can mean drop in but I’m not really clear about this one.
Still and all, finished well before i’m called for my bath.

Character = KIND
actor's words = LINES
singular = S

Sorry, should have said 'kind' is a synonym of 'character'

Hi, Stevenj, I agree - much better this week! 'Still' can mean 'as before', so in the past works fine. Instill, to infuse, drop in slowly...

PS And for Instill, I'm sure you had the usual crossword 'in'= at home.

Thank you, Captain2 and NAC. ( and I’m sure The Winner thought I was looking for explanations rather than just confirmation) . And still time for a bit more reading!

Just seen my mistyping: “ and I’m sure, The winner. Though ( not thought) I was looking for explanations. “
