Only just got round to it ! Stumped on 2 short ones; 25A You expect well of her (4) H???; and 26D Be matched against and lick (4) ??A?. Thought BEAT for latter but can't see where B fits in former. (Assume 12D is "At first hand"??? Thanks, been a long, wet day!!
Thanks both. Sometimes, novalis, tenuous is putting it mildly; I mean, look at 27D, a full stop there is hardly fair, is it! Anyway, time to waste another 26p...
