18d Arc light = 'shiner' - anag 'tragic + h(ospita)l' (emptied)
52d Oder = river (flower) - sounds like 'odour'
33d Sa-van-t - sat = 'placed' (round) van(guard) = 'front'

[rangerjim]

52d probably ODER the river, a flow(er)
33d Van (the front) surrounded by sat = placed

I don't have this paper -

agree the answer is savant .....

but 'savant' means a scholar .... the clue above states scholarS

[Lie-in King]

Hi taize - the clue in the paper was a 'Scholar'...

[taize]

thanks Lie-in-King

18d) agree with answer ... but, what is the connection to the word ' tragic'

[Lie-in King]

Clue reads "Shiner tragic - hospital emptied for treatment"

[taize]

it's hard enough doing cryptics without the clues being written ouy inaccurately!!

was 52d) written as flowers or flower's

[Lie-in King]

Written as Flower's...

[taize]

a hatrick then .... all three clues above written out inaccurately!!

thanx

[meabby]

[Lie-in King]
