Is it just me or have the last two days been really difficult? Would someone please explain the answers to:
1a Landowner exhibits peculiar behaviour, briefly disrupting hunt . A Squirearch (I'd never heard of that) . Hunt = search but how do I get quir?
10a King's daughter entertains a former president. A Reagan. King=r but eagan?
13a Detailed, yet not fully worked out. A Thorough. Yet =though but how I do get or?
20a Helpful hints suggested by this servant . A turnspit. Never heard of it and can't see how clue works
12d Editor called up writer in order to produce newspaper. A Independent. Close but no cigar. Ed called up =de writer =pen , perhaps use the in but still lacking dent.
Thank you

10a Regan is Kink Lear's daughter

1a maybe quirky = peculiar behaviour, then briefly = quir

[ulysses100]

10a Regan is one of King Lear's daughters, then add an "a" to get (Ronald) Reagan

[BigDave44]

That should have read "King Lear" !!!

[ulysses100]

13a thorough(ly)

[BigDave44]

12d an Indent is an order - you've got all the rest

[ulysses100]

12d editor = ed and called up = de
writer =pen
to order = to indent

[BigDave44]

I think the other clue must have escaped from the Telegraph !!
