I seem to have finished 1899 but don't have a hard copy of ODQ to check the 6 unclued lights 2D, 10D, 11A, 31A, 32D and 42A. I have followed the leading clues and am fairly certain I have the right words connected with the accoutrements of 24A (AMICE, MOYGASHEL, AMARANTIN, TYRIAN, AUBERGINE, BYSSUS). Hope I'm not giving too much away...
Does anyone have a free, easy link to full text of ODQ online? (I have just tried to download 1.0 from 5 Star but my computer is very sensibly blocking it for security reasons)

looking up the 6-word phrase in any copy of the "original source" will give you the required information. Your 6 unlcued lights agree with mine, for what that's worth.

Many thanks to all of you for your invaluble help!

"Hope I'm not giving too much away..." Er no, not at all, you've just listed ALL the unclued entries for any ignoramus to fill in. Well done.

Thanks for the compliment QM.

Wasn't aimed at you - don't you know your own quotes?

[Rollo]

I don't see that the fact that it was not aimed at me precludes me from posting a comment.

You should tale a leaf out of your own book, and say that comments from certain people are not allowed - if that's what you want to happen.

In the meantime I will carry on answering questions.

Have a nice day!

Oops - sorry about the 'total giveaway' - needed to be sure - won't do again (slap on wrist) I guess that reduces my chances of winning a prize again.
