Hi
Just checking ...
Presuming 15 ACROSS is NONNY
Clue: What hid obscenity to an appreciable extent when adult is not? (5)

Can someone explain wordplay.

Thanks in advance.

Everything but the 'Y'!
NONNE?
Don't know why-though
It is from the old ballad

Hey Nonny nonny & hey nonny no which was used to cover an obscenity
Thanks kayakamina. I still don't see the how the bit about the adult fits in (non-NY?

Thanks Kayakamina - will go with NONNY, but don't quite get the 'when adult is not?' bit. Feeling a bit thick as getting over the flu.
A = adult

Non N(a)Y - adult is not
It's probably something silly such as most of (appreciable extent) "no nanny"
Kayakamina's explanation is better. I have never liked the Mephisto
