6d(10) ?I?m?????s - equip mother with stage parts-long, rambling pieces.
20d(4) ?r?? - good riders in trouble show courage, initially.
13a(6) ??c?e? - one of four making a disturbing noise.
17a(4) ??e? - they're left in the vessel and shelter near the end of the bows.
23a(10) ?r???s?g?s - they object to professional examiners.
I thought 17a was probably eves, but the 6th letter in 6d is the same as the
1st letter in 13a, and the 8th letter in 6d is same as 1st letter in 17a also the 4th letter of 23a is the same as the 4th letter of 20d. Thanks for any help.
