If 19A is "copse," that will connect by pun with "cops and robbers." If, however, 19A is "Capra" (as in some versions), then MORTE DARTHUR works better. Key may be wayward wording of 19A clue. Where does one go to complain?

If it is Meldrew then how does rew parse with strange?

It must be MELDRUM, I suppose.
