Inquisitor 85

19ac (PURPLE): I can't see one arrives at this from 'Cardinal's robe Jack left in Peru'. Similarly, 17ac (MAFIA ) and 'Money accepted by fellow in a criminal gang'. Could someone please explain?...

times crossword clue

A clue in yesterday's Times Crossword read: 'Titled heroine from log cabin?' The answer's given as 'Emma'. Can someone please explain why? I can't see the connection.

generalist january

Thought I'd finished but 5th letter, 'b', of 'danube', clashes with 4th letter of 'quattrocentists' where these two words cross. Is there an alternative spelling for either word? Many thanks.
