Yes, of course! Just trying to get 29 AC now
which was mentioned in the first of my AZED
batch. "Spidery parts making wife take refuge
in inner chamber". (8) I now have - - - BEL - -

Cribella

Thanks, Rosie - I got this one before I went to
bed this morning! But am now left with these
two:- 9ac. - "Most of St. Laurent's weight lies
behind what's excellent for audience re
special gear". (6) I have HY - OI - -
The last latter of this answer is the first letter
of this one:- 10 Down - "E.g. tributes, central
portion thereof given over for divinity". (4)
I have - E - S. Could this possibly be Zeus?

Yes ZEUS , other one is HYPOID

Thanks, xwordfan! Unfortunately the "D" of
the one across is the first letter of the one
going down. DEUS possibly?

It is Deus. E.g. tributes = DUES and "central portion thereof given over" gives DEUS

Brilliant! Thanks, Steve. I've finished this one
now, but still can't fully figure out two of the
answers. There is 23 Down, which is "Acacia
giving a bit of shade over garden path". And
24 Ac., which is "Mouse's tail's out of place
in this church alcove?"
The answers I have are MALLEE and SHRINE

23D is SALLEE = Acacia
S (bit of shade) + ALLEE (garden path)

Thanks again, Steve. I hadn't entered "mallee"
because I couldn't link this plant to an acacia
but your answer is obviously the one.

Help please.
15a. Having a nap when do's lacking vitality. (4) ?in?
Thanks.
