i am puzzled by 9 across--which looks as if it must be 'to dinners'--but what sort of a phrase is that?
Conceivably one of my down clues might be wrong--perhaps 2d, for which I have 'elder.'
Thank you---but, heavens, how obtuse I was not to see it, especially after having whistled through the rest of the puzzle. Do you think that sometimes the Prize is deliberately easier so as to encourage a large number of entries?
