Last one - 20d
Hardy one of seven writing off two articles? (6)
?T?R?Y

It looks like STURDY, but I can't parse it. Also the solution to 7d gives STARRY as a vague possibility (I won't spoil that one).

Any thoughts?

Last one (19D) proving troublesome,
any hints welcome:
Feeding kid, too much material ( with a mouth for 23) (6) -O-T-N. The N is supplied by 28A which I can't completely parse yet : Sovereign ruled country gutlessly, tending to make mistakes (7) E-R---Y which I have as errancy.
