Two interlocking clues have got me stumped.
22 Across Refused second funding following note for ever(7). -a--ao-
16 Down. Hooks daughter popped into dresses under jacket (8) -a--do--.
Thanks, o wise ones!

22a if you correct your O you should get it.

16d Begins with H

Good luck

Stuck on the same two and still don't get it!

Thanks K, have now got both answers, I think. The erroneous 'o' in my solution to 22A was a mere slip of the pen which I hadn't noticed till you mentioned it.

Mephisto 2598
The last (the very last) one in a not much fun Mephisto.
11Across. Beast I left in centre for lollygagging (4). -ila

Hi sallyw

I've come in for a bit of stick for giving full answers to an 'advanced' puzzle.
Can I suggest you put the H in 16d as I hinted to elsewhere and you should get it.

It's not Gila, is it?

11ac is gila as in gila monster. Centre of lollygagging ga and il in the middle.

yes

Ooops!
I have just read K's posting (which arrived while mine was being sent). Sorry if I have offended protocol.
