Thanks malone.
I have removed some words but not sure what the connection is. Message will help.


44a seems to be E. African ending in I. Not sure of parsing.
Got 41d now.

What is the extra letter in 26a and is 10d thematic?

Thanks orson.

Rifle is a three letter word in three letter word for Uniform for poets.
It would be 4 letter for us prosaic folks.

Starts and ends with the same letter.

My 10 D isn't thematic.
Look at the last word in 26 A for the extra letter.

OOps. My parsing for 1d may be wrong.

But I have a word with what a King would do when dressing.

Thanks malone.
Is 4th letter of 10d a D?

I did figure out the quote and hence what has to be removed.

About 5 left.
A hint on 24d would help.

24 The definition is the last two words in the clue (a single letter is removed from there, but you'll know that from the quote).

No, the fourth letter of 10 D isn't D.

46 Anagram ('perturbed') that'll lead to a captain of cavalry. A thematic entry.
44. Straight clue - there's a big hint earlier in the thread. The definition is East African...

42. Hard to give a hint... I'll keep thinking.
