Much more fun that last week's joyless trudge, but puzzled by this one.
9a Source of inspiration after retirement perhaps caused bewilderment (7)
Looks like 'bemused', except that 'muse' (source of inspiration) is not after 'bed' (retirement), it is inside it.

Use of the phrases “after retirement” or “before rising” can be used to mean “in bed” so you put the other piece in “BED”

I see, thank you Candledave.

28a "Baffle fool, hiding face" (5). E?U?E

Can only see ELUDE but not sure

Any help much appreciated

Fool is Delude, hiding face - drop the first letter. Elude.

Thanks malone. That was my last one in and this week's Jumbo seemed less tricky that the Prize which I'm still struggling with.

Morning all....Can you please help with a parse?
7d Brazenly turn up inside with pride (10)
I have A-R-G-N-L-
I believe it is arrogantly but cannot see why.....all help greatly appreciated as always!!!

go is the turn reversed inside arrantly

Turn = “Go” reversed (up) in “Arrantly” (brazenly)

Thank you all...never heard of arrantly before so shall add that to the crossword memory bank!!! After last weeks crossword we had to look up the word loquacious.... our 4 year old went into school telling her teaching "I am loquacious...it means I talk a lot" and won the superstar of the week award for teaching everyone a new word!!! More families should do crosswords....it certainly expands my vocabulary every week!!
