Thanks, Jack! Got those and now have full a full grid. 21d and 28a remain unparsed, though.

Excellent.

The undevilled version of 21d relates to events of 44-43BC and should be read as '...in the senate? That wa/y'

Understanding 28a requires familiarity with Marriott Edgar's monologue 'The Lion and Albert', and the undevilled version should be read '...prodding that li/ve mistake?'

Hope that helps.

Thanks Jack. Clarified those perfectly. Printer's devils keep one on one's toes all right! Now for a clue...

Hard work as usual for a PD and I have one square unfilled. 27 down first letter. Hint appreciated!

The break is at g/etting, and the statement reflects a progression that someone might make after solving crosswords for many years.

Hope that helps.
