I cannot parse 32 ac
Delight where penitents were found. All being knocked out (4)
The answer seems to end with EE - which points to an obvious solution. Is there a biblical reference somewhere. Any help appreciated
Thanks

Is it Ali rather than All?

If it is, Googling the longer word with "penitents" will turn up something I didn't know!

I think it is Ali (as in boxer), and yes, Biblical. I've finished but cannot parse 10d or 21d (presuming I have entered the latter correctly).

Not precisely biblical, in fact - try the Google I suggested.

Thanks all. My eyesight is playing up (a bit like the referring of the line out at Twickenham).
It was of course Ali
All clear now

Lastclue,
10d. is a word for 'yielding' (adj.) + I in an old word for 'fashion'
21d. def. is 'cutting off'. 'I' in a Scots word for 'fuel'. This was my last one in.

Many thanks Mattrom (I had 21d correct - it's the Scottish words that often defeat me).

I was inspited to finish this week by the review in the Observer at the w/e - 50 years is astonishing. He has been compiling these for the whole of my life!

Thanks Brendan for drawing the article to my attention. I will be at the Oxford dinner - will others?
