GRID
For 1 A, best I could come up with was:
ReplyDeleteRefusal = No
You = Ye
Also = And
The "to enter" is to indicate that No and Ye are in between.
Weak, but I eagerly await enlightenment.
Hi Jotter,
ReplyDeleteYour Anno looks perfect
Also, for 19-D, could it be Strains? Found 3 meanings for it as follows:
ReplyDelete1) any of the different lines of ancestry united in a family or an individual.
2) Music. a section of a piece of music, more or less complete in itself.
3) the tone, style, or spirit of an utterance, writing, etc.: a humorous strain.
19D is strains.
ReplyDeleteJotter, Your anno is right
Jotter's and my comments crossed each other
ReplyDeleteThanks, gentlemen. It is a joy, and a learning experience, to visit this blog circa 8.30 AM (8.00 PM where I live) everyday.
ReplyDeleteMaybe manna is doing a triple definition not merely a double definition
ReplyDeleteOne of the setters did a triple definition earlier also, maybe it was Manna
ReplyDeleteI wish everybody a very Happy Deepawali
