      Though Amrita and Mona are Dynamic ladies, both are ruled out from the setting group "Dynamic Ladies".

    25A debut! If one attempts to 28A the best clues it will be the whole grid!. This should 4D them for many more 26A. Clues so elegant to 14D and for long it will 8D. It is not a grid for 11A to simply 27A. Nice Sunday fare especially when in the 3D of Corona locked in like a 9D and generally 2D. Keep them coming and many thanks Dynamic Ladies
