Hi cadaisy

My entry has gone in, but with the help of a very good friend I can provide you the answers:

4D. Look at = Eye ('grEY Envelope') ,

54D. Rose = Flower

river = flow-er

67A. Helps = Abets

sailor = AB

'AB' + 'set' is an anagram of 'abets'

Hope this helps.

Hi there,

I'm having trouble with the same one - I have Egress for 17d but can't for the life of me figure out 21a! It'll be one of those simple ones I guess! Just thinking about it too much! Rolling Eyes

Any ideas would be appreciated!

Thanks!!!
