Still unravelling the mystics of the cryptic. Two to go, both driving me nuts:
19a: Writer to sail off east? Fine! Have PE-A-I-E. (Thought maybe 'penalise' but doesn't make sense).
55d: Combines uniform qualities on the outside. Have U-I-I-S.
Big thank you in advance.
@boofy,
PENALISE is correct. 'pen' is a writer, plus anagram of 'sail' and E from east. To fine is to penalise.
Combines
uniform qualit
ies on the outside. UNIFIES
@cherrie,
Thanks Cherrie. Have taken all that on board. Also should have realised Penalised was correct as Fine was staring at me. Duh.
