@laurenhoops,
I am new to cryptic but thought that owe was more suitable. As in falling behind in payments and sounding like ooh! I stand ready to be corrected by those wiyh more experience.

@twickles,
ah yes, I was thinking "ooh" but the H didn't fit w the other answer, It seems so obvious now you have put me on the right track! I was focusing on the "cry of surprise" and came up w Ole. Ha. Thanks for your input!!

@laurenhoops,
You are very welcome. I have been doing crosswords for years but never attempted cryptic. This one was the fourth one I have completed and being able to give an answer to an experienced puzzler gives me more pleasure than you could ever imagine.

@cherrie,
Hi Cherrie
Help, I am stuck on a cryptic (96 in OZ)
12d Most punctual member trapped in protest. I have P-O-P-EST. All my letters across seem OK, but I must have slipped up somewhere.
Hope you are well, you should be into Spring.
Thanks
Jim

@timur,
Yes
Thank you. The Crossword solver did not give an answer or my Oxford Dictionary puzzle solver. My brain is slowing down
Jim
