23d awful fate of disreputable character 3,3
I have bad e??
39 ac He ain't cut out to be faithful 9
I have a?t?e???c
72 ac He has shortened manuscript by having stitched edges
I have ?e?s (could it be either sews or hems)
Thanks in advance
@paula68,
23d bad end
39a authentic (anagram of 'he aint cut')
72a hems ('he'+ 'ms'. MS is short for manuscript)
@lmur,
Thanks but "bad end" for 23 down don't fit as 39 ac authentic, the third last letter is t where 23 d has a d. Where have I gone wrong?
@paula68,
I have Overkill for 32 across maybe making 23 down: Bad lot, seems right.
