[factor-fiction]

hasten is more likely, I feel

[factor-fiction]

Evening Psybbo and vakayu- you weren't there when I started typing

[Psybbo]

Evening Factor, like the shades

[vakayu]

Evening factor we sneaked in!

[poortony]

ah thank you, I must be wrong with 19a a sign of nervousness or fear
as manifested in the skin, I have put goosebumps.

[factor-fiction]

The shades seemed a good idea at the time, Psybbo, but the sun had hardly been out since I put them on. Maybe I'll revert to one of my other avatars shortly.

[factor-fiction]

Sorry, poortony- what letters do you have for 19a?

[bibblebub]

22d) hasten

[factor-fiction]

Goosebumps was suggested in Crosswords earlier. Maybe it should be gooseflesh?

[bibblebub]

i reckon that might make 19a gooseflesh

[TheWinner]

another word for goosebumps is gooseflesh I think, would that fit???

[poortony]

Thank you gooseflesh will work in, so 8d was folk lore.
Thank you all for your help.
I like the shades.
