Negligee

[Polly37]

17down is 8 letters could it be negligee?

[Polly37]

22ac. is now T?I?G?? Could it be Trigger?

[Mamyalynne]

I can see 'negligent' losing book 'NT' - where does the extra 'E' come from?

[Mamyalynne]

Trigger looks fine.

[Polly37]

Mamyalynne - The correct clue to 17dn is Careless to lose book plus key wrapper - so that's where the other e comes from

[Mamyalynne]

Thank you ,now makes sense.
