Probably correct but very obscure.

Lincoln had the nickname Honest Abe but I wouldn't have got that in a month of Sundays.

Well done Scorpio, fits nicely.

I have a letter pattern for 6d) T?r??/?v?r The V could be a bit iffy.

Te (the) + revelry

Letters don't match. OP quotes 4, 5 then shows 5,4.

Feeling Dopey now, I'd penned a line in the grid as (5,4) not as (4,5) and hadn't noticed,,,Doh!!!

Thanks for your help.
