Do you have Bradfords red dictionary?
17 ...synonym for sermon is in there...

[Matakari]

Thanks,Roslyn, but unfortunately I do not have Bradford. Does 17d begin with P and ends with T ( or S )? And 28d begins with H and ends with T ?

My anagram solver does not give me anything for 29 and 38 to match…
Any more hints? Thank you kindly!

[roslyn251254]

29 your S and H are wrong
38 is split 4, 6 ...usual 4 letter word for broth ...your G is in the wrong place
17d begins dis ...di's ...the girl's ...Di is often used in crosswords to mean a girl...
28d yes starts with H ends with T

Chambers word wizard is good for crosswords

[Matakari]

Right, I've got them, but my 28d is disrupted to read :H?R??ST
Where have I gone wrong? I hope my 33a (RHUMBS ) ( At any point of the compass, a dance ). Thanks again!

[scorpiojo]

Your S should be an A

[ProfessorMaisie]

RHUMBA - 'dance'

[Matakari]

Many thanks to all!
