Ev 1544

All done except 30a, 'Lord and servants frequently grasp the meaning of Cooper's autobiography'. Unless I am mistaken, at least one 'o' is omitted from the wordplay.

Also cannot parse 33a.

Also for the endgame - I take it to mean that you solve the clashes by restoring the 'heads' of the 'outlaws', although I suppose in theory you could intepret it the other way (off with their heads as it were). Thoughts? Many thanks.

[RickGDG]

Actually I get 33 now.

[RickGDG]

Got 30a too. Should really be more patient. Thoughts on the endgame appreciated.

[ProfessorMaisie]

I think you replace the individual heads for the common clashing letter in all of them (which is an abbrev for the second word of the shaded definition).

[RickGDG]

Oh yeah, that makes sense. Many thanks.
