Thanks, all, for the great help! I've got the theme covered and am left with three clues that I'm meditating upon. I hope they will soon be sorted out. And sorry, NACW, I do not know if the South of France may be considered exciting, but I distractedly said "evening" instead of "afternoon" (après-midi). Bonsoir!
I have the other one, I thought there were three.

Almost there but stuck on
16d Letters from God (departs for university) (4) ??DS.
34d Lily Langtry's opening involves husband-it's symbolic. (6) SE?H?L
Tilly2, 16;was answered on another thread. Zeds, letters, from Zeus.
Matakari, thanks/merci. The south of France seems quite exciting to me!
Thank you, NAC.
Thanks,Tilly2. The other one is Seghol. Sego, lily, with H, husband and the L from Langtry.
