I need help with one to finish. Two clues seem to be linked and I have the answer to the first (modicum)
15 (a) A quiet word about too much in charge of a small amount......
20 (a)....and the full name for its sign (9) -M-E-S-N-
Thanks in advance.

Thanks a lot mac44. I now realise that it had no link to previous clue.

15 sh-re-d ? (you don't say how many letters)

[mac44]

as laurel54 says 15a is modicum.

Sorry boxtops if my question was confusing. I only needed one answer but thanks for your time.
