16a Frozen ('to and fro' + Zen)

[lelliej]

Thank you Johnalex, that makes 1d ratify

[shaneystar2]

Hi again lelliej
I am stuck on 56A,40d and 42D
Help much appreciated.

[JerryB]

56a is HAND GRENADE - anagram of ANDORANGEHED, with the duck (the O) removed

40d I think is CHRONICLE, but I can only see a chronicle being a record, plus the letters of line are in there

42d I think is INFERTILE, to gather is to infer, is there a hat called a tile, or vice versa ?

[JerryB]

Oops, forgot - 56a - pineapple is (American ?) slang for a hand grenade.

[shaneystar2]

Many thanks JerryB and also to you lelliej for letting me hijack your thread.
This has been a great help. I had got one or two wrong hence my confusion.

[shaneystar2]

Me again ..think I have finished it now but could anyone confirm for me
31d ..I have Horst
and 41a ..Hoisted

[lelliej]

I have hurst f0r 31d, s in hurt - it means wood

[lelliej]

Sorry, can confirm hoisted - I think it's I in hosted (put on)

[shaneystar2]

Leliiej you are a sweetie ......I have been puzzling over 31D for ages and could only find Horst which is from the german for a thicket or wood .
Many thanks once again and Good Luck !
