10a ...he sounds like one who embarks on a march (6)
I have B?R?E?

18a Come by looking embarrassed about loss of rights ... (9) I have ???A?N?E?

Thanks for any help with these two :o)

[gen2]

10a = border (boarder)

[sarumite]

Yes I had thought border gen2, but couldn't see the connection to "on a march".

[sarumite]

See it now .. one definition of march is also border !

[gen2]

18a Attainder

To come by = attain
embarrassed = red (about suggests anagram) --> der

attainder = loss of civil rights

[sarumite]

many thanks for that gen2 .. it's been a long day and I seem to be "running on empty" ... so will perhaps wind down now, cheers (S) :o)

[gen2]

Sorry I didn't explain the first one sarumite, Just because I was aware of that meaning of 'march' I shouldn't have assumed you would as well. Sometimes when explaining answers I wonder whether people see it as patronising so don't always do so.

That second one however was a hard one and a new word for me as well.

[gen2]

Aye, it's time for a nightcap here as well. Cheers.
