not present
penetrate

'not present' is the answer to 14d?? or 8d? Confused I am.

14D is apostrophe - the "i" missing from "she is" - quite a clever clue, methinks!!

[gardenknowin]

Not present is ans. to 8D - and not such a clever clue, methinks again!!!

[1234567billy]

thanks all

[civdm]

oh, yeah, that's nice. I had come up with apostrophe, but had not worked out why.
