Can some help pleasae. I have the theme, the 5 clues containing extra words (therefore the extra help), have discovered the name of the author and have 11 of the 12 words to be altered. I am stuck on the 12th, with two clues to get, 5 across and 5 down.

5a Swindle college servant at Cambridge (3), either ??G or G??

5d Safe cards played in bridge (5), either ??TER or RET??

(one of these answers has to be reversed, unless I've gone wrong somewhere else).

5 across is reversed and 5 down not. Both are straight double meaning clues albeit to obscure meanings in one case (5d) and a realtively obscure word in the other (5a).
Question Author
Sorry for the delay, but having great difficulties getting into Answerbank since 8pm. Thanks for your help. When I had first letter of 5 across (G) and knowing they were double meanings, I was able to work them out with the help of a thesaurus and Chambers. Never heard of either word in both contexts. Thanks again.
