Hello again. Funny (odd) day. His Nibs was playing away today so I didn't go . It gave me the chance for a lie in for the first time for ages and ages! SWMBO was not too pleased but, for me, it was bliss. When I did emerge from the sack it was lashing rain and has kept it up all day . I was worried that His Nibs must have got soaked and I rang him to see that he was OK. it turned out that the rain didn't start until after their game was over. But he was pleased that I cared . So it was worth while calling!
Thank heaven for the crossie though. I think I would have been demented if I hadn't had it to keep my brain going. And finished (well, apart from checking some things with you). He is coming in about a quarter of an hour and, as SWMBO has gone to meet a friend, we'll be just the two of us for a couple of hours. As you might imagine, I am looking forward to that!
On to the puzzle.

I have answers for all the clues but a few, as usual, I don't quite know why.
The first is: "Act for army corps head, though lacking papers." I think the answer is represent . This meets the Act for bit and RE (I know from previous puzzles) is the short version of an army corps. but I can't put it all together.

The next is: "Tremble with fear, having accessed the pumps" I am pretty confident that the answer is "shake in ones shoes" And I know that pumps can mean shoes. But again the rest???

Quiet and knowledgeable about ancient Japanese religion. I have found "Shango" as a religion and sh is quiet. But the rest??

That's it for the moment

Help, as ever, gratefully received

Represent

Shake in one's shoes - is an &lit - the whole clue is also the wordplay and definition.

[stevenj]

Thank you both. I see them both now. What about the other one? Can anyone guide me there please?

Mamya has answered you ^

[stevenj]

Thank you Mamyalynne. Sorry I was typing my last response and didn't see your answer. I still don't quite get the "shake " part though. can you help me a bit further please?
(I hope you are well)

When you tremble with fear you shake.

[stevenj]

Yes I see that. it's in the other half: "accessed" I don't get
steven

[Mamyalynne]

If your pumps have been accessed the you (or possibly someone else) is 'in your shoes'

[scorpiojo]

In = accessed

[Mamyalynne]

^ then*

[stevenj]

So the "shake" part is unclued?
(btw what does the "then" signify Mamyalynne')

[cashier]

Shake is clued by the tremble with fear

[Mamyalynne]

Tremble with fear (Shake), having accessed the pumps (in one's shoes)


^then* was a correction to my previous post

[stevenj]

Thank you so much. I think I understand now.

His Nibs is running late (drat) but should be here soon,
