27a Early arrival having nosy look around front of mansion? (5)
PREM _ ?

14a Male playwright, one eclipsed by female one (5)
_ EHAN (presumably BEHAN) but why?

33a Nameless one with this may represent Eeyorism! (6)
M_SERY (misery = eeyorism) but why "nameless one"?

13a Copying an ant, but without resentment (5)
APIS _ ? (presumably APISH -copying) Pish = resentment therefore how does the "ant" figure?

9d Refrain entering a turnstile –encouragement for one of ladies’ team? (8)
AT _ AGIR _ (Obviously ATTAGIRL = the second part, but why refrain entering a turnstile? "air"??

Also is "Reechie" an alternate version of "reechy" as "reechie" parses an answer perfectly as long as it is a word!

Many thanks

27a Premy, prey around M
Question Author
Ozzy - Thanks - I thought of Premy (I had "pry" around M) but could not parse the E! Is "prey" an archaic version of "pry"?
Question Author
Also 4d Battle conclusion: not dead finally –relax (6)
LOO _ _ N
I have Loosen (relax) = (water)loo + sen (I can't parse the "sen"?
33 Anagram of misery plus o(N)e
Question Author
Thanks Jackdaw!
Not sure JJ.
prey on something can mean pry, observe, sneak up on, etc.
4d LOOSEN
The Battle of LOOS, + END, conclusion, minus D for 'dead'
14a BEHAN
Aphra BEHN was a playright, around A (one)
Chambers has REECHIE, REECHY, RECHIE, as alternatives for 'grimy'
Question Author
Many thanks again Ozzy and also to iminoz!
27a is EM (the first letter of 'mansion') in PRY
13a is A PISMIRE ('an ant') less IRE ('resentment')
9d is TAG ('[a] refrain') in A TIRL ('turnstile')
Question Author
Very many thanks Spoffy
reechie == grimy cf.
Shakespeare association unclear ?
f{ree chie}f
f == folio
reechie == grimy cf.
Shakespeare reference ?
f{ree chie}f
f == folio
All done except for 10 across. Can`t parse it so not sure whether it ends with H or M.
Clue and letters placed, please?
I can't see a 10 across in this puzzle.
Apologies for the typo Scorpiojo and Mamyalynne. It should have read 13 across.
Parsed above by Spoffy.
Thanks Mamyalynne.
