Finished except for SE corner --24d Passage from Vidal's debut put off dean. I have A?L?? and am guessing ALLEY (=passage) but if the reference is to Gore Vidal's Williwaw it eludes me. If correct, then 28a Waugh is regularly sending back bit of novel, E?E???, will be EVELYN after all (VEL=bit of "novel"?). Help please?
