I have solved the regular clues.
I can guess some of the unclueds.
I get words that mean : Friar, Sailor, Intruder, poor etc.
19a could be fruit rocks.

But I find no connection with the title.

Any hint welcome.

Thanks.

Hi Hankir
You are far ahead of me! I have 19a as dealing with certain Viking rocks/stones which relates to the title.
Can you help with 14d I have ?NI???F????
Thanks
19ac are indeed 'fruit rocks' and the other 8 unclued are synonyms of a rhyme associated with 19ac. Hope that's not too much or little of a hint.

14dn He=man in anagram(running)of nude plus fully(quite) = Unheedfully

Question Author
Man = He in anagram of Nude. Quite is a 5 letter word ending in Y.
Let me know if you need more.

I tried Viking stones on google, Came up with rune stones but no Octet connection. What is the sixth letter of 19a.

Question Author
Thanks greyfox.
I did not see your response when I typed mine.

But thanks for the hint. I got the rhyme.
What will my husband be?
I had sigurd stones which related to the octet perfectly! But 14d ruled it out so back to square one. I'm now lost so can someone help me get the rhyme. Thanks
Farrwest, the start of the rhyme is also the title of a very famous spy novel and film...

Farrwest, think George Smiley.
