Everyman Crossword No.4095, The Observer, Sunday 13th April 2025

'One absconding from starters of steak and kidney pies, you say?(7)'

I've got 'escapee' but cannot parse.

'In this manner of speaking, power comes forth(4)'. I've got 'lisp' but again cannot parse. Thanks in advance

Escapee - "s(teak) k(idney) p(ie)" (starters, said)
Lisp - if you lisp, "force" (power) is "forth"

For the baked goods, think of cockney rhyming slang. What are porkies? And then what are lots of porkies? And then how would Spooner say it?

Escapee sounds like a 3 - letter acronym; one letter per syllable!
