21 down (`family's line for right descent') is either `brood' or `blood' but I can't quite work out why it should be the one as opposed to the other -- couldn't it be read either way? Thanks! Katherine

the clue is telling you to substitute L for R (line for right) - so it's BLOOD.

Thanks for this, I'm sure you're right but I can't quite see why the clue couldn't equally be telling us `if you were to put line for right you'd get descent' which would make it `brood'? Best, Katherine

Tichfield

I agree Katherine. It could be read that way - but I don't think it should be.

The first reference is Family( Brood), you then replace R with L. Blood.

PS: Blood line is descent.

OK, thanks for these clarifications, I always did have a slightly perverse mind (which you need for crosswords but it gets me in trouble sometimes!). All the best, Katherine

Dont call it perverse Katherine, call it lateral thinking, it sounds nicer.:-)
