Confirmation and explanations of last two please. 1d.Definitive kinds of food and drink,wrongly ordered(4,3,4). I think its HARD AND FAST,but why? Also 38ac Carefully mark one answer gone through outside-that's fair(8) ?N?I?S?D. I can only think UNBIASED for fair but am blind to the wordplay. Help appreciated in advance

[Jumbuck]

1d food and drink,wrongly ordered = drink and food - hard (drink) + fast (food)

[Jumbuck]

38a carefully mark = N.B., one = i, answer = a, gone through = used (as in used up, exhausted)

-> u nb i a sed

Sorry to intrude.

Is 13d Tripartite and why ?

Thanks

[Jumbuck]

I don't have the crossword to be able to help without the clue

[toalisi]

jumbuck the clue is ' Like Henry VI , after a couple of cuts (10)

Any help appreciated.

[amtaff]

I entered tripartite because Shakespeare wrote Henry VI Parts 1,2,and 3. I don't get the couple of cuts reference either.

[kayakamina]

Tripartite.....Like Henry - Three reigns ....PARTI ( couple) in TRITE (cuts)

[Jumbuck]

Maybe a simpler explanation for tripartite is that if you cut something twice it's then in 3 parts.
